Masking is a coping strategy where neurodivergent people hide our neurodivergent traits to conform to others’ expectations.

This is exhausting, and is a major contributor to burnout for neurodivergent people

The same people who insist people accused of crimes "pay their debt to society" are typically very quick to also say "society doesn't owe you anything".

❝Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.❞

To write is to think. Using ChatGPT to write leads to..."cognitive debt", which might be one of the better euphemism for somewhat less polite words. Small n, not yet peer-reviewed, etc https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 #ai

Today is going to be way too fucking busy. My calendar is full of meetings, I have to write a bit more fucking java today, gotta get the car window fixed and I have to go to the dentist because on Friday a crown popped off!

Ugh. I don't want to.

“I asked you not to do it. I said, Charlie, please don’t make your stupid joke, it’s not funny. But, still, when the waiter brought the check, what did you say? What did you say, Charlie?”

“No thanks, I’ve already got a big bill.”

“It’s like going out to dinner with my father!”

The Princess Bride - William Goldman

If you've only ever seen the movie, do yourself a favor and read the book. It's conceit (that it is an abridgement of a much longer and more boring novel, to bring it in line with the more streamlined and adventurous version that the author's father would read him when he was sick) is beautifully executed.

The whole thing is good and wholesome and full of fun little ribs and asides that it just lives in my head all the time.

And, of course, the movie was a delight too.
