ZOTERO HAS A FUNCTION THAT AUTOMATICALLY FIXES THE TITLE CASE??????????????????????????????????????????????????? WHAT?????????????????? YEARS OF MY LIFE BACK!
When one does a scholarly review and it is clear that at least some of it is fabricated (wo acknowledgement), is it a BAD idea to point out flaws? For example, they didn't report the standard deviations or a particular statistical test wasn't the right choice, and a different one would be better.
Kids were watching the new Danger Mouse on Netflix. So then they stumbled upon the old one. It is super racist. I was trying to think about a term for this - when the revamped version opens up to the problematic old version...
What's the origin of kids saying 'let's go' nowadays? I'm sure it is a content creator but...
I DID THREE REVIEWS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I think I'd be making a Jimothy cake? No. But here we are.
I got my kid a GoPro knock off for his birthday. I'm asking chatgpt to help me make an age appropriate manual. Why does chatgpt think my child is named Jimothy? (Probably because I was asking about making a Jimothy themed cake?)
I watched episode one of Little House, mostly to vet it for my kids watching it with me. This review was perfect to explain the complexities. www.vulture.com/article/litt...

A new adaptation of the Laura Ingalls Wilder series punctures the fantasy.

I'm grabbing moral panic news clippings. Oh, 1990! "Women have come a long, long way"

Ben Folds Five Releasing Shelved First Attempt At Debut Album For Its 30th Anniversary: Hear Their Original "Underground"
Ben Folds Five released their self-titled debut album back in 1995, introducing the trio’s distinctive sarcastic/saccharine, raw/technical Gen X piano-rock sound on compact theatrical epics like “Phil...

I've been thinking about how nowadays singers have to have some backstory to every song... Like that there are Easter eggs for us. Now Madonna is doing it.
Just an FYI to real folks - I seem to be experiencing a bit of a burst of impersonating social media accounts out there. Please be cautious if you get a friend/follow request or message from (fake) me. Sigh.
Never trust chatgpt foe information about where to view fireworks.
I cannot be the only person who says to themselves "JSON DeRulo" whenever dealing with a JSON file, right?
Can ANYONE successfully open a journal article in 2026?
At kid orthodontist office. They always have a LOUD playlist of tween friendly pop music. I've always been impressed at the list - songs that aren't horribly annoying for adults but aren't explicitly for kids. Today I heard Silk Shiffon on this playlist. Did the algorithm pick up on roller skates?
Has anyone written about how now Trader Joe's does a lot of trend chasing?
I asked ChatGPT to make something like this for my class to make a point. I was impressed!
I have Meta glasses. I rarely use them. But I did use them last weekend to go tide pooling. That is a good use case - videoing cool stuff. But why does my Meta AI app constantly give me misinformation? None of these are true AND no sources either. Wtf? Loosely based on stuff I've done on FB/IG.
I'm reading through this: Müasir Azərbaycan ailəsi: Analitik hesabat (Birinci buraxılış). Bakı: Sosial Tədqiqatlar Mərkəzi. I was intrigued with how Azerbaijanis met their spouse - family/relatives: 53.3%; workplace: 10.1%; school/uni: 9.4%; neighbors: 6.0%; friends: 5.7%; internet: 0.5%.

Wow! I had no idea that feeding newborns something other than breastmilk was THIS common in Azerbaijan. (Azerbaijan, UNICEF, 2023 data) mics.unicef.org/sites/mics/f...
