People tell me things ChatGPT says about history, science, politics, or the economy & act like I'm supposed to believe what they said is true.
It underscores why plagiarism is considered a social faux pas, not actual harm—citing a source is "what you do" but they don't know why.

Yep. Elon isn’t doing evil shit because he uses drugs or because he’s autistic. He does it because he’s a bad person who has the resources to cause widespread harm.
Someone in your life has likely used ketamine. It doesn’t make people behave badly. Someone in your life might be alive thanks to ketamine.
Ketamine is an invaluable drug and doesn’t make people racist or fascist. Stigmatize bad people instead of giving them an excuse by stigmatizing drugs they use

I wrote a more personal Substack post today. But as I've seen people wrongly attribute the myriad problems with Musk to ketamine use, I wanted to add my voice to the conversation, as someone who is able to teach health policy thanks to ketamine's benefits. open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

Trump and Musk are eliminating any part of government that works well, because that undermines their thesis that government doesn’t work.
GSA (which houses 18F) turns a profit as an agency. Naturally it has to be destroyed. 18F’s healthy revenue stream also means it must go.

My son is saving for an Xbox & it brought up a buried memory of 5 yrs ago when my ex suddenly dumped me then told me he’d reconsider if I bought him an Xbox X. My mind was so messed up from years of his abuse that I was just confused instead of immediately blocking him as I’d do if it happened now.

don’t know who needs to hear this but empathy doesn’t require eagerness. you don’t have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because it’s right and because the alternatives are worse

Gave someone a jacket that no longer fits me through my neighborhood buy nothing group and she left me a cute little thank you card that has absolutely made my day. Perhaps a sign I’m desperate for some kindness these days but I immensely appreciated the gesture.

Carefully covered everything in two layers of plastic before tie dying yet still ruined my beautiful dining room table that I’d spent many hours on just a few years ago. Currently hating myself for the fuck up because the last thing I need is another home project to steal my minuscule free time
