Okay. The people have spoken.

For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text).

Let the games begin.

Law school cost me $190,000.

I have paid $206,000 since graduation.

I now owe $223,000.

I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.

I genuinely believe law school student loans are designed to make pro bono representation impossible.

Welcome to the jungle
Our work week's just 4 days
And everyone gets medical
Plus a good 401K
And if you are harrassed
In any way sexually
HR will get on top of that
With confidentiality
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
My... My... My employee
Oooh
We hope you will succeed!

1.) My 83 year old dad had his first brush with AI this week He's a lawyer -- longtime readers know he got laid off in his 50's and got his law degree at 58, which is relevant because of proud he always was for getting that degree.

it's time for another one page rpg, I expect, so here's a game called Scheherazade. yes I know that's an intimidating combination of letters, but it's a big world out there and I am doing the best I can with an alphabet made up by ancient romans, who had a wine-based economy

My D&D group in my 20s used to mock our DM for making us roll for lots of stuff that should just be auto-success. In my 40s, I can somehow crit fail brushing my teeth and throw my back out for a week.

So I’m getting into my truck at the grocery store and a voice yells “Hey! Young lady!”

I am 48 so I did not turn, but then I see wild waving out a truck window. Old man straight off Duck Dynasty, full camo, beard to his sternum. He says “Your bumper sticker! Read books, punch Nazis?”

So... spells.

We're using spells to undo the work we've done... tricking rocks into thinking with lightning.

And trapping evil cars in circles of salt.

The old ways are new again.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Trump and Musk, literally the two worst people in the country, just endorsed Cuomo.
