This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

So I went to the gym today. I live in TX so of course Fox News was the main channel for news that was on.

The one headline I saw before turning my head to the tv that had HGTV on was.

Greta Thunberg grounded. Infantilizing while supporting a genocide.

Le sigh.

This meta-analysis goes against the common narrative.

"Results indicate that ChatGPT has a large positive impact on improving learning performance (g = 0.867) and a moderately positive impact on enhancing learning perception (g = 0.456) and fostering higher-order thinking (g = 0.457)."

If you spread false information I will unfollow you.

ChatGPT can absolutely search the Internet. It is not only a predictive language model. It has changed so much in the little more than 2 years it's been out. Yes hallucinations still happen.

It was dangerous to alert me that this Nelko label printer was $15 so now I'm printing labels everything in my house including my bookshelf.

I'm making each icon in ChatGPT, then adding the image to the label, and then printing them for my bookshelf.

I'm in love with labeling things.

I have zero clue what this movie was called but does anyone remember the awful rich man who was cursed with being homeless for a month and learned compassion? If curses were real we have a large sector of society that needs this lesson.

I have done biomedical research for the past few years. I grad in Dec and have been job searching since. I have an incredible GPA, multiple publications, and have experience teaching secondary and college level. I wanted to go industry.

I can't find a job and I can't find anything else to apply for

The forced confessions and torture remind me so much of the Spanish Inquisition. Human rights violations at every turn.

I'm providing a bypass link beyond the paywall because this is too important to gatekeep.

In life ALWAYS shoot your friggin shot. And if someone doesn’t respond right away, remind them in a little while. Everything good I’ve ever gotten in life came from asking. Squeeze under the door like a hardy little cockroach and dazzle those fools.

Went to Fort Worth today to visit a friend and stopped in to the Kimbell which was absolutely gorgeous to look at the "Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910-1945. Here are a few of my favorite pieces.

Some kitties to lighten your load and brighten your feed. Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Head to bed. We can't solve all the world's problems by doom scrolling but you can make an impact by taking care of yourself and those around you.
