This reminds me how easy it is to talk to kids if you just try. Do their hair and have a conversation. I do it in the car and on our walks. You can literally just talk to them.
And for those of us who don't have models of what that looks like, tell them the things you wish the adults had told you.

The last song I heard as I was leaving the grocery store, a store I don't usually shop at, was "I Should Be So Lucky" by Kylie Minogue, which I probably have not heard since about 1989.

I always take these opportunities to make it worse by saying stuff like if you subtract the number of years I've been alive from my birth year, it's 1935 😎

I know very few people who think the cost of public transit is prohibitive.
It’s that public transit in the US is treated in most cities like the thing you slap on after the fact.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Are you using AI, as a professional? Check your insurance cover, because a lot of the big insurers are about to pull out of insuring it. Which means that if you let it write your stuff or control your operations, you are potentially personally liable for its errors...
“Insurers increasingly view AI models’ outputs as too unpredictable and opaque to insure, said Dennis Bertram, head of cyber insurance for Europe at Mosaic. “It’s too much of a black box.”
