Well, I do, sometimes, in work-related emails. But only with people I know. (i.e., with people who already know what a nerd I am).

I love Barcelona, but when I go there I find myself cursing all the tourists, even though I am a tourist.

Oh, of course--and multiple people will post the same song; no harm done. I just like to check first to keep myself from over-posting.

Yes--go and listen to it! Laura Nyro's music never gets old.

I usually search first to see if anyone has already posted something I want to post. So I searched for "Buy and Sell," but missed it because of this, so I went and posted it. And THEN I saw it.

But I have it playing now, so I don't want to delete it! 😀

I was at a symposium on AI in health care. One of the speakers approvingly cited papers denouncing "humanism"-- the idea that humans are superior to machine-generated intelligence.

My first thought was--did you have to corrupt that word and the whole concept of humanism? My second thought was: WTF?
