I also have the highly controversial belief that all humans deserve housing, food, freedom, and healthcare, and I'm not quiet about it.

I'm suddenly reminded why I gave up social media 6 years ago. 9 days into this experiment and I give up. Congrats, world.

I generally try to be kind to my fellow humans. Life sucks for the average person, particularly here in the United States, and no one needs more negative energy, especially when they are just trying to survive in a world that hates us.

Your average Gen X and Millennial knows this, but I doubt anyone younger does. TL;DR: it is perfectly legal to burn a physical media (CD/dvd/blu-ray) you own onto a USB portable hard drive to carry with you wherever you go.

🚨 OCTOBER 17 — NO KINGS: VOTE EARLY!
With our democracy at stake, we're showing up again to promote unprecedented voter participation in the midterms.
Our goal is to translate the historic protest power of No Kings mobilizations into a massive wave of voter turnout.

How anyone can continue to support this shit-stain, I'll never understand. I'm not surprised he's lying about being part of America's most traumatic event. I'm disappointed that there are people who believe him.
There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

I have an incredibly strong bias against genAI. I am in my last semester of my Biology BS, and watching Gen Z rely almost completely on genAI for everything has been disheartening. This study proposes AI to help with medical screening, and it might just have changed my mind that all AI is bad.
🧪 Discourse about AI here is running hot, but a quick reminder, all AI is not GenAI. Here a doctor share's her perspective on AI.
She points out that in a RCT on AI (MASAI) they found that using AI to route low-risk mammograms cut reading workload by 44% and dropped missed interval cancers by 12%.

Male archeologists have been rewriting or flat out erasing women's leading roles in historic societies for millennia. It's nice to see someone pointing a flashlight at the truth, uncomfortable as it might be for male readers. Imagine: men aren't the center of the universe. Shocking, I know.

All I’m saying is that I can source info faster using an LLM than manually. Evaluating sources, putting together a bibliography, ensuring accuracy, none of that changes. It’s using the technology to automate the grunt work.

Are you doomscrolling? Unclench your jaw and spend a few seconds taking deep breaths as you watch this American Redstart play with their food (processing a moth before they can eat it). Such hyper little pals!

Apparently the renaming shenanigans isn’t over. Trump is now floating the idea of changing New Mexico to “New America.”

My precious baby, Abby. Don't let the innocent look fool you. She's sweet to me, and an absolute demon to literally everyone else. Known for attacking my shoes if I even look at the front door.
