I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss

This is so sad. “Nights are the hardest.

“I can’t sleep because of our own situation,” Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. “I can’t sleep because of what I know what’s happening around the world. I can’t sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering.”

Things I keep saying that no one likes.

this is like a miracle

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

RIGHT??

I’ve been a professor for 32 years. My 25-year old daughter just just started her career as a physician’s assistant and her salary is the same as mine:

MAD BILLS TO PAY, the first feature by Dominican American director Joel Alfonso Vargas, opens in NYC tomororw (LA on May 1st). It’s a vibrant portrait of a young Latino man in the Bronx who is confronting fatherhood. Here’s my review out of Sundance 2025: variety.com/2025/film/re...

Okay I can accept that AI can be a math genius, but that’s just one type of intelligence.

They linked existing ideas/work in a novel way but the elements were already there.

Apple and Google have continued to offer mobile apps that let users make nonconsensual sexualized images of people, despite their policies prohibiting such content, according to a report by the Tech Transparency Project. Read more: bloom.bg/4cqWKYH

What Brought Down Eric Swalwell In some ways, Eric Swalwell’s miserable tale is as old as time. In others, it looks like a parable of our modern media environment.

Yeah I mean so many triggers but also it will take at least another month for the prevention medicine to build up again after insurance changes last year interrupted the frequency

I don’t want glossy summaries I want details and mess and rumors and shade. I barely go on instagram anymore bc of the awful ai generated captions & stupid AI videos. We have to be better than this.

I mean, there are no consequences or accountability for AI. Also it cannot produce anything new, just uses what already exists albeit in a much faster & efficient way than a human. It cannot truly create & it is annoying bc the widespread use of AI is making everything deceptively mediocre. Mid.

Online. Rape. Networks.

So much recent news of people sexually harassing or abusing others. I was just trying to make some coffee & catch up in news! Don’t let these heinous happenings find you/catch you unawares. Take the time to digest & process the horrors or shield yourself.

This part. I think that AI can be a powerful tool if used wisely but I am also angry at how many billions of dollars have been spent on shitty AI rather than funding languishing schools in underserved areas and paying teachers more. Investing in people should be valued so much more.

This one, I’m on day 3. But its been off and on for several months now. I’m tired.

Research does not support retention of information provided by querying AI. The studies show that just searching yourself online leads to better retention of the information.

Students need to learn how to search for information & not just default to AI. Its too east & we lose skill

Thank you! Migraine got a lot worse before getting better, but I’ve been getting through.

Yes! And ability to silence it

Omg, amazing! I need to figure out if my watch can do that. I am clearly underutilizing the device. Also so sorry this happened to you! Glad you’re okay.

Then what’s the point?! I have ADHD and I need my devices to make up for when my brain glitches

Today I am going to work on my reports. Stating it here for accountability bc the migraines continue, work keeps piling up, but there’s only one way out and it is through 😩

Yeah but its also nice to know features of these other devices. I didnt know fitbits can do the other stuff. My dad’s Garmin can somehow tell your blood sugar/glucose and I have decided that that is TMI for me. Lol

I had similar issues w watch wearing. I bought leather bands for the apple watch and it helped a lot

That’s amazing! Must give you some peace of mind
