This literally looks like fucking shit. I’m not just saying that because I think he’s a sickening pedophile rapist who smells horrible. It legitimately looks like it was decorated by a demented moron. I pray the reaper comes for him immediately.

There are many reasons to opposed GenAI and LLMs(see quote below) but here are the three I believe every business should be guided by:

1. They do not work as advertised
2. They impact the ability to think and reduce understanding of business processes
3. They're opaque and easy to manipulate

“They were careless people,” Fitzgerald wrote, “they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Devastating news. Teen Vogue has been such an important source of news in the last few years.

This describes nearly all of my family of some of my husbands. There are a few just mean terrible humans, but most of them are generous, loving, kind people who are deeply misinformed.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Growing up on base did not prepare me for the racism I discovered, including within my own family, once my parents left the service. I am so grateful for the time I spent living and going to school on US military bases.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

1. We do not know the motive of the shooter. The man who shot at Trump was after attention.
2. The man who murdered MN legislators WAS motivated by politics, and I didn’t hear any Dems calling for reprisals against all Repubs.
3. It’s easy to start a cycle of violence. Not easy to end one.

Opinion | Stop Acting Like This Is Normal

As others have said, this is a great Ezra Klein piece on why the Democrats need to take drastic action and stop funding the government (gift link).

Yes, other people made the argument long ago, but we have to focus on fixing things and not who gets credit for it.
