Animal lover, reader
While there were enough cool moments to make the opening ceremonies worth watching (no spoilers, in case anyone recorded them), the sheer amount of ads was excessive. Totally took me out of the experience. They'd go to a full break, come back for maybe 2 minutes, if that, then do split screen ads.

🤦♀️Some people really need to double check their posts. I just saw one where a woman posted about the biodegradable tea cup she had received, saying she couldn't figure out how to fold the flaps and be able to drink it properly. She included photos. Those photos clearly showed NUMBERED INSTRUCTIONS.

Anyone here who is also on Threads: is your Threads being stupid this morning? It seemingly let's me see posts, but if it's an actual thread, it won't load the next parts, I can't see any of my notifications, and I can write a comment, but it won't post. Using the app.

Ireland, you know what you must do
Thanks @conorom.bsky.social for writing this piece for us setting out the legal position on X and CSAM… in short, yes, they could be prosecuted.

Ireland could prosecute Twitter/X for AI 'child porn' deepfakes
The horrific child sex abuse material produced every day by Grok is already banned under Irish law. The real test is if we are ready to enforce that law against large tech companies

@transformativeworks.org I've noticed more and more stories posted on #AO3 with tags stating they were written using ai. Do you know of any plans to remove these stories or somehow stop them from being uploaded in the first place?

Why a misunderstood wolf from a French supermarket ad is moving viewers worldwide
A French supermarket's Christmas advert has captured hearts worldwide without using generative AI. The two-and-a-half-minute film, "Unloved," created for Intermarché, tells the story of a lonely wolf who chooses to change.

As a woman who graduated from an Engineering program, December 6 is always a day of remembrance for me. On Dec 6, 1989, a person took offense to the fact women were studying Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. The plaque names the 14 women who were murdered.

I bought the No Name seasonal ice cream after my shift today. It's called North Pole-itan (I mean, gold star for the name at least), and is supposed to be some type of berry (they call it Jingle Berry), mint, and marshmallow.
I regret buying it. All three flavours are very weird.

"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA. 👩🔬 🧪
