I got a hair cut today from someone I used to get my hair cuts from when I was a teen and my mom has kept going to him for the past (shudder) 30yrs. He’s so good.

I am now an insane person: I did an API pull from here and got 100 posts with the #habs and #gohabsgo hashtags into a csv file, and then made a word cloud! ALL WITH AI DOING THE CODING.

Why, you may ask, am I at a Bass Pro Shop? We meet our dog trainer here. Plenty of possible distractions (like mounted bears)

It’s 5:30pm and there’s still light left in the sky and I had no idea how much I needed that today.

Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack in your head.

Ok two more! Did you know they banned teens using social media in Australia? Here’s an explainer.

One of my students could t decide between two topics so did two zines!
Background image on the cover of a zine of “code” from The Matrix, overlaid with the title The algorithm survival guide with the shadow of a person taking a picture. Back cover of the zine with the illustration of a clenched fist thrust in the air with the words: RESISTANCE Resist the feed, reclaim your attention, and choose your sources of information! A cover of a zine with the title Copyright Combat over the illustration of two old-timey boxers fighting and underneath it reads “Know your rights, defend your creations!” A page of the zine on The Disney Effect with a picture of Mickey Mouse behind bars

This is from my one student who was (and still is) the biggest AI cheerleader.
A zine cover that reads “Artificial Intelligence: The future we deserve” over an image of robot and human hands shaking hands. A page of the zine with a mix of images, typed words, and annotations talking about how AI can help create a greener future.

I’m not looking forward to alt-texting this zine covers 🤣🤣🤣
A zine cover with an image of a question mark with a robot hand and a human hand shaking hands superimposed. There is also the text: Wired to Work: Should Al and Human Labor Coexist? To clarify: Many of the images found in this zine include robots. Robots and Al are NOT the same thing, but they are often portrayed as such (robots often represent Al). Therefore, I will be using pictures of them interchangeably. Al is undeniably becoming more integrated into our daily lives. In the workplace it is used for a variety of jobs and tasks, all of which have the same primary purpose: to increase productivity while reducing time consumption and human input. Is this going to help us create a future utopia, start an Al apocalypse, or will we end up somewhere in between? A zine back cover with the words: Closing Remarks Underneath there are two comics and then under that it reads: 1) Humans and Al can coexist in the workplace as long as in most cases, Al is used to make human labor easier rather than entirely replacing it. 2) Keeping that in mind there are some jobs in which it is most sensible for Al to replace humans, as long as other human jobs can be created in place of those that are lost. 3) Artificial intelligence is not "intelligent" and therefore should not replace tasks that require human consciousness. The day it does become "intelligent..." SOUND THE ALARMS!

Let’s go, how are we destroying our environment?

I really love this one. 10 Ways to Become Addicted to Social Media. It’s entirely hand-drawn, except for small fold-out typed-out texts.
