A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

The final candy bar graph, with my 11-year-old recoding the tallies in her journal and calculating their value

The final candy bar graph, with my 11-year-old recoding the tallies in her journal and calculating their value

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.

I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

Screenshot of the asteroid monster in Empire Strikes Back reaching out of a hole in an asteroid to bite at the millenium falcon as it flys away. Next to it is a doodle of the same scene, but you can see underneath the surface of the asteroid that the monster has a sexy humanoid body wearing booty shorts and appears to be stuck in the asteroid hole from the shoulders down. The monster is blushing and shouts "Wait come back I'm stuck" with a heart emoji.

The very latest updates have made Orange roulette at least 10% percent scarier, and as previously mentioned, uh, 'stat-ier'!

I made some adjustments to the Orange Roulette stats - a little more visually dynamic, with special stats specific to modes! For those of you that love counting oranges, I think you'll find this to your liking 🍊🍊🍊😜

This administration has a real problem with the truth. It lies constantly, and then also tries to hide anything truthful that damages its narrative or debunks its lies.

My cat has died. Cat was already fully grown when I took her in 10 years ago. No one knew her age, she may have lived to 15, she may have lived to 20! No more meows, lap sits, scratching at my computer monitor to get my attention. Cat is missed. I am sad.

AI is like a joke I'd make about asking people their video game ideas:
"What kinda game would you make. Oh, but no copyright infringement."
"Well ... I always had this idea ... where Mario is ..."
"I SAID NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT"
Movie ideas tend to beeline straight to that as well.
