This is real issue. At a previous job, I dealt with CSAM as in Cyber Security Assessment and Management. It legit took me a bit to figure out what the hell everybody was talking about in regards to Twitter and Grok. Gotta use language people understand if you want them to care.
To a lot of people the statemrnt "Grok creates CSAM" will read as a "tech headline" they bypass.
"Grok creates child porn" is a much more visceral statement that will grab someone's attention and THEN you can explain why we don't use that term anymore.

Stayed up way too late, but finished the last 3 chapters of Dispatch. Really enjoyed it a lot. The dispatch game was a fun (but stressful) puzzle to figure out and I was really into the story. And Laura Bailey is a vocal chameleon... I don't think I've ever actually recognized her voice in anything

Hurt my knee watching TV. Didn't do anything to it, just noticed it was getting more and more sore, then couldn't put any weight on it the next day. Couldn't hike for 2 years.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Here's the problem. Trump has spent the last year verifying that the other reps in the gov are so far up his ass that he can do anything unopposed, and he's spent the last 4yrs watching the world's response to Russia & Isreal. He knows he pretty much has a free hand at this stage.

Of all the groups that Facebook forces me to look at that I'm not a member of, there's a sick irony to the fact that it's the Mass Effect groups of all things that are utterly overrun by AI sycophants.

Don't know that I can think of anything I'd consider a win in 2025. Guess we'll see what 2026 has... dangerous words to put out there, but it theoretically can't be any worse.

Me thinking I was so clever in figuring out how to get Sciel's engine started in combat, only to find the ONLY mechanic that apparently doesn't stack with combo attacks.

Jesus H, I had the weirdest stout from a brewery. Felt 100% fine leaving (didn't leave right away, chilled for a bit, had a couple sodas). 2 hours after getting home, that stout is rearing up and deciding that I'm NOW gonna be feeling somewhere between tipsy and drunk. What the shit?

Finally started an Expedition 33 New Game+. Not loving it so far since it's clearly not balanced for a bunch of lvl95 badasses. But on the occasion I hit an enemy that puts up a fight, managing to parry a whole combo still hits the ol' dopamine receptors right in the happy spot.

I swear my laundry drier is intelligent and runs on spite. If I remember to do laundry in the middle of the day, it'll dry everything on the first cycle. If I do laundry in the evening? Oof, that's gonna be A LOT of runs and I'm gonna be up until 2am waiting for it to dry.

I figured the giant orange idiot was either going to be engaging in a public circle jerk or he was making an insidious announcement. Given that nobody is talking about it, I think I can be relieved and safely assume it was option 1.

Some of the discussions about some companies in recent days have been disappointing... I guess there really aren't any good ones out there. Capitalism is gonna capitalism, I suppose.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

I remember when I'd go get a massage and at least some of it felt good, if not most of it. Now I'm so old and broken that the whole time is torture. The fixing of stuff is more painful than the actual stuff that needs fixing, haha.
