Social Networks

There’s nothing more humbling than walking into a nightclub and realising that you are your friends are the oldest people in the crowd. It seems ridiculous to say it that at 22, but 18-year-olds genuinely view us as ancient monuments. They’ll say hurtful things like: “Wait…no way, you don’t look 22”, and smile like they’ve just made the OAP on the dancefloor feel better about herself. I get it, I used to look at people who had finished college as these fully formed beings, so mature and world-wise. I can confirm, being at this stage of life is not as glamorous as I had pictured it being, as a gentle teen. It’s less martinis and contributing to your pension, more struggling to keep tabs on which country each of your friends is moving to. I often think that I am no different than a teen, and then I talk to one and realise how desperately uncool I have become over the years. The disjunction is glaring when I walk into the wrong nightclub, yes. But nothing will make me feel my age as much as my relationship with social media. I am now at an age where it feels wrong

Charlie Woods’ week at the Junior PGA Championship came to a close Thursday when he missed the secondary cut in ​Frisco, Texas. The 17-year-old son of Tiger ‌Woods struggled in his third round, posting a 5-over-par 77 on the Fields Ranch East course at PGA Frisco.

– credit, LaCinda Thackery via GoFundMe A woman was able to help a partially disabled airport worker retire after she witnessed him hobbling across the tarmac on a flight out of Los Angeles. Heartbroken watching him limp up to the plane she was sitting on, she captured a video of the man for her TikTok account and posted it with a caption asking if anyone knew who he was. The footage went viral, and soon, a fundraiser did to. James Blair is a Navy veteran, working in the military between 1980 and 1990 before reentering civilian life as a fuel mechanic. Since 2006 he’s worked at John Wayne Airport despite hardly being able to walk from a pair of deteriorated knees. Having recently turned 64, and therefore not far from social security and presumably a military pension, he cannot retire as his income helps support his elderly mother’s hospice care. Knowing none of this, Thackery proceeded to watch as comments piled up asking her how someone might be able to help the poor man, until finally a commentor identified him as Blair, at which point she was able to get in touch with him, having neither a smartphone nor social

A free online leadership course offered by Troy University in 2020 planted a seed for Baytown, Texas resident Justin Ross Glover, and on July 24, that seed bloomed into a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. Glover was among the more than 300 Troy University graduates to receive their diplomas during the summer commencement ceremony inside Trojan Arena on the Troy Campus. For Glover, Friday’s walk across the graduation stage represented the culmination of a journey that began 27 years ago. Glover lived in southern Alabama from ages 5 to 8, but then his family bounced around the south, before landing in Texas, where he finished high school. He started college in 1999. “It was hit or miss – a lot of fun and taking semesters off to work,” he admitted. “I finished my associate’s degree in 2010.” Glover had occasional thoughts of continuing his education, but it was the notice about a free leadership class that appeared on Linked In in 2020 that caught his attention. “In 2020, I saw on Linked In an announcement about Dr. Hawkins’ free online course, Leadership 101, and I decided to take it,” he said. “It planted a seed. I looked further into TROY

LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals. It used to be quite boring, but now people have found it’s a great place to try to earn business brain clout by going there and dumping AI slop. Microsoft, which purchased LinkedIn in 2016, has decided to acknowledge the scourge of the “What losing my childhood Golden Retriever to pancreatic cancer taught me about B2B sales”-style chum on the platform with a new button that flags it as AI slop. Instead of just reporting your ex-boss’s posts as spam, you can now tag them with “seems like AI slop.” The move comes after AI detector startup Pangram recently claimed that over 40 percent of long-form posts on LinkedIn are AI garbage. Pangram has its own problems, but the publicity forced Microsoft to reckon with something anyone who has come within three clicks of LinkedIn has known for months. “AI slop is a top priority for all of us,” chief product officer Hari Srinivasan says in a post (via The Verge ). “We really care about this.” In a post definitely not written with the help of AI, he continued, “We are ramping the ability for members to tell us if they
