A timely safety reminder from Natalie Horberg 🤔 #roadsafety #drivinglaw

Cartoon of two women in car front seats. In front of them is a modern touch screen typical of modern cars. Caption is of the passenger saying to the driver "Remember it's illegal to use your phone while driving. Instead use the giant iPad built into the car".

New instance, and I need to test federation, so here's one of my favorite photos of Kaylan (who unfortunately passed away a few months ago). Tuning server processes, so feel free to boost to make it work a bit. #CatsOfMastodon

"LLM scores might help with the initial reviewing state, such as by helping identify the weakest proposals for fast-track desk rejections, to replace one human reviewer, or for triangulation to check for bias." This goes with that post about UKRI using AI in grant reviews arxiv.org/abs/2609.253...

Cloud keeps wrestling Cleo tonight, so i think we can say he's recovered from his surgery. Remember when I called him Count Chompula because he would hover as if wanting to bite her? he kept doing that and I had to remind him he don't have no teef now & to give it a rest before she womped him.

i really hate the way some people use the word "community" or the phrase "the community"--because there's always only one & it's super lazy. I guess it's the "society" (which used to drive me nuts in the 00s) of the 2020s.
