At a restaurant with two gen alphas quietly sharing funny memes on their phone across from a table of boomers loudly sharing traumatic medical experiences and talking shit about every neighbor they ever had.

Like, hear me out, maybe phones make people better at socializing.

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

Nature vs nurture.

In a purely capitalist society with as tight of a grip as this one has, we are too overcome by outside oppression to even allow for human instinct to prevail.

An avalanche of loopy supernatural shenanigans, interpretive dances, and all the snake-related imagery you could ever want. The film warns you repeatedly about the evil of idolatry, but how are you supposed to not worship Snake Queen Suzzanna as she flies through the sky in her solid gold carriage?

Children are not unfinished adults, we are all individual humans on a timeline, with individual needs and tastes. And there has been no point in your life when you didn’t deserve the very best books that the publishing industry could provide.

My experience with getting baby and family vacation photos to a similar relative is to gift them physical photos in an album. Go to the drug store. Print fav photos. Put them in a pretty book. It will mean the world to them.
You can’t make them tech savvy but you can give them a gift they cherish.
