anyway good night

Fluffy gray tripod tabby asleep on his back with a big smile. He is halfway in a sunbeam (which tells you how long he’s been there - he was in a full puddle of light when he plopped down there)….and the other half in shadow, with rainbow reflections scattered across his hairy little belly.

it's that time of year!
the days are getting shorter so get your schedule set, take your vitamins DAILY, drink lots of water, and be gentle with yourself.

we're going into hibernation mode. it's okay to not expect anything other than survival from yourself.

It's okay to take a break even if you don't think you deserve one.
It's okay if you don't cross off every item on your to-do list.
It's okay to not be productive every second of every day.
You are a human, not a machine.
It's okay. You're okay.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).

If you have time, give it a try?
