the baby (almost 2) has acquired a bottle with barbie on it and when she’s looking for it she runs around the house saying “my lady!!”
Just so I understand-
the tariff refund portal is opening Monday so businesses can get a refund

Dear men sending me friend requests: No.
My motto as guest speaker, visiting writer, panelist, etc. has always been: less tech is best.
The more props you have, the more likely something will go wrong.
I think I'm just going to carry that motto with me going forward. In the age of AI psychosis, less tech is best.

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
As a writer, I'm tired of settling for a pittance. I'm beyond exhausted at being told "this is the best you can get." I'm done with the world's richest people and companies stealing my stories and acting as if theft isn't theft when they do it. 2/
