Last year, Sainsbury's awarded me the dubious honour of being the 6th biggest buyer of Double Deckers in my town. My main objective this year isn't career progression or personal happiness, it's to be in the top 3 buyers of Double Deckers in my town.

We hyphenate modifiers for clarity.

A "large-animal veterinarian" might be different from a "large animal veterinarian."

You do not need a hyphen after an ‘ly’ adverb.

For example, it’s a "closely watched news story" not a "closely-watched news story."

Sometimes you take a beloved hoodie out of your public rotation and move it into your pajama rotation, and that’s a very solemn moment in the lifecycle of an introvert

Did you know each paperback has a TWIN?

They’re printed in pairs then separated at the end of the process (see photo below for mine)

So the paperback you’re reading now has a twin, somewhere in the world. A connection to another reader we’ll never know.

I think that’s magical!

@silverpebble I often have one napping on my ‘lawn’ (it’s rewilded itself) and s/he came closer to say hello yesterday!

I have not heard this discussed much, but this point is spot on. Colleges and universities cannot sell themselves as bastions of environmental sustainability while also encouraging students and faculty to see ChatGPT as a learning tool they should integrate into their work.

“Every wind turbine we put up, every solar panel we install, every piece of grid we construct protects families from future energy shocks.”

Watch Energy Secretary @Ed_Miliband reflect on the challenges and opportunities of the clean energy transition.

Had a research session where we both saw in real-time that AI generates false citations for non-existing articles. Y'all better go to the library, find a library worker, and stop playing around with AI.
