This article resonated with me (I say, with full awareness of the irony of posting about it here). I have largely “opted out,”, and I’ve largely seen the same patterns unfold. It’s a strange modern hermitage: peace, privacy, and often, silence.

Our music director frequently exhorts us to get as close as we can to “too much,” while still staying on the right side of good taste, and honestly I think that’s good general life advice.

Opinion | ‘They’ has been a singular pronoun for centuries. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s wrong.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

A Toronto man appears to have answered a question that those stuck in traffic have been asking themselves since time immemorial: can I get to my destination faster on foot?
