Haf a fun scare at work today where an AI slop news site (thanks Quartz News!) published an article saying the Boeing SPEEA contract vote wqs rejected and lots of news outlets picked it up. No citations in the article, the article bounced around to quotes from different *years* and made no sense.

Honestly the best Fall Activity is going to a middle school football game where your kid is playing in the pep band. The football antics are great, the band is great, the weather is great, cheap hot dogs. This is what it's all about

The internet could probably use more photos of dogs wearing sunglasses in line at the pharmacy. So I'll go first. One with a wee blep.

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Maple loves wearing her pink sprinkle donut collar. Most dogs hate the cone of shame, but Maple's brain may be made of candy. And that's ok.
