Who could have predicted AI really wasn't a silver bullet? Literally, any creative person.
Around 40% of people say they’ve received AI-generated workslop in the last month, according to a recent survey.

I have the same problem with email questions. I also hate when someone sends me multiple emails in a row ...
More and more, I’m sending *one question per email*
Because I hate hate hate when I send an email with multiple questions, and the person responds only answering the last one. Happens all the time. Even when I literally number the questions, 1., 2., 3…

Brian Kilmeade’s “just kill them” comment about homeless people is vile, but the fact that his co-hosts didn’t even blink is equally chilling. It’s a reminder of Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance: if we tolerate the intolerant, we risk letting their toxic views erode the very foundation of society

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

My 97-year-old father-in-law insisted we plant kohlrabi in the garden. Here it is as ham and mushroom pizza with baked kohlrabi as the "crust." Actually, quite delicious!

The Oxford comma (also known as the ‘serial comma’) is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by ‘and’ or ‘or.’

I like raspberry toast, and peach toast, and chipped beef toast, too. I just like toast!

The Great Depression was a year later.
