Wait, do I feel bad for Notre Dame? What in god’s name is going on around here? Congratulations selection committee, I will never forgive you for making me experience that emotion

I’m not someone who takes “joy” in teams other than Michigan winning. I appreciate good teams and so I definitely appreciate what Indiana did yesterday.
That said, while I don’t necessarily care, them beating Ohio State by *that* score is objectively funny

Success! A young Millenial coworker had never heard it. She tried to “get me back” by asking about this which I had heard before:

1st, yes, I probably could help you set up your [insert home electronics device] but I don’t want to do it any more than you do

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

Perfect encapsulation of my current headspace as a Michigan fan
It's trite but the cool thing about CFB is it's the only sport in the world where Michigan fans could feel considerably worse this week (9-3 team, pretty good track, could make the playoff again next year) than they did the same week last year (abominable team, hard to watch, beat OSU)

One of the fundamentals of learning to be an engineer boils down to “Trust no one. Verify everything.”
The majority of engineers I work with have a healthy distrust of AI because of that mindset.
The majority of engineers I work with have a healthy distrust of AI because of that mindset.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

5w ago the supply line to my toilet failed between me leaving for work at 730 AM and getting home ~9 PM. It was raining in my basement and flooded. My only full bath is currently gutted. This is my dining room with salvaged items. So yes, what this represents probably killed me from stress
