If by some miracle the whole AI industry falls apart because some tech bros decided to spend trillions on compute without spending maybe tens of millions a year on licensing art, I will laugh so hard I'll be in danger of a ruptured spleen.

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits

I'm beginning to think this has less and less to do with a pipeline and more to do with the magic beans of AI and carbon capture with an order of natural gas electricity plants on the side...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

I had a 70 something yr old lady fandom-check me in the food court when she clocked my Jays city connect hat. We talked for a good 15 mins about the thrill of this season. Great interactions with strangers are still possible

Optometrists appointments are weird. "Is one or two better?"

We're like 21/24 of the way through 2025 and if you told me in January than in November I would be compulsively refreshing the Sportsnet app for Jays free agency news I would have called you insane. If you'd have told me what in the Epstein emails I'd have said "oh absolutely"

something I will never understand is why NIMBYs feel entitled to being consulted when a shelter or transitional housing is being set up in their neighbourhood
do you screen every person in your neighbourhood before they move in? do you get consulted every time a house is built?
