Day after the midterm election, I saw a house with all sorts of menacing horror figures out front from Halloween, now proudly holding a very large American flag. It sure did send a message, lol.

Lol, and somehow they're always responding to an X link that they screenshoted.

No, but only because I've helped run a website recently and you underestimate just how much wasted traffic is from scrapper bots. On our limited bandwidth, it was practically a DDOS attack all the time.

A bit of a nothingburger story because shit just hasn't changed. It was a 10 point margin a week ago at 74% counted and like 9.5 point margin at 75% counted. AP won't call it because that missing 25% is a few million votes.

And trust me I've checked every day, it's just really slow and uninteresting until it's counted. I'm not hopeful of course, but seeing Prop 42 (which worries me more) go from 8 point margin to 5 gives me pause at the very least.

They're fine. We talk about cooking before class on occasion and my students tend to be pretty on top of that, and baking. This is especially true of women who take care of their siblings. Honestly, it's on par for the age, but there is one more unique aspect and that's reliance on Tiktok or IG for recipes.

That means that I'll sometimes run into people who love cooking but they're often making what's popular at the time. But... my cohort, millennials, aren't too different in using our online recipes. They're just a little less... creative, compared to what you see on Tiktok. Plus, video format is trash for cooking, but that's my own opinion.

I love how comments on this post here vs the women's space kind of shows why there's a woman's space. Lol

To be honest, so do mine. The giveaway is when the formatting is horrible and it's a . notes file, plus I've asked them about it. My current guess is a lack of typing skill, but that's concerning none the less.

Oddly, give it a year. They made so much more money off the online part that they practically (and literally on Epic) made GTAV free. Then we both get to try it for cheap.

Probably not too far off at this rate... I'm watching billboards light up from people's headlights. It's only a matter of time.

The number of Gen Z students who write term papers on their phones (not even tablets!) is alarming to me. It's like 30% of them in my class. Their thoughts aren't necessarily bad, and I grade them seriously, but yikes-- the formatting!

God I wish pro-mask had the support of anti-AI. COVID would have died out before it got out of control with 90% people taking it seriously.

Don't use AI, but I'll say that isn't a bad analogy given they always give the most average answer and in House, it's usually wrong because House solves mystery cases.

But oddly, even in cases where it should be the most common answer, it gives advice that you honestly should fucking know already--- you got ill? Fucking rest and drink liquids and see a doctor if things get bad. Don't need AI for that, lol.
