At dinner it came out that one of the high school friends who is at our house a lot has an uncle in a band none of the kids had heard of called "The Shins" and his uncle is James Mercer and I'm still sort of losing my mind over the whole thing

Student journalists at Cornell doggedly pursued the frat house sexual assault case for years, even as the Cornell administration at the highest levels was using all its authority to quash and cover up any inquiries.

On what would have been his 102nd birthday, I’m thinking of President Jimmy Carter. As a patriot, a humanitarian, and a leader who centered human rights, he embodied what it means to make your faith come alive through public service. His legacy will long outlive us all.

Not gonna flame out on anyone over this, but AI in the public sphere has *always* been nothing but branding. In academia, AI has always been a paradigm of self learning that is beyond *anything* in the current market. So call it AI, call it SI - either way the terminology is pure marketing

The hens have been pecking each other a little too much, so I ran out yesterday before the noreaster and grabbed a bale of straw. Dumped a bunch of nuts seeds and worms on top and punched it all inside with a shovelling fork and viola - weekend entertainment! #chickens
