The idea that I care more about a genre or topic or hobby than I do about quality and thoughfulness is wild. Who would prefer a life full of swill over a smaller amount of good things?

Thanks councilor. You were very impressive today in your passion and preparedness on this stuff. Your hard work and thoughfulness is much appreciated.

I love witnessing kindness. I’m having a late lunch in a small Thai restaurant. A technician is here fixing their soda machine. The owner asked him if he’d had lunch yet and he said no. She had him choose something from their lunch menu on the house.

Biden is disappointing in many ways to many people, yet we can't expect political candidates who represent large, diverse, and unwieldy coalitions to ever inspire adoration. Biden isn't a hero. He's just the man standing between us and MAGA dictatorship. @blanksslate.bsky.social

He's also responding to questions about his obvious conflict of interest with the sensitivity and thoughfulness of a 32-year old twitter-addicted incel. Blocked.
howdy everyone! a little PSA!! this is @pabloreports.bsky.social, he covers trans policy on capitol hill, and he's profiling representative mcbride for the new republic
he's also dating the staffer for nancy mace who likely wrote the resolution targeting her
never read a single piece he writes!

It honestly makes me really mad. Jason's doing such good work with the podcast, his book, and the next book and he approaches it all with such thoughfulness and kindness. And these sanctimonious turds can't even be bothered to develop the slightest clue of who the fuck they're talking to.

That is very true. The page number requirement was always such a sadness for me from teachers. Luckily as I developed relationship with those teachers I could gently make suggestions and thoughfulness in voice and choice. #TLSkyChat
#nonfiction books tend to have higher lexiles, from what I have been noticing #tlskychat. So that may win teachers over who only look at the number of pages.

This makes me get teary, too. I miss presidents who aren't malevolent and nasty. I miss having one with dignity and compassion. I miss one with a sense of humor that isn't at the expense of others. I miss one with intelligence and thoughfulness. I miss having one that can relate to the least of us.

Do I agree with every policy they have shared? Not necessarily, but I trust them more than any other politicians, to be able to bring a topic forward for discussion and thoughfulness, and to be receptive to the input of the whole community.

It is an honor to count @finchinthestacks.bsky.social as a colleague, collaborator, and friend. I am immensely proud of him and grateful for his scholarship and thoughfulness and expertise. He's off to Really Great Things, and his departure is another MAJOR loss for our former workplace.
It's official! My last day at the Linda Hall Library will be this Friday, August 8th. Watch this space for where I’m off to! In the meantime, I’ve got to pack up for an international move…

It turns out, LLMs are trained of the internet and the internet is full of crap. Things that are super tedious it can be a life saver for, but anything that requires actual thoughfulness, well... don't be tricked into thinking it will do better than you would if you were knowledgable at the task.

Chinchy and QT are very much two sides of the same coin^^
Chinchy is sweet, but his mischief can, well, get way out of hand.
QT is mischievous, but his thoughfulness ensures that his mischief is only ever good natured fun for it's targets.
