I didn't expect that.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I saw a lot of people posting their favorite cover songs and thought I’d add mine to the mix

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

So she can be a LITERAL pain in the ass, instead of a figurative one?

It’s a shame. There has been interest from outside individuals, but school requires a staff member to be in charge, so no dice.

this was my last year being understanding so goodluck to everyone

If they were looking for employee practices/policies to get folks back in their doors, this is absolutely fucking NOT the way to do that.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Cover of Spacewalking With You, a coming of age manga that celebrates different learning types as the story progresses with the friendship of two loner types.

@kodansha.us So I don’t normally review, well….anything, but THANK YOU for licensing “Spacewalking With You”! As a YA Librarian with a pretty solid manga collection and wide variety of readers, this is hands down the best representation of neurodivergence in any manga I’ve ever read (it’s a lot!)! 💚
