Our elementary school asked students to dress like their hero today, and my daughter asked for a press badge so she could be a reporter like her mom. My heart may never recover.

Women dressed as brides are at the Ohio Statehouse today to call on lawmakers to pass a bill banning marriage before the age of 18.

Ohio's Rep. @Jim_Jordan used a congressional hearing on Medicaid fraud allegations in Ohio to raise questions about a Somali-American Ohio legislator and businesses tied to a Columbus office building. Democrats called the hearing politically motivated. https://t.co/pMjD4dPZlh

@CarCarr5 @jpelzer Patient information isn't included in the publicly available data (for obvious reasons). The state will have to investigate whether people received care and what care they got.

@JayVingtSix It’s actually not that simple but it’s a longer conversation. You can email me, and I’d be happy to correspond about it.

[Anna Staver @AnnaStaver]

Super weird assumption. The Ohio press corps competes with each other and national outlets all the time. It’s a friendly competition. I’ve never been mad about someone covering something. There aren’t enough of us. More is always more when it comes to coverage.

[Brent Scher @BrentScher]

I’m here in Columbus, Ohio, where @lukerosiak is back on the ground and the local reporters who all ignored the issue are now finally covering Medicaid fraud.

They’re so mad, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

[Anna Staver @AnnaStaver]

@flora67OH Actually, it’s genuine befuddlement.

@JayVingtSix I think it would be cool to learn SQL but it’s not something you pickup overnight.

@JayVingtSix An obvious story inside of a dataset with 1.2 billion entries that requires programming knowledge to query that Luke said he spent two months digging through? That’s honestly your conclusion?

[Anna Staver @AnnaStaver]

@TheCrustyOldMan @mikedovilla @VivekGRamaswamy @KeithFaber @Rob_McColley @matthuffman1 Feel free to register your complaint with my corporate overlords. I would love to be able to query datasets.

[Anna Staver @AnnaStaver]

@CarCarr5 @jpelzer @BrentScher @lukerosiak Why would anyone from the Ohio press corps be mad? It makes no sense. We compete with each other and national outlets all the time. It is a super weird assumption.

[Anna Staver @AnnaStaver]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot too. If you already know how to write, how to research, how to structure an argument or an article or whatever it is you’re trying to do with AI, you have a much keener sense of when it’s wrong.

[Dr Juliette McIntyre @juliettemm]

I've just had a realisation that a lot of the pro AI crowd are kinda old and maybe don't realise they already developed enough expertise to use AI in a nuanced way (if they choose). If you're young and use it, you simply won't develop. Full stop.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled.

An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t.

‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’
