The #ExecutiveFunctionTheft of having to opt out.
Feeling annoyed at the cognitive cost of having to dismiss all the offers of "AI" assitance every time I use Acrobat to provide feedback on documents my students wrote. (NO I do NOT want an "AI" summary of this. In what world???)

About 2.5 months into taking metformin and I'm *so annoyed* at some of my previous medical providers for not pushing or even recommending me to try it. Even at the low dose I'm on there have been significant changes and I'm very annoyed I've waited to get them address.

The negotiated rulemaking session on defining professional programs essentially just added clinical psychology to the bare minimum required by law, even though the law gives more leeway to include other programs. This will end up in court.

Ooof, I'm listening (or was listening) to an academic podcast that uses all sorts of acronyms, even while speaking! And, guess what? My brain can't track all of your acronyms because I don't have a paper to refer back to. Stop this! Just use the words!

"there should be no uncontested races" is a thing I'm seeing and I would like to invite every single person who says that to join their local Dem committee and run a race themselves.

one thing I love about modern UI design is the lack of error messages. Ideally, the user should have no idea why their app is malfunctioning or what they can do to fix it. this is how a phone asserts dominance.

Washington is "we need more area rugs" old, so we got two more this morning.
I donated $25 to our local food bank/food distributor.
I need to go feed the bird (again) while it's not pouring out.

I'm seeing a few of these convos, and once again I'm wishing our large items had learned how to host online conferences! Not only do I not have travel funds, I can't afford to get trapped somewhere - but online conferences mean we aren't reliant on an unstable government.
Just cancelled my flight to Denver on Tuesday for #ASHE - driving instead.
I don't trust I won't be stranded in Denver for a while and unable to get a rental car out.
I don't trust this administration has kept the airways safe. I had that issue before the shutdown, too, due to DOGE.
Road trip!

This sort of thing is proving the church's "once baptized, always Catholic" doctrine because I haven't been in a church except on Christmas in ten years but I still start vibrating when I hear this shit

Yes! Good tutoring isn't instruction, it's helping students figure out what they already know and problem solve from there, sometimes using instructional materials (textbooks, recorded lectures, walk-through).
We shouldn’t treat tutoring and teaching as interchangeable concepts, right. Aren’t they different?
