Give a man a fish, and Republicans immediately blame you for inflation. Teach a man to fish, and they call you a woke Marxist and pass a law banning Fishing Studies.

THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS GETTING SHOT ANYWHERE WE GO.

We had a good run in this house, helped by our locale and our eager and often vaccination philosophy, but #COVID has finally arrived. All are well enough. The children are functionally asymptomatic. I remain negative, in a bit of a live test of the efficacy of the #bivalent booster.

As per usual, great article from Daniel Willingham on the science of learning, why it is not intuitive, and how it must/should be taught. I wish more education preparation programs incorporated research on the science of learning. I'd love to teach a course like that at the UNC School of Education.

@molly0xfff I wonder if there’s a better idiom to use in this instance?

85 years ago.

In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.

He also suggested that man-made CO₂ emissions had caused around half of the observed warming.

85 years ago.

My daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:

Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:
When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"
If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!
But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.
It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

@scerruti Is it a trend if it’s been happening since the mid-90’s? At what point does it just become “we lost the ability…”?

@unklar I mean… why?

Now watch how the #GOP will continue to suggest that the healthy indictment of a former President for possible crimes committed is a symptom of a failed democracy, while the actions of the #tennessee legislature to oust duly elected representatives for participating in non-violent action against gun violence is no big deal at all.
