🍁Retired middle school band director. You can’t scare me. Proud daughter of a feminist mom, married to the love of my life for 35 years. Pretty far to the left.

Mary Peltola prefers being called an “Eskimo” to being called Inuit, and compares it to LatinX? Tell me you aren’t connected to your culture without telling me you’re not connected to your culture.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

PSA: If you're taking an SSRI and it's helping you: don't stop it suddenly because of a politician's comments. Abruptly stopping antidepressants can cause withdrawal symptoms and relapse. If you're thinking about making a change, talk with your healthcare professional and make a plan. 💚

Listening to the call on the Belgium USA game and when the commentators say the US team is sloppy, I wonder if they think Daddy will just phone up FIFA and fix the score if they don’t win.

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.
1. On Tuesday and with Trump's backing, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino won a competitive New York House primary—and likely a seat in Congress—after running on "aggressively detransitioning America."
His extreme rhetoric must be a warning to us all.

This is exactly the kind of doomerism and pessimism that big tech is feeding, driving and relying on, to sell us their planet eating monster gAI. They want you to discount your originality; your creativity, your uniqueness; to think that some AI’s thoughtless ‘output’ will always be better.
Anyway. Back to this man telling the audience he felt useless. It's actually worse than that. He said he felt we would all be rendered useless by AI's computational prowess. This reminded me immediately of the Ivy-league professor who recently penned an op-ed calling himself useless in the age of AI
