This week I’m talking about a 3 year flop era that I experienced after moving to England. Here’s how I got through it 😮‍💨

What we fail to consider… “knowing the questions” is a function of training… training requires … education
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

How come people who don't celebrate things always have to tell us they don't celebrate things when nobody asked?

I’m so over Kori #DragRace . Don’t care if she’s a ki on social media. On the show where she’s competing, she grates.

Forgot to post about this week’s piece for ‘My Number One Feeling’ Substack:

It’s a short piece of fiction on a complicated love affair.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️

The #AppleCiderVinegar series on Netflix is really well done. I was so happy to see that it takes a zoomed out approach to Belle Gibson by focusing on the ✌🏾 wellness ✌🏾 industry . There’s more stuff, too. I may write about this for MNOF Substack

This!
Onya doesn't take accountability. First the trim, now this. Instead of apologizing and saying it was an accident she gets angry and starts yelling at the girl. How are you the victim here? #DragRace

I finally watched Emilia Perez. I can see how it’s polarizing. The story’s interesting but the musical aspect detracts rather than enhances.

This.
The question is not what went wrong with the Harris campaign, it's what went wrong with the country.

Democrats can't save this country from itself. We tried. White voters chose death. Just like they did during COVID.
