I still mask in public places. And vaccinate.

I've never had Covid. Flu a couple of times, but the vector was contaminated takeout food and family. Can't remember the last time I had a cold.

I also have asthma. Masking also minimizes irritant exposure that triggers an attack.

Thoughts on AI, and Why It Hurts (In writing another piece, I made a side comment about AI. That article isn't done yet, but the comment grew and grew until it was larger than the original piece and had to become its own article.

So, I wrote an article about how I feel about the current state of AI. It's, uh... Well, I'm not pulling punches here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/though...

Not everything needs AI. It has done amazing stuff in the area of scientific research and probably similar areas, but 99.9% of it is just hype and trash.

And don't get me started on ethical usage. That's a whole other conversation.

Nailed it. 🎯

I remember a screening for a job last year for a firm that was putting forth their own AI (probably white label product from another company). I asked what their product was trying solve. I think I literally broke the guy on the other end of the call. He couldn't answer the question.

I've never seen this. I'll have to find where to stream it (if I can).

Man... Peter Drinklage is so young there. Also, did I spy a young Michelle Williams in that trailer, too?

JFC!!

I was abused by my parents as a child. And I'm very frank about it, but I am the one who determines the narrative. The person who experienced it. Not some stranger.

If someone decided to introduce me to others headlining with that, I'd choose violence.

What an asshole.

He thinks asylum seekers come from insane asylums. So, not surprising.

I'll have to have a listen when I'm not already in bed and about to go to sleep. Saved for later.

I feel this in my bones. No matter how much I work on phrasing and tone, it still misses the mark at times. A lot of times, I'm just asking for clarification so I don't misinterpret even though the urge to correct is there.

Like I said, can't relate to ADHD experience. I've seen those that I suspect have ADHD, but it’s never something I just outright would suggest they get tested for. Unless it's family.

(If you really want to talk about a whacked combo, my level of spicy is Autism and OCD.)

11.03.2026 02:07 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I would if it were a good friend.

Because they'd seen it suggested before and I brushed it off, they just never bothered saying anything. That's the reason more than anything.

As far as ADHD, can't really relate. That's my husband's area. Although there are a few intersections between the two.

When I told both of my daughters that I had been diagnosed with Autism, both of them said, "Yeah, we know."

Thinking about it makes me laugh. Apparently, they thought I was autistic for years but didn’t want to say something in case it might upset me. πŸ˜‚

But I think I did OK. Both of my girls are autistic, and I just seem to naturally vibe with them. Their doctors for years thought I was on the spectrum as well. I just brushed it off, thinking that I was just odd and had issues because I had an abusive upbringing. That certainly wasn’t the case.

Originally never wanted kids, but life happens.

I can tell you I initially felt some disconnect when they presented me with this small wrinkled thing in a blanket. The idea of being a parent was foreign to me. I certainly didn’t have a great role models in my own parents...
