Thread.

I attended many creative writing classes and it blows my mind to know this, because in my experience we are always excited to be in that class. That's the class that betters our day.
We're seeing possibly the worst attendance in history. Even in creative writing classes, where students generally want to participate and have their voice heard--they're not showing up, ignoring guidelines and feedback, and either describing expectations as "unclear" or simply refusing to comply.

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

A Google software engineer won his battle against MetLife to receive disability benefits for Long Covid.

This is huge

Long Covid has a lot of stigma attached to it and it can be hard to get disability.

You’re told to “try harder”.

It’s “not that bad”.

You can “still work”.

Not everyone can

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Medical personnel should also understand that the typical pain scale is useless to chronic pain patients. Our 10 (the worst pain we've ever experienced) is just a record that can be broken at any moment any day, and we rarely experience a moment under what you might call a 5/10 pain.

Before you attend a gathering

be sure to ask
what you can bring
as you would not want
to show up carrying nothing.

As I made my way
through the grocery store
I was not surprised to see
they were running low
on potatoes and green beans
on turkeys and cranberries
and as I made my way
past the pharmacy section
I saw they were running low
on Covid/Flu tests
which sadly
did not surprise me either.

GASP! 😆😂

My controversial dessert take is that pies are better than cakes.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.
