One under-discussed aspect of Rob Reiner is that he was lifelong friends with Billy Crystal, Albert Brooks, and Christopher Guest: three historically funny guys who don’t seem like easy hangs.

AI is exhausting workers so much, researchers have dubbed the condition β€˜AI brain fry’ | CNN Business Part of the pitch for using AI at work goes like this: It’s like having a team of people to delegate your grunt work to, freeing you up to think strategically and maybe, just maybe, take a long lunch ...

My WoW guild did pretty awesome at a 10 man raid today, for a bunch of lousy stinkin' roleplayers. Teamwork and patience goes a long way.

D.C. Gears Up for First Ranked-Choice Election with Citywide Voter Education Effort Election officials and community groups are holding education campaigns ahead of Washington D.C.’s first use of ranked choice, with many focused on older and low-propensity voters.

Supporters of ranked-choice voting say it can help avoid outcomes where a candidate wins without a majority of voter support. In 2022, a winning D.C. City Council candidate mustered just over 25 percent of the vote.

I'm feeling brave enough to turn on my camera this week, so those of you who are coming, prepare to see my smiling, eyebrow-less face!

Lurking is a good way to see what we're about. There's no pressure to attend weekly or ever again. If you don't want to attend (or can't) but do want someone to regularly send you the notes and "Weekly Wave" (a small action to improve a situation), please let me know; I'll hook you up with someone.

New faces absolutely welcome. If you're shy, you can always just kind of slip in with camera/mic off - I'll pretend you're not even there (unless your mic is not muted and I can hear background noise, then I will ask you to mute it).

Today is the day for the Make Things Better virtual meeting, and today we have a personal safety tip to practice in These Times. Link will go up a half hour in advance of the meeting, at the bottom of my pinned thread, which also contains full details about the meetings in general. Repost at will!

Are you a "high-risk/high-reward" kind of player, or do you like to play it safe? And more importantly, how do you Prosper when your teammates can tank the whole game? 🀯

It's not just about strategy, it's working together to make sure you have each other's backs...with a little help from dragons. πŸ‰
