I show this in almost every single class I teach to demonstrate the simple values behind the dignity of all people and how at odds our culture's norms are to the idea. I have cried over how hard it is to believe myself when I repeat after Rev. Jackson, "even if I make a mistake, I am somebody." RIP.

Chef Frank Boggie of the Albany Hotel almost met his match in 1982 when he cooked up Shrove Tuesday pancakes. Workman Willie Duffy reckoned anything Frank could do, he could do better... even with a shovel!

Pancake expert here. The annual rush to harvest pancakes on a single day has extremely deleterious effects on the local pancake ecosystem. By all means pick a few pancakes for your own use, but please leave some on the bush so that it can recover in its own time.

If you're in the UK, have had your eye on a Steam Deck for a while now and have been waiting to pull the trigger, this might be the time to go for it. It's still in stock in the UK but it looks like it's either about to be sold out everywhere for a while, or get more expensive.
Steam Deck is currently out of stock in the US, as Valve warns of memory and storage shortages.

Cautionary tale: I asked Gemini to transcribe a 1-page PDF from The Morning Post from the early 1800s. I was interested in testing its accuracy.
It hallucinated a full transcription of book review that doesn't exist and then invented false citations when I asked where the review was from.
