Slept until 9:30 (unheard of), had lebkuchen, cookies, and a mince pie for breakfast and am now on a serious sugar high. Oh and it is noon, apparently Friday (wot?), I am still in my jamies and What's Up Doc just started on TV. Am I doing this right? #joinin #christmas2025 #boxingday

This is your brain on Ritalin. Got your attention? Stimulant medications like Ritalin (methylphenidate) do, but not in the way you might think. They don't act directly on the brain’s attention systems! Find out what's really happening in @cellpress.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Born this day in 1884, on Neskuchnoye estate in Ukraine, the marvelous painter Zinaida Serebriakova. After my time, but worth making an exception! Here by herself at the mirror in 1909.

Abundance of fruit, plus monkeys, squirrel, & guinea pigs. All the animals are alive because it's Jan van Kessel II's pantry, and today is his day.

"KI ist aus unserem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken" wird irgendein Uni-Funktionär in der Zeitung zitiert & ich denke: Also aus meinem schon. Ohne LLMs würde ich vielleicht 1-3 schlechte Hausarbeiten pro Semester weniger durchfallen lassen müssen, aber ansonsten...?

Struggling to understand what all this means? Maybe you relied too often on (inaccurate &/or biased) #AI summaries, rather than using your little grey cells.
I could draw a picture of it for you, if you'd like, but, to make up for all the graphic work I've lost to AI, my fee went up.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

A 'leaked' architectural drawing showing how the White House might be adapted to reflect Trump's tastes. It bears more than a passing resemblance to Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise in Back to the Future II.
Can't zoom in? Here's a larger version:
