Silly jokes and politics and baseball ⚾ (Orioles and Mariners) and football 🏈 (Ravens and Seahawks) and romance novels and oversharing/anxiety. Left, but not as far left as you want me to be.

Every cishet man should be required to read at least three (3) romance novels.
I'm confident that a bunch of them would secretly love it because I saw how the football podcast men talked about Taylor and Travis. ("What if he proposed at the Superb*wl wouldn't that be great?" Adorbs)

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

When I was a child my grandparents were visiting after some holiday and my grandfather decided to have pie for breakfast, but my little brother (4 at the time) was like "wait, why do YOU get to have dessert for breakfast?"
And Grandpa was like "valid point" and scooped him some ice cream at 7:30 am
And Grandpa was like "valid point" and scooped him some ice cream at 7:30 am
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

So what you're saying is that, scientifically speaking, cheetahs are friend shaped
Technically speaking, cheetahs aren't big cats, despite their size. Big cats all belong to the genus Panthera & can roar. Cheetahs are classified in the Acinonyx genus & have small-cat anatomy, notably in their larynx. They can't roar, but can purr, meow, chirrup & make sounds like house cats.

He was so good for them! Happy to see this! And it means we should get a Corbin Burnes - James McCann reunion

Driving east sucks because you leave at dawn, drive for 9 hours, and when you get in, it's NIGHT.
And if you also cross a time zone? Yeesh

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

I've been told that one of the Actually It Has Some Uses of genAI is that it can analyze data, but it also cannot do that. Copilot repeatedly fails to tell which of two numbers is higher. It cannot analyze a dataset of two. AI is a scam. It is financial fraud

They called me the other day and asked if I had ever "used cloudflare" because that's where the IP trace led and... C'mon. Like, yes, I have been on the Internet, wtf are we talking about
