ROFL nobody had any difficulty following the intent of the crappy McDonald’s slop commercials. It has nothing to do with clarity of intent.

Sorry if I post this again, but: this is the best post about AI slop you are going to read in the next 2 years.

Have to admit I’m pretty entertained.

@eduleadership Meanwhile I watched a huge portion of social media come up with their own ideas about how immunity works less than a decade ago lol

@eduleadership Advanced abstract topics are often more about exploration and less about whys - because you’re long past building blocks and moving into the less explored spaces of creativity and innovation.

@eduleadership Alternatively, why something is useful to know could be the opening piece of every education segment. It shouldn’t be a hard question to answer, especially if it’s a building block.

@eduleadership Or what body processes would be impacted by a deficiency in nutrient Y

@eduleadership In bioscience, the difference between memorizing and regurgitating body part names versus figuring out what movement would be impacted by an injury to X tendon.

PEPFAR is one of the most popular, bipartisan US foreign aid programs. The State Department says it has saved 25million lives, but there isn't much public, independent verification. Last week I invited some friends to a weekend hackatjon to see if PEPFAR's numbers held up.

Do water filters actually do anything? We CT scanned several popular water filters before and after use to see what they’re able to keep out of your body. Here’s what we found… 🧵

Nothing will radicalize a "Blue Dog" Democrat as much as the Building Permit process...

Hello, is Bob around?

No. Bob retired. I'm the new Building Inspector.

Oh, that's too bad. Bob helped me build an addition. He'd help on the weekends then have a couple beers.

We're currently observing a massive surge in sign-ups for @ProtonVPN originating in the U.S.

Typically, we see such spikes from countries with unstable governments facing internet shutdowns, meaning this is an anomaly.

1/ Here’s a story about how journalism works.

Spoiler Alert: This is how we decide *not* to publish.

We were recently looking at Pete Hegesth’s different statements over the years about West Point, where he has said he was admitted.

First stop: West Point.

And if you find you’re just over it at some point, go make a new one and redo your documentation just like if you were changing your Wallet Name.

Happy adulting and make sure your vote counts! 6/6

[Panic! at the Discourse @angyl]

My suggestion for young people re: signatures.

You know how you have a “wallet name” that might have little to do with what people call you in everyday life?

You actually have a full Walletsona that goes with it. 1/

If you don’t have a card with your Official Signature on it, make one by cutting up an index card, signing it, laminating it, and keeping it with your Official Stuff that you dig up when you need it. 5/
