I've been visiting family here for ~20 years and lived here a few and only learned of this myself maybe 2 years ago.

A day full of working with the LLM but it is returning not-quite-right results
- feels socially isolated
- feels (not to anthropomorphize the LLM) like being gaslit repeatedly
Neither of these things feel great!
Providers ought to add a screen like Wii sports had "why not take a break?"

First search results for her name for me. "Made of sunshine".
Go ahead and honor her. No one is upset about that. Folks aren't doing "purity tests". They are asking you to do a bit of the reading before you join the discussion. Seems like the test is this week.

The media is already writing sympathetic bits about Renee Good, the nice mom with stuffed animals in the car.
Stop centering whiteness.
