I keep thinking about how I joked in college that eventually, it'd be like THE BANK, THE TV CHANNEL, THE CHURCH. That was like 25+ years ago.
WSJ: “David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he’d make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump’s ire. Trump has told people close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN as well as changes to CNN programming”

This morning I spent time looking up citations for a student. By the time I got to the third (with zero results), I asked where they got the list, and the student admitted they were from Google’s AI summary.

This video doesn't even make sense. Even this opening bit is silly. I couldn't see Dutch people doing stuff like this.
Anyway, it gives me the creeps AND I look forward to someone or some people who will take this frame by frame and scrutinize how weird it is.

I wish there was more patient education on vaccines in general. It's OK if you feel bad sometimes if you get a vaccine. It's just your immune system's dry run or dress rehearsal for a real attack.
Maybe it's because we get so many vaccines as babies and toddlers (thank God) we forget how it can be

I get my butt kicked after every covid shot and 1/3 of flu shots, but that are ONE MILLION PERCENT MORE PLEASANT THAN COVID OR THE FLU.
I gather the trade off with shingles is about another million percent more.
I gather the trade off with shingles is about another million percent more.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)

The pap would be my dad (I think?). I'm looking at the camera while my mom is holding my arm (not my hand, interesting) and looking where she is walking. I look like my dad a lot in that pic.
I'd share what looks like a paparazzi pic of my mom and me when I was a toddler, but we live in an AI age so I won't. We can't figure out what she wrote on the back.
My narcissistic dad didn't like when my mom braided my hair (because tenderheaded) so I have a *to me* ugly haircut he gave me.

Big part of what happened was a conflation of bigotry with authenticity, people refused to believe anyone could genuinely care about people outside of their immediate sphere of concern.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.
