       So, seems introductions are part of the protocol here, and that's not a bad idea at all.I'm a middle aged gal, QC Engineer, love my cat and Padres and Orioles baseball.  I also enjoy writing, drawing, and needlework. And this is Lily!#introductions #cats #photos #Padres #Orioles #writing #drawing #needlework

       Addition to my intro post:  The sweet LilyMonster went to Kitty Valhalla in June of 2024.  I'd had her for 15 years and was more than a bit gutted.But at the end of July, we brought home these two handsome gentlemen - Sean (grey & white) and Jorge (solid grey) and they have been doing a wonderful job of filling my heart.

       @stux I feel like there is an entire generation that will not shudder upon seeing this.

       @stux They definitely show their colors on the spending side of things.  And when you consider that especially at the federal level here, money just isn't even real - it's just pixels on a screen.  We could do anything we wanted for the people - we just don't want to.(Oh, and let me tell you, when you work for a company that makes accounting software and say, "money isn't real" - that will really weird some people out, LOL.)

       @SwiftOnSecurity I would be sorely tempted to write back, "We pay for fucking people to answer us, not AI."

       @stux Congress & the courts are supposed to be the check on this.  But the Republicans are so far up Trump's ass they could perform a tonsillectomy and have just given all their power to him.  Top that off with an utterly corrupt SCOTUS, and everything is completely fucked.

       @seachanger MIT recently released a study on the long term cognitive effects of AI use.  (Spoiler: they're not good effects.)https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/

       @stux Why am I not even the slightest bit surprised?

       @fribbledom And in both cases, it's not long before someone is crying in a bathroom.

       @mullvadnet You're **choosing** to work together, which means whatever your CEO's may disagree on, it's obviously not a deal breaker.

       They're finally doing a study focusing on women with ADHD and how their menstrual cycle affects their ADHD and the efficacy of their meds.This could help so many.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czj8zp9e084o
