DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts.
Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many
sacrifices.
Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

I hate "hustle culture." I was describing some cool art I'm making to a friend, and she couldn't stop trying to get me to create an Etsy shop to sell it.
She was really struggling to understand that I was doing it *for fun*, and if I do it for a job it won't be fun anymore.

This whole thread is important.
And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

A good reminder that using the term "a.i." for everything isn't helpful. There is an important difference between machine learning and LLMs.
Machine learning can be helpful!
LLMs are currently mainly plagiarism machines, wasting an outrageous amount of resources to produce garbage-juice outputs.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I think bringing attention to just this fact about poison ivy would motivate a lot more people than current messaging.
I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this:
Have you noticed that poison ivy seems worse and itchier?
It's not your imagination. It's Climate Change.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Gotta love Tubi as a streaming service - they are at least honest about the fact that they have ads. Also they frequently have ads for other streaming services, as if they're secure in the knowledge you'll come back to them.

When they're driving along into the facility, there is all this suuuper dramatic ominous music, and not much is happening. All I could think of was "it sounds like my brain this week"
