I will simply say I am seeing exactly this situation play out right now in a different field. Work that would have taken about 3 weeks start to finish via traditional methods is now into week 6 and still in what amounts to first draft territory

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

CDC offices "in Angola and South Sudan closed Thursday, with the office in Zimbabwe set to shut its doors at the end of the year. Current and former CDC officials told POLITICO they expect more than a dozen other foreign offices will follow in the next few years."

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

You should just be able to find your little niche in the world & stay there comfortably if it’s what makes you happy. That’s literally all being human is about. Just hanging out and doing something helpful. We made up all this other shit and it’s making everyone miserable, bc there’s no finish line.

7/ All that said, the flu is already starting to pick up unusually early this year, especially in the West. So I wouldn’t wait until October to think about it. If you haven’t gotten your flu vaccine yet, now is a good time to schedule it for maximum protection.

If you’re not opposed to giving Google the traffic, go search “fat bear week.” A little bear appears. On the right, there’s a button to feed him/her salmon and s/he fattens up! 🐻🐟

probably my favorite ever massachusetts memory is being drunk in boston with my then partner, and another drunk woman approaching me, screaming and hollering that i should not marry the guy from boston. she was right btw

like you apparently have to make some money to live in society but it turns out you don’t have to care about it and if you just read books and go on adventures the rest of the time nobody can really stop you? wild

Here, we could all use a vibe shift, so here’s a little hound puppy at the wedding reception last night. This is Teak. His ears are bigger than his head and I would die for him

Teak is being carried in a hoodie. He is a little treeing walker coonhound puppy. His head and big ol ears that are too big for his head are poking out of the top of the hoodie. He’ll grow into his ears someday 💜
