From liaaa.bia on TikTok. She’s been doing a great job of documenting and communicating with her Dean. The professor seems very uninterested in addressing this.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

The main goal was to figure out her mullet from behind, but I got sidetracked

Gideon from The Locked Tomb saga, simply standing, from a back view. She’s got one arm flexed behind her head, kind of. Her rapier and set of keys dangle from each side of her pants.

The reference used is from Trueref.

PT - post tifa, a calendar year system which starts at 1 PT after the release of Final Fantasy VII in Japan. Start date is contested with some advocates going by different region release dates (PAL and US) as well as that time the Italian Senate displayed Tifa pornography during a meeting

an-tifa = in front of tifa

pos-tifa = behind tifa

Also, and this is not the biggest issue, but the most common mispronunciation of "antifa" used in the media sounds terrible too

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 19h

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The Catholic Church requires bishops to submit their resignation to the Pope when they turn 75 and the Pope chooses whether to accept it or not and as much as I hate having to hand anything to the Catholic Church, they are kinda on to something

Happy National Coming Out Day! Remember: coming out is a reference to being formally accepted into society, in our case, the queer community. You are not confessing a secret to the majority; you're being inducted into a family.

Hello bluesky! I'm Nora and I have a jewelry store focused on fused glass; I also have game tokens and worry stones.

Collage: nora.jewelry/collections/...
Cluster: nora.jewelry/collections/...
Worry stones: nora.jewelry/search?q=wor...
Earrings: nora.jewelry/collections/...

ad for the nora.jewelry collage collection, which consists of pieces made from patterned cane with some transparency piled on top of other different color canes and turned into a molded shape; the transparency creates a lot of depth in the final pieces, because you can see through the transparent bits to what is behind it. pictures are a pair of round green, white and purple cufflinks, a orange and yellow bolo tie, and a teardrop shaped pendant with a green/white design added to a pink design

ad for the cluster collection, a group of fused glass pendants (and a couple other things, but only pendants are pictured) made from placing glass cylinders on their ends in a group and melting them just enough to round them out but not enough to make them fully puddle like most of my designs. the result of this ends up looking a bit like fish eggs adhered to a flat surface, or a bundle of grapes. the ones pictured are a simple round aqua blue design with yellow middles, a purple design with distorted flowers (this one started out as regular flowers but rounded their petals in the kiln, blurring them) and a round tan design with brown and white middles.

worry stone collection: this one has an orange collage design worry stone in an abstract shape, a white and green one where the edges between the colors blur, and a round one in a bi pride pattern.

earring collection: this one shows a sparkly green aventurine pair of round earrings, one that's white/grey/clear with black spots (that one's made from spiral cane that I made flat and you can see the spiral in the final design) and one with swirling green, yellow and pink set in white.

all the backgrounds on all of these are an aventurine dragonskin sheet that i put at low transparency over white, so they have a lacy quality to them.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
