This is hilarious 😂. Sometimes we need laughter to get us through..
Definitely great to have these reporting standards for studies evaluating LLM performance!
Excited to see these recommendations to standardize LLM-reporting. Thanks!

The reality is: Kids’ health is poor in the US because Republicans have systematically defunded hospitals and medical care for kids, and Republicans’ corporate allies have gutted parents’ pay, left many areas as food deserts, and concentrated wealth into a billionaire oligarchy.
Check out this week's What's New list of 172 new #genealogy events added to our calendar (webinars, seminars, conferences, calls for papers, etc.). The post also includes a few current genealogy news tidbits (with NO affiliate sponsor links). I hope you find it useful! www.conferencekeeper.org/blog
Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Thank you for honoring his memory ❤️
Beautiful photos!
BREAKING: An appeals court rejected the Trump administration's request to overturn a court order blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport people without due process.
This is a win for immigrants' rights and the rule of law.
I've been enjoying using the clipping feature on NewspaperArchive by Storied as of late. Today is the anniversary of my grandmother's death in 2006 and I added the clipping from her obit to my family history archive; also @wikitree.bsky.social & FamilySearch Family Tree profiles. RIP grandma! 💔
Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway
Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.
Love a little profile bling! I'm starting to add these genealogy labels from Black Pearls of Genealogy onto my online genealogy work. This is one I've just added to a profile I'm working on at @wikitree.bsky.social and FamilySearch.
I enjoy reading the weekly profiles to get to know the members of the community - thank you!
Definitely! And post about it when you do ❤️
Speaking of BillionGraves - this is a visual representation of many of the headstones I've photographed at a historic black cemetery in Nashville. I am very much wanting to get back and take more! #genealogy #gravesites
I bet it would have been a sight to see LOL. Do you use BillionGraves?
Lol!
The BillionGraves team had a monument company bring actual headstones to their booth at RootsTech so demos could be done on how to use the app - ha! Read more in their blog post recap blog.billiongraves.com/billiongrave.... Pretty cool. I LOVE using this app to take GPS-tracked headstone photos!
As part of an MLIS internship, @jordanfrederick.bsky.social has been working to refine Open Library’s catalogue and collections.
Yes! I'm emailing you...
BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for removing medical research by private doctors from a government website.
Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was removed because of the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender."
The government cannot censor science.
Steve Little's presentation on Generative AI for #RootsTech is a must-watch! www.familysearch.org/rootstech/se.... I enjoy using these tools SO MANY WAYS for genealogy and he gives a very helpful overview! @digitalarchivst.bsky.social #NotAtRootsTech
Crista Cowan talked about the Ancestry Networks earlier today and I love that they are making this offering!
I have zero plantation ancestors, but I’m listening to the wonderful Renate Yarborough Sanders about their records. You can always learn something with unfamiliar #genealogy records! #RootsTech #NotAtRootsTech
