I see Helen Lewis is now moaning about how "gender criticals" were marginalised by the BBC who wouldn't let them "debate" trans people's existence freely! It really is a cult

One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon.

also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system.

The whole 'don't eat things with lots of ingredients or ingredients you can't pronounce' is the stupidest advice & makes me immediately skeptical of whoever is offering it. Probably more people in the U.S. can pronounce "butter" and "arsenic" than can pronounce "quinoa," so then what?

The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason. It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

Hello! I know a lot of my followers are from the west and I would like to ask that if you have money to spare, please commission some Filipino artists right now that are doing commissions for a cause to help fund the repairs from the recent (and upcoming) super typhoons.

#山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds

10羽め：嬰勺(Ying-shao)。体色は白く、赤い目と嘴をしており、カササギに似る。尾が柄杓の形をしているというのだけど…柄杓…？としばらく考え込んでしまいました。結局、リボンのような尾がぐるぐる巻きになって固まり、柄杓状になった…というイメージに。水を汲んで高い位置から流すような求愛行動をしそう。あとすごく飛びにくそう。

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

We got to meet the most unique little boy yesterday, he’s with our partner rescue. At first glance, he looks like a regular orange tabby. But take a closer look, & what seems like grease smudges is actually (drumroll)— small mixed tortoiseshell patches!! This little guy has 1:3000 XXY chromosomes.

Ferdinand Rudow (2 April 1840 – 3 September 1920)[1] was a German entomologist best known for the poor quality of his taxonomic work.[2] He described over 200 species of wasps during his lifetime, almost all of which have been revised as synonyms of other species. After an initial interest in studying lice and mites, Rudow began to focus on wasps in 1871.[3] Over the course of his research, he described 234 species and varieties within the Ichneumonidae family of parasitoid wasps, eventually amassing a collection of close to 14,000 insect specimens His work was heavily criticised as unscientific by his contemporaries. He refused to accept modern systems of nomenclature, and often wrote critically of them. In 1908, for example, he wrote that he was "disgusted by the activities of the so-called 'systematics'," whose changes he felt were confusing and unhelpful. in 1993 the german entomologist klaus horst mann described him as "undoubtedly the most incompetent taxonomist of Ichneumonidae.

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.

! A key group of Senate Democrats is leaning toward voting for a deal to end the shutdown, provided final details can be worked out like worker protections (Gift link)
