I've given myself a March deadline to get my hallway finished. I told Z that I'm picking paint for the walls next week - so look out!

Thinking about the Texas families who didn't vaccinate their kids against measles and didn't regret that when one of the kids died.

Shameful
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

I could happily go the rest of life without hearing yet another tech stooge proclaim that AI "opens up new avenues for creativity." Because nothing screams "creativity" like guys on the internet using the same canned statement over, and over, and over.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

If you ever wonder what it's like to be a homeowner, if you happen to have a broken window, you'll have one guy come out and say you need a new window and it will cost $3000, and then the next day, you'll have a new guy replace the broken panes for $200.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

PLEASE USE A MEAT THERMOMETER
(A) stop feeling pressure to be perfect;
(B) normalize asking questions, because that is normalizing learning;
(C) do not ask AI if your turkey is done; ask a meat thermometer

Oh good. I’ve been dreading my in-laws announcing their support of this
Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?
Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.
The grift never ends.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

The thing about using AI is that once you learn about how not great it is (for the environment, for artists, for your brain, etc.), you can just stop using it. No shame. Just be done with it.

Yes, how DARE these representatives encourage people to follow the law! Clearly, the party of LAW and order should be concerned about the law following!

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Got a few of them to turn out by scanning and inverting - love this picture of my dad and his grandfather. He was probably around 2-3 in this picture series.

Ok, E’s design is done. Working on H’s at some point today. I have his center design done (it’s candy canes) and am trying to decide on the border - Holly berries or pinecones - and will do both to see which is better.

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

You can do this at my library online! Very convenient!
Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.
