This is now my favorite office art ever. Amazing.
Not sure what made me do it. But thanks to #veronicavolk recorded @evandawson1.bsky.social going on about WXXI being like an almond croissant, I just felt compelled to leave a random note for the team there on my way home.

Alternatively, if you're going to use AI for a literature review: don't.
Not only does using it waste everyone else's time and resources, it defeats the entire purpose of conducting a review.

If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.

1) Finger Lakes wineries are already losing contracts to sell in Canada. Example: Lakewood Vineyards on Seneca, which signed a deal just three weeks ago.
Lakewood's Chad Hendrickson: "It’s a big deal. We should be growing, not damaging. I’m not really sure how we’re going to recover from this."

Cool story alert:
This appears to be the first time in NYS history that five brothers have started a varsity basketball game.
The boys are all named after famous BASEBALL players! Tyrus, Teddy, Denton, Gehrig, and Mickey.
The Peters boys won their minutes 5-4.

Hi. It's me. How nice of someone to impersonate me on here before I even signed up. Please know that whoever is at @evandawson on Blue Sky is not me.
Not sure how I feel about this platform. I'm not a fan of epistemic bubbles. I also don't love X's porn and general terribleness. So we'll see!
