Chef, comic, muppet. ACAB. Feisty sock full of nails. I’m hot and angry and will help you if I can. Currently processing grief and might get weird about it.
I’m the cat curiosity hasn’t killed.

Still have a lot of stuff to knock off the counter.

It would have been my Mom’s 71st birthday today.
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She had a life of tragedy no one deserves and still stayed a whimsical, silly, kind soul who was beloved by all who met her until her death.
Also, COVID did her in. Wear a fucking mask!

I guess the upside to missing a week of work to the flu is that I have been able to bump up my emergency stash of ADHD meds.
That’s really it, though. I am very grateful to my pardner for being able to support me because otherwise I’d be FUCKED.

It doesn’t feel like Christmas. And it’s not just that I’m stuck home sick while Pardner is down in Corvallis with family, the whole vibe is off.
Nevertheless- I wish all those reading this a very merry Christmas, however you celebrate. The sun is coming back, hopefully with better news.

This is exactly why you can give no quarter to bigotry. This went down this way because a semi-illiterate college junior was disrespecting a trans TA, and because they were successful in targeting her, now everyone is in danger.
Protecting trans rights is the right thing to do. And the wise thing.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Ok on second thought, maybe having dudes with no compassion or charisma or social experience design AI was a bad idea. Like yeah, sure, this guy who has never had kids will probably know what to do with someone who keeps asking “yeah but why tho”

Salesforce exec Phil Mui described Al "drift" in an October blog post.
"When users ask irrelevant questions, Al agents lose focus on their primary objectives. For instance a chatbot designed to guide form completion may become distracted when customers ask unrelated questions."

I made the mistake of craving a tuna melt and deciding to make a GF version at home.
My cats have never had tuna.
I spoiled them with juice from ONE can. No salt, in water, wild caught. Mixed with water.
Now that they know tuna appetizers are a possibility, I am doomed.

Admittedly, we should've seen ICE Santa coming when they introduced the Elf on the Shelf.
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

It was in an overcrowded chest freezer and I didn’t close it properly after getting some chicken breasts out to thaw.
