OpenAI, the company whose ChatGPT tool helped spark chatbot cheating, wants to embed A.I. in every facet of university life. Here's what the company told me about its plans to conquer campuses. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/technology/chatgpt-openai-colleges.html

Post-mow patio time with the dog friends

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

New to knitting (or know someone who is)? I’ve put together a video tutorial that covers everything you need to get started. It’s a great resource for #beginnerknitter or anyone needing a refresher: youtu.be/f3xQ90TFhyc Tag a friend who’s ready to pick up the needles! 👇 #Knitsky #knittingtips

Texas teachers are quitting at a rate that’s 25 percent above the national average. In Tennessee, the vacancy rate for all public schools is 5.5 percent, compared to a national average of 4 percent. From November 2023: https://trib.al/35k5Qnk

Slow morning

When the kitties rule the roost

Happy pride! ✌🏻

Morning walkies

Okay… this is amazing

I'm laying in bed watching moonlight come through the slats in the blinds while my fan spins and it looks like an old timey black and white gangster movie scene in the detective's office at night. I'm very high right now.

Interesting post on the declind of work happy hours. “'Why would you drink with co-workers when you could hang out with your friends or family, anyway?'” slate.com/life/2025/05...

She did it again tonight! This is her new go to sleep spot.

Evening garden meditations

You can think about what others think about you and have whatever emotions you want, but know who you are and believe in it and have rigorous reasons for doing so, loving your friends and those closest to you is the only counterbalance to being a gigantic hater.

Got up, turned around, and found Purl laying like this.

Kale stem time. Best time of the day 🤌🏻
