This is bad for a variety of reasons, but those adults who will be employed alongside children have a precarious position. In food service, e.g. frozen dessert retail, it is common to treat the operation as a "great first job", though actual business operations need to be done by adults.

Im listening to a podcast ep about AI usage and the guest is saying he completely understands why people refuse to use it out of fear because he shares the same fears, and it's just so weird to me that it's never ever acknowledged that some people don't use it not because they're afraid but because it just holds no appeal. There are things I'm sure learning models are very useful for but none of them have anything to do with me. Yes I'm a bit of a ludite but I completely failed to resist the lure of the phone, or social media, I've never used chatgpt because I have just never wanted to. I feel like the entire debate is instantly reframed once you acknowledge that it's not a necessary service that people either work to resist or avoid out of fear. For most people it's just an online tool, and for me and I know for lots of others too it's just not that important.

Lucy in 1996 on 'Rosie'. They talked about Rosie playing Rizzo from Grease on Broadway about a year or so before Lucy herself starred in the role. I love Lucy's singing here. I've probably watched this a couple of hundred times over the years. Hard to believe... 1996, when three of my very favorite shows ever were gracing the airwaves... and they are STILL three of my favorite shows. And two of the women from those shows are the only women I ever had a real "butterflies-in-your- stomach, what am I fourteen years old?" crushes on. Ironically, both with the initials L.L.

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

Fandom is not social media.

some of you are so fucking talented and you’re using it to spread joy and happiness around for free

"The Montana court separately declared that transgender people constitute a suspect class under the state's equal protection clause. In legal terms, a suspect class is a group that has historically faced such severe discrimination that any law targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny to survive—the same standard applied to laws that discriminate on the basis of race. [...] The practical effect is sweeping: any Montana law that singles out transgender people will now face strict scrutiny, meaning the state must prove the law serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve it—a standard that laws almost never survive.

!!!!!!!!

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work

Update: The Utah book ban has, in fact, resulted in the Bible being banned in elementary and middle schools in Davis County, and high schoolers now only have limited access to the King James Version, due to “vulgarity and violence.” 

Go. Read his stuff. Right now.
