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.

New policy: no sleeping unless the hands are held.

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)."

Wisdom and Perrin (cats) would like you to sign this petition for more seasons of Wheel of Time. actionnetwork.org/letters/help...

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.

" We have the right to go out and put together a sandwich and have it not kill us. That's a fundamental right, and the country is stronger when that right is in place." from the woman who literally wrote the book on food safety in the US: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

the richest, most powerful man in the world is the kid in the school cafeteria who ate mustard packets for attention

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

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

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. txtify.it/www.theguard...

I listened to this episode yesterday and was inspired to draw a non-xenophobic, pacifist snail lol

So excited for this episode to come out! Huge thank you to Alie and the whole @ologies.bsky.social team for helping promote knowledge weird medieval art! open.spotify.com/episode/3Dm8...

I’m still laughing at this one 😂😂😂😂

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.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

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.

Given to the same guy who wants to put those with neurodiversity into labor camps.

Current WIP! Wolf in front of some mountains, circled by runes. Eventually this’ll be part of a belt cincher thing for LARPing, ren faires, or just general goblin-esque nonsense.

If anyone has ever been to Hynafol I'd love to hear about it! I'm thinking about grabbing tickets to the Grand Gathering but would love insights before I do.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

Yes. This is what happened, and it’s shameful and cowardly.

I'm not religious, but there's something profound about Pope Francis, in his final days, standing up to our administration's cruelty. His moral clarity serves as a reminder that higher principles still guide us, even when leadership falters.

Made my sweet kittens this cat tree from Costco. They seem to like it.

Does anyone else feel like Thredup sells stuff for the price people originally paid? They do like 1/2 regular price but that's generally actual price in stores because of marketing schemes. And they pay those selling the clothes next to nothing. I want to like them but they seem like a scam.

This!! 💯

Just saw Sinners. That movie is amazing! Definitely my favorite movie I've seen this year.

I'm currently reading North is the Night by Emily Rath mostly because of her takes on tiktok re:MAGA, but also it's phenomenal. I'm not into sport romances so I hadn't read her before but I'm loving this so much.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

"After inspecting his birth certificate, Judge LaShawn Riggans said during the hearing that “this is indeed an authentic document,” but did not have jurisdiction beyond finding no probable cause for the charge." He is still being held. Let's hope he doesn't get disappeared like so many others.

I had ChatGPT make me into a doll. My only two prompts were a photo of me and to make me into an action figure and then the second to put me in a box with branding that suits me. ChatGPT may know too much about me.

I planted lavender in my front flower bed and now every single time I go out front it makes me happy. I'm really hoping that it will get enough sun to survive and that aerating the ground below it before I planted will give it good enough drainage.

I got likely 2 dozen notifications on my way home from the doctor appointment of stocks falling. Gives me so much confidence in the economy.

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

The difference, for those who need it spelled out, is that research papers are not how researchers make their living, and publicly funded research is often paywalled away by publishing cartels. Novels and nonfiction books are not publicly funded, which means for them to exist, you need to buy them

Studies terminated at NIH: -On reducing asthma from mold -On prenatal risks & screening -On statins influence on dementia -On the safety/risk of gender-affirming care -On how Covid vax outcomes & disparities -On improving HIV care -Training programs for the next generation of scientists

Got on LinkedIn today mostly cause I'm job searching and went through my feed for about 5 minutes. Story after story of grants being terminated. Medical research that not only builds our scientists of tomorrow but our understanding of medical issues.

We are appalled, but not surprised, by Condé Nast’s layoff of four union members last week, which marks the third time in less than a year that layoffs have impacted our union as well as many of our colleagues outside of the bargaining unit. (1/8)

"The point of statistical inference is not to produce the right answers with high frequency, but rather to *always* produce the inference best supported by the data at hand when combined with existing background knowledge and assumptions." —Aubrey Clayton, Bernoulli's Fallacy

Imagine the world if we spent less time “creating value” and more time building joy.

Absolutely dead serious: D&D nerds are exactly who you want doing this kind of work. Last year, in more optimistic times, I even wrote a little guide for DMs who want to get involved in local politics: Roll for Climate Initiative: A Dungeon Master’s Guide to Running for Local Public Office

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

This is how I spent my day recovering from my third of 6 RFAs.
