There's a chrome extension called "Bye Bye, Google AI" that can remove the AI summary, the shopping blocks, the sponsored links, and other results you don't want to see. It seems to work well, though obviously doesn't solve the larger systemic issues with google and google search

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

Is humic like the adjective of humus? Seems like a word that I want to add to my vocab, but I want to make sure I'm using it right. Wikipedia just gives me "Humic Substances"

Kind of fucked up that if you read a reddit "Am I the Asshole?" post and the writer is a man, he is probably the asshole like 65% of time. If it's a woman than she is likely not the asshole, but almost certainly in an abusive relationship

So anyway, it's really good news that student teachers are getting paid for their work in some MN classrooms now, I hope it is expanded and fully funded. Also, that instructor was DeRay Mckesson

This happened during my MPS orientation. Right after student teaching, none of us had money. Our instructor didn’t tell us the room’s intercom was off, so we never heard the “move your cars for plowing” announcement. As each person stepped outside their shoulders slumped & they let out a lil groan

If I had made it to Masters I was going to spend some of the clothing stipend on a Johnny Gilbert-style varsity jacket with a drawing of him shredding on the axe on the back, but I am happy to give this idea for a winner’s prize

I didn’t realize until a couple days ago that in order for the driver’s co-op thing to happen, 10,000 people need to sign up for the app to indicate interest in using it here.
If you’re in the Twin Cities metro, take a couple minutes to download the app + sign up!

Thank you :) TK tells me I had the worst timing rating since they started keeping stats on it. But I'm now also one of like 5 people to get two TDD back-to-back, so I guess they cancel out for a win 🤷‍♂️

You know how ships fly their flags upside to indicate a dire situation? Anyway. That's how I felt when I saw each of these players walk into the hotel lobby on tape day. Jeopardy Invitational Tournament starts next week. You do NOT want to miss this!

Remember, the temporal paradox will return tonight. You may notice anomalies, such as missing time or strange behavior from your pets. You will likely feel tired for the first few days after passing through the temporal displacement field. This is normal for time travel.
