Every single layoff in every single headline is financially unnecessary. Making vast troves of money is a springboard to making vast troves of money more through layoffs. This trash is catnip to capital.

Google’s actual paid commercial for its own ai product has a child new to soccer asking how many ways there are to kick a ball. The advertised software responds with a physics lesson.

The longest 5 minutes of my daughter’s life were the 5 minutes of injury stoppage immediately after I told her, “we’ll make ice cream sundaes at halftime.”

One of my favorite pastoral activities is a weekly prayer time at the church thrift store lifting up community needs. Today someone gave thanks for seeing a summer tanager for the first time, and I am still carrying the abundant joy of that small blessing.

Tried the 84-0 game. If this roster is still 3 wins away from perfect what does a perfect season look like?

84-0 NHL game with the greatest offense in the history of the league backstopped by the greatest goalie in the history of the league. 81-3 end result.

I’m starting to lean towards thinking maybe Buffalo should have traded Rasmus Ristolainen for Nikolaj Ehlers after all. But, you can’t teach size, so it’s a tough one.

Not nearly enough is being made of the fact that it’s *Stan Bowman* trying to hire Mike Babcock. Of course it is. The man didn’t consider it worth his full effort to protect his players from sexual abuse; of course he isn’t taking verbal abuse seriously. “Lessons learned”

The particular distrust required for constant AI detection deeply disturbs the trust that constitutes an effective student-teacher relationship. So as much as possible I take Lewis' approach. But students today see a choice between (hard) free work and no work. A far less staggering calculus is made

Common knowledge that World Vision and some other orgs operate with extremely high overhead; a small fraction of donations make it to the field. I certainly did not know this: the first 6-12 months of that $39 donation covering nothing but the band/label/pRiVaTe EqUiTy(!!!) promoters’ fees.

The complaint alleges that charities such as World Vision pay musicians between $200 and $500 for each new sponsor who signs up at a concert.

The joy does not fit in words of stopping on the way to preschool to look at birds. The 5yr old took the lead with a small pair of binoculars, while I IDed birds she didn't know and tried to just see what she saw. Geese are beautiful! Tadpoles are a thrill! Why is poop white??!?
