When an airport rejected this sexual harassment lawyer's small ad, she sued. Now she has a giant billboard | CBC Radio

A New York airport authority rejected sexual harassment lawyer Megan Thomas's ad copy and asked her to tone it down, so she filed a free speech lawsuit. The judge took her side, and now she has two massive ads on full display.

“Yeah, that's how you get got in this process. Once you stop scrutinizing the model's output, the probability something goes off the rails approaches 1. "Human in the loop" is necessary, but the current process itself makes the loop stultifying, and encourages the human to take themselves out of the loop. That process is straight up dangerous. The temptation to let it rip is always there, and I didn't even have a boss pressuring me to ship code.”

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

PSA: The Book of Doors and the Society of Unknowable Objects by Gareth Brown are two of the best books I’ve read in a while. Kind of reminds me of RF Kuang but more structured and plot-driven and less tedious. The magic system in both books is fun but also the love of books that comes out of the pages makes it really enjoyable to curl up with and read. #books #bookstodon

Me to my doctor today: I’ve upped my Prozac to 200mg
My doctor: oh my god that is an enormous dose of Prozac. Please tell me you are not taking that much
Me: oh right! My #cat is on Prozac, I’m on a different SSRI. It’s hard to keep straight sometimes.

Having taken my first serious break from work, I’ve realized that I have more #fibromyalgia symptoms than I previously thought. I had severe touch sensitivity which mostly seems controlled but I always chalked up the tiredness, soreness and poor sleep to stress. Does anyone else with fibromyalgia have recommendations or updates to the research from the last decade since I was diagnosed? I’d appreciate thoughts and support which I know I’ll find in my mastodon community!
