Nothing makes me pull my (meager) alumni giving faster than finding out my alma mater is now launching a "masters in AI in business." What in the word salad is that?

One criteria in our search for a farm is "can we get our kid to school from the farm via ebike?" Life is too short to spend hours every day in a car line.

My husband works for one of the nation's largest non-profit hospital system. I texted him this JAMA article 15 minutes before his town hall today, where they announced they're bringing in Deloitte 🙃. It's their 3rd reorg in 4 years.

Recently publiyJAMA article showing hiring of management consultants by non-profit hospitals does not improve finances, operational metrics or patience outcomes.

I interview 30 sharks a day for the position of shark tank shark. I always offer them the chance to get some chum from the vending machine. There is no job. There is no shark tank. But guess who owns the chum vending machine? (This is what most LinkedIn posts sound like to me).

All people want is enough money to live, a small garden, a green path to walk down, a friendly corner bakery, and a working public transport system. It's not that hard.

I am constantly afraid of losing my ability to write, and all of the research on AI shows cognitive declines are real. Why would I give up my only God-given talent in this entire world while training my replacement and accelerating climate change? Fuck all the way off with this noise.

The teen who works on my farm is getting her associates degree in a program with many nursing students. Apparently her peers are using chatGPT for all their homework and exams, which are mainly done online. I'm deeply concerned about how this affects care in a few years.

At a recent protest, the local TP chapter showed up to interview people but wouldn't say who they were w/, so people thought they were giving interviews to legit media. Husb & I spent two hours following them around, singing "This Little Light Of Mine" and ruining their audio. 10/10 recommend.

Besides being funny all by itself, the deposition is a great example of AI brain rot. The DOGE bro is plainly an otherwise (relatively) capable and intelligent person. But because he just cribbed his instructions from the EO while working and never internalized it, he can’t actually explain it now.
