“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

In case you're wondering...
it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.

Don't stop talking about SignalGate

The Fascist dictator: “Always right.” “Many enemies…much honor.” “Believe, obey, fight.” That pretty much sums things up in a dozen words.

Just finished a 5 star middle grade novel! Under the Egg by Laura Marx Fitzgerald was so intriguing, with fantastic analysis of art, and captivating history, all bound in a touching, exciting mystery. Tied in so well with our Renaissance art studies in our homeschool, too!

I see lots of NHL posts, but haven't seen anyone posting about watching PWHL. (for free on YouTube!) They are great! Even if only Montreal got a cool name and logo.

Just for no reason at all, I was just thinking about how spectacular the WASP museum is. It's right on I20. An easy day trip from DFW. Next field trip I need to plan: Tuskegee....

The feeling of discovering a spectacular new thrift store is my favorite. 10/10 recommend hunting down cool, clean, fun second hand shops.
