I don't know enough about it to say it *never* happens. I agree that if it does, it's vanishingly rare.

I also got a polio booster before going to Kenya. As well as meningitis, hep a/b, typhoid, rabies, and yellow fever. I am *set*.

Companies Blame AI for Job Cuts. The Data Tells a More Complicated Story. Companies attribute tens of thousands of layoffs to AI, but how much is automation actually involved?

Blaming #layoffs on #AI is also a humblebrag of sorts β€” if companies are laying off people due to AI, it must be because they’re so advanced and such skilled users of the technology.

I would totally go there. I've been to multiple train museums (most recently the one in Nairobi).

You know, on @nbcsnl.bsky.social this weekend, all Colin Jost has to do is repeat this stuff verbatim.

Prophecy, not politics, may also shape America’s clash with Iran | CNN President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran may not be shaped just by politics. It may also be influenced by a controversial set of doomsday Christian prophecies that could push America’s clash with Iran ...

Africa, particularly Kenya, has a really interesting energy story. Half of Kenya's electricity comes from geothermal, for example.

Betting on their warmongering is bad enough. I'm worried about them warmongering on their betting.

How does this change their plans to vote in the midterm elections?

How do students vote? Are they allowed to register on campus, or are they supposed to register in their home states? Can they use student ID to vote?

Any protests planned? What rules does the school have for protests and absences?

If you liked Nimh, read Report from Group 12. Same author and I wish there was a movie.
