Looks like the winter training program I’m doing has trained an AI on its data to answer questions and honestly I think that’s for the best. The questions last year were mostly the same over and over and took a lot of time and energy for the coaches to keep answering.

Two years ago tonight we were setting up dumpster dived pink tents for migrants in the freezing cold and wind in the desert, they were held there for days without food water or shelter other than what we could share with them. That was the Biden admin, in case anyone thinks it was all good before.

My computer’s in the shop so I’m working on a typewriter today, so I can point out that em dashes and en dashes are typesetter marks, not writers’ tools. Double dash! It’s fine. Here’s the only em dash I know.

I bet fliers would be in a better mood if the Trump administration didn’t just rip away rules that make airlines compensate people for canceled and delayed flights.
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

I just wrapped up two projects with students working on automated license plate reader tech in the context of abortion and this is still more dystopian and horrific than anything we uncovered.

There are no ghosts. The universe is meaningless. But when I was 13, my grandmother died. At her funeral, my first, I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I was ashamed. That night, lying in bed, I thought about her, and a warm wind blew across my face. I turned to shut my window, but it was already shut.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”
