Unintended Mud Hen Consequences

King Charles fires warning shot to Trump amid Canada threats (mirror.co.uk)

"Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling. Yet this moment is also an incredible opportunity. An opportunity for renewal. An opportunity to think big and to act bigger.

Strangely, those words from King Charles work for me, too.

Drastically changing world. Opportunity. Renewal. Think Big. Act Bigger.

He’s basically making the case for optimism despite all the doom and gloom.

We’ll get there, eventually.

Gizmodo on AI cheating leading to a resurgence of the ultimate analog test-taking tool - the blue book:

…could it be that blue books have been refashioned from a villain of the pre-AI age to a hero for our algorithmically-poisoned times? More and more, it seems like they’re the dark knight that America’s illiterate masses needs. The Journal notes that Roaring Spring Paper Products, the family-owned paper company that produces a majority of the blue books that are sold on college campuses, admits that the new AI era has ironically been good for its business.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again.

We had our annual Mud Hens outing at the firm today. We were a little worried it was going to rain–we were rained out last year, so another cancellation this year would be a bummer. The rain held off, though, and we had a really great event. A good game, too–Mud Hens trailed after the first but eventually took the lead and won the game. Great day!
