Happy puffin sweater season to those who celebrate

OpenAI, the company whose ChatGPT tool helped spark chatbot cheating, wants to embed A.I. in every facet of university life. Here's what the company told me about its plans to conquer campuses. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/technology/chatgpt-openai-colleges.html

Post-mow patio time with the dog friends

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

New to knitting (or know someone who is)? I’ve put together a video tutorial that covers everything you need to get started. It’s a great resource for #beginnerknitter or anyone needing a refresher: youtu.be/f3xQ90TFhyc Tag a friend who’s ready to pick up the needles! 👇 #Knitsky #knittingtips

Anyone know what kind of tree this is?

Slow morning

Twitter was at its best when Game of Thrones was at its peak

Hey so my oldest kid just drove alone for the first time after getting her license this weekend and I'm currently disassembling their childhood clubhouse they built with their dad so don't mind me weeping with a crowbar 😭

When the kitties rule the roost

Happy pride! ✌🏻

Morning walkies

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

Okay… this is amazing

I'm laying in bed watching moonlight come through the slats in the blinds while my fan spins and it looks like an old timey black and white gangster movie scene in the detective's office at night. I'm very high right now.

Interesting post on the declind of work happy hours. “'Why would you drink with co-workers when you could hang out with your friends or family, anyway?'” slate.com/life/2025/05...

She did it again tonight! This is her new go to sleep spot.

Evening garden meditations

You can think about what others think about you and have whatever emotions you want, but know who you are and believe in it and have rigorous reasons for doing so, loving your friends and those closest to you is the only counterbalance to being a gigantic hater.

Got up, turned around, and found Purl laying like this.

Kale stem time. Best time of the day 🤌🏻

Took my 15 yr old and her friend to a concert in Seattle. Audiobook and knitting through this. 😂

Even after @jaketapper.bsky.social's new book, people are claiming they had no idea Joe Biden's condition was so bad. But SNL was never fooled - they had been pointing it out for years. Here are the receipts: www.anti-knowledge.com/p/snl-knew-a...

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out. Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it. This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights. Take it here:

I'd like to think of "dark academia" as "I, a brooding professor who wears all black, have [these clothes] on while I send many emails and update Canvas assignment due dates"

CHEERS: 🎶 making your way in the world today takes everything you got ME: already in tears

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Teacher Asks What First Graders Want To Be Once Child Labor Laws Repealed

When mask mandates were enacted to try and save lives, the right screamed about freedom. When mask bans were passed? They celebrated. Because it’s not about freedom. With vaccine mandates, they screamed about autonomy. When vaccines get restricted, they cheer. Because it’s not about autonomy.

In case you're wondering how exciting my life is I my husband just said "want to watch that new Yellowstone volcano documentary?" and I replied "omg yes obviously! Let me go get four ibuprofen and my heating pad. I'll be right there!"

Me, hitting on a Salvadoran baddie: “So like, is there a MR-13 or…”

I've been married 19 yrs & most of my conversations w/my husband sound like: So do you want to go [loud exhale] Yeah no I get it It's just Right Ugh I know But maybe I mean tomorrow? There's the Oh right Uh... It's fine But like Yeah no Okay I could go for Ice cream? Yeah but from They're open

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Spent the weekend landscaping. Enjoy some before and after goodness ✌🏻

My kids and I have an arrangement where I'm allowed to participate in conversations with their friends as long as I get out if I feel a 'back in my day' coming on.
