Have you tried Claude in Word? First I’ve seen that does Bluebooking pretty competently, at least on some of my initial tests.

One of the things I love about parenting at this age (my son is 8) is that he is really cool and has great taste, so I learn about neat things through him. Loved this animation, to a 1939 song. share.google/LqflNFDDqa6g...

Love to see one of my all-time faves getting the recognition she deserves! And love to hear about the great work she's doing at ALA!

Do I know anybody here that has experience scaling the sales/partnership side of a SAAS org? We've gotten nearly 1,000 new API users in Q1 and we're losing our minds. I'm sure there's a playbook here. Anybody been down this path or know somebody that has?

This is a big, big deal. It honestly blows me away that FLP is capable of doing this now.

To the Editor — Late-spring frosts (LSFs) — frost events occurring after germination and budburst of herbaceous and woody plants, respectively — have an important ecological and economic impact on agriculture and forestry in temperate and boreal regions of the world. The damage induced by LSFs to vulnerable plant organs markedly affects growth, health, competitive ability and distribution limits of plants, and, in North America and Europe, causes more economic losses to agriculture than any other climate-related hazards1,2. While attribution of a single LSF episode to climate change is difficult, both the frequency and the severity of damage due to LSF may be amplified by the climate crisis. Furthermore, attempts to mitigate LSF damage and climate change impacts at both shorter and longer timescales may only exasperate the issues.

Sometimes I hate being a librarian, because I can go from "oh the poor magnolias, they seem like they've been zapped by frost every year lately :( " to "oh no, this is BAD bad" relatively quickly.

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

Wonder if I could vibe code up a browser extension that lets me hover over the name of someone in a news article, to see how the article previously defined their title and organization. I spend so much time scrolling up looking for the first mention of the person.

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame.

13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

Is Copilot in Microsoft 365 actually good now? I feel like I'm finally able to answer the kinds questions I've always wanted to. (e.g., "Do I have any emails I forgot to respond to?" "Do I have any upcoming events referenced in email that are not on my calendar?")

Two Solutions for Hallucinated Citations to Unpublished Cases – AALL Legal Innovation & Technology SIS

If a brief cites a case but no one can retrieve it, is it a hallucination? When the cite is '2022 WL 4637582' and you lack a subscription, there's no way to know. New LIT-SIS blog piece argues WL & LX should open up citation verification for the good of us all. litsis.classcaster.net/2026/02/26/t...

The real danger of agentic AI is it has me thinking "a *system* will fix me! that's what I need!" and looking for a comprehensive multi-agent claude plan for organization/task management. (at 2:30 am. I've since recovered)

Those were some good-eating planarians! My son loves to look at critters in creek water so we have observed many a planarian but haven’t cut them up together yet.

Did anyone else study planarians in high school? Anyone else name yours Gavin Rossdale, and then when you cut it up into three pieces (who all lived on as new worms), their names were Gavin, Ross & Dale?
