Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I've seen that theory floated to explain the "help wanted" signs at fast food places that never come down.
Medical conditions also play a role in it. I'm on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that's at home where I can dress comfortably.
And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that's why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday--the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.
As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I'm of two minds.

I've seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.

If you're going to overdose, I'd rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you're going to engage in public sex please don't do it around people that aren't into that. There are private clubs for that.
Drunk driving isn't an accident.
My last company did this. They'd also send out surveys and training from addresses I didn't recognize, so I'd report those, too, only to be told they were legit 😂
Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.
The TL&DR is that AI-generated children's books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like "foreshadowing" and "beginning middle and end". Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it's unsatisfying, but they can't put into words why their books are wrong.
I read an article about it recently. If a student asks to be called by a name other than the one they were registered with (for example, Benjamin asks to be called Ben or William asks to be called Sir Buttface) the school is supposed to inform the parents and get approval. A "side" effect of this is outing trans kids to their parents.
Welp, that's my vocabulary lesson for the day. Screenshot:
Also, the dino in the upper right is cute.
They get really repetitive and don't add much to the conversation.
