HELLO, FRIENDS!
The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.
The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Every so often there's a story about polling that breaks through as though it is some immutable insight into fixed values, rather than a reflection of what people with power and influence are willing and unwilling to push for. The answer is not abandoning policy but doing politics in defense of it.

Alt text added. When I’m teaching my students about transcription, I note that it’s usual to remove verbal clutter and when it’s left in, it’s often a sign that the writer wants you to regard the speaker with disrespect. Not great!

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

This! People are using LLMs to check whether work is produced by LLMs and the tech cannot do this! It’s the same tech that will confidently tell you to put glue on your pizza.
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

Exactly this. "I'll vote for whichever candidate has a D next to their name no matter what their actual policy positions are!" sends a message to the politicians that they don't need to care about what you want at all. It's wild that people keep volunteering their unconditional support.
It's like sitting down in a negotiation and telling the person you're trying to get something out of that you're going to agree to the deal, regardless of what they put on the table. Even if that were true, it is obviously a bad idea to tell them that!

I’ve been getting colonoscopies covered by insurance since my early forties and all I had to do was *checks notes* be hospitalized for almost a week with an inflamed digestive system and uncertain diagnosis. It shouldn’t take that to get good preventative care.
