Weird how we have all kinds of laws against practicing therapy without a license but it's apparently fine if it's done by a billionaire's lake-poisoning proxy robot
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.

There is something to be said for empowering people, but a lot of "national" training culture when I hit my professional stride was about how you just had to BELIEVE and DO THE WORK and it didn't matter how hostile the territory, organizing could do it if you were a true believer.

I am never going to talk about permitting reform again without bringing up the “trump bottleneck” 😎🔥🔥🔥
Exclusive: I have learned that any energy permitting deal struck this Congress will have to address Trump’s solar and wind energy bottleneck or else it will never become law.
This comes as the main solar industry group is staying silent on a GOP-led deal moving through the House.

I drink but so many friends don’t (for a whole bunch of reasons). I always have pop and sparkling waters for them. I also started buy capri suns. They work for kids at the events *and* are a great nostalgia drink for the adults. It’s been a hit!
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!
