Today in AI slop: I was looking for information on why rabbits jump over each other (I want to know where the ones in the backyard are in their enemies-to-lovers arc) and an article abruptly switched from talking about rabbits jumping to talking about why humans contemplate suicide *tableflip*

I’m the only motherfucker at the hospital wearing a mask and there’s Fox News on full volume in the waiting room. But I guess that’s to be expected in this reactionary backwater of [checks notes] Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Fall colors are not just pretty. They are an evolved series of metabolic actions to conserve nitrogen and other nutrients. Breaking down chlorophyll to export N exposes the living leaf cells to sun damage. Red and yellow pigments serve to protect the leaf cells from bleaching by the sun.

Made an appointment for the new vaccine and set a calendar reminder to take my antihistamines!
Because the new COVID vaccine is out and someone asked me for a reminder: it's 50mg diphenhydramine 15m before the shot or 20mg cetirizine 2-3 hours before (if you have MCAS add an extra 20mg famotidine + 10mg montelukast (if taking) when you take the others) to avoid feeling like death
