This *should* be the sort of thing that soothes some Democratic anxiety in DC about the shutdown. But we'll see.

If he had any political instinct he’d use this as an opportunity to talk about how easy it is for cancerous ideologies to metastasize in the minds young American men — especially in the service. He’d open it and own it and admit it and fall on his goddamn sword but all he can do is blame and whine.

A teeny tiny brown spotted toadlet sits on a lily pad. Its eyes are so large and it is so small. It's nose is very pointy.

It was the best. 40mpg and it handled like a go-kart. Eventually got destroyed in a hail storm, sadly.

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.
