Conservatives ask me if I want to sleep with men now. Liberals ask me if I like Taylor Swift now. The answer to both is no.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

“I’m not worried about Long Covid”
Of course you’re not. Most people weren’t worried about it, until it happened to them
This is true of most disabilities. People think they’re the exception. That we’ve done something “wrong”. It’ll be different for them
Disability can & does happen to everyone.

In front of Wendy's ad announcing that they're new limited Thin Mint Frosty, a QR code to buy girl scout cookies is pasted. The words read "Might need to top this with actual Thin Mints" the link above reads a link with the text "Vienna can hook you up." I'm sorry this alt text is weird. I'm high

A white woman recently took to TikTok in shock after being fired.
She expressed surprise, believing perhaps that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires were exclusively people of color.
However, a lesser-known fact is that white women are the largest demographic of DEI hires in the U.S.

OK WELL SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EMRYOS
Here's a story about my children who, in spite of the fact they were born two years apart, are CONVINCED they're twins
They came to me, with their evidence & I, thinking scientists would laugh with me, tweeted about it
It did not go how I thought it would
