everyone enraptured, watching an apple, the same apple, begging for crumbs
OK I'll bite: what's a "personality"
I am going to probably be posting about the BlackBerry movie a lot so I apologize in advance but did we all know that Glenn Howerton aka Dennis from It's Always Sunny went to JUILLIARD
there is a kind of skinny guy character actor who will always and forever have my heart, and I have simply made my peace with that

Eating disorders, union busting
Hey, remember last week when it came out that NEDA was starting to use an AI chatbot to replace humans that provided advice to people with eating disorders?
Two things: First, they had to roll that back because (shock!) the bot was giving actively harmful advice, including directly encouraging disordered eating: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjvk97/eating-disorder-helpline-disables-chatbot-for-harmful-responses-after-firing-human-staff
But… it gets worse: (1/2)
working on the methods section of this research grant and I know I can't keep this but 1) I laughed and 2) it's true, this has worked with students
embarrassing realization, work
