Shout out to the transcription software I used for a meeting that is convinced that "horistics" rather than "heuristics" was the appropriate word.

Why do people on reddit always write "loosing" instead of "losing"? Is this a common word in a different language? Or do people just not know how to spell anymore? And don't get me started on "wary" vs "weary".

If you ever want to learn the French names for birds, read some Flaubert. I'm seven pages into "La Légende de Saint Julien L'Hospitalier" and I've encountered: hirondelles - swallows colombe - dove faucons - falcons faucons-pélerins - peregrines cailles - quails héron - héron milan - kite

demeter when her daughter goes missing

Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated: “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.

Should I let the turkey into the school of public policy?

I'm not defending Utah, but it's disingenuous to not mention how states like Texas, South Carolina, and Florida are refusing to acknowledge how many cases they actually have.

I found a new favorite insult! Moule à merde Literally “mold of shit,” this insult describes someone as being absolutely worthless or pathetic. It’s graphic and crude, so it’s not one to use lightly. This insult belongs strictly to heated arguments or exaggerated banter among friends.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Me eating lunch every day.

More of this, please.

god, the last few days, i don’t think ive ever related to a movie character more than this one in this scene

Did I break the Duolingo bot or does everyone's bot now admit that it's artificial intelligence instead of pretending to be a teenager with a dog?

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

Not the point, but using "I was told to bring a sine" as a pro-science protest sign is genius.

My partner and I were just discussing last night that there may be a new specialization in psychology that will be dedicated to helping people with their AI psychosis. He said the therapy could involve taking people to the desert to replace AI spirituality with nature.

we probably shouldn't be growing alfalfa in the middle of the fucking desert using dangerously scarce water resources! It seems like it'd be a layup to buy these economically unviable farms from these farmers, shutter them and recover the water rights to stop the Great Salt Lake from drying up?

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Today I discovered that you can ask the AI bot in Duolingo to teach you French words in a particular subject. I asked about machine-learning terms.

Doctors say that most serious childhood diseases are caused by viruses. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they are caused by radiation from 5G cell phone towers. For a busy parent, it can be hard to know who to trust.

happy international women's day

I wonder if France had a higher percentage of trust before the Pelicot trial and the conviction of Scouarnec for abusing 299 children while he was a surgeon.

I mean it's no "swimming in shit water"

"For Paliwal, agentic AIs are a method of freeing people from the labor of education...'We're seeing a rise in unemployment across degree holders because of AI, and that makes me question whether this is really what humans are born to do.'" So his solution is to have students learn nothing?!

Epstein-Barr is the trigger for so many auto immune diseases! And the US is ruining everything because they are led by a man that just said he used to snort cocaine off a toilet so he's not afraid of germs.

Take me with you! Je suis avocat specialise en brevets!

Chatting with the Duolingo bot has been repetitive lately because the bot won't talk about most food (she's vegetarian), won't talk about work (she goes to high school), won't talk about travel (she prefers to stay at home with her dog Max). 1/3

I watched a tv show with time travel where you know when it's in the future because this woman's eyeliner becomes extra thick. It's very relatable. My eyeliner also gets thicker as I age.

What an order! "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency."

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

The last time I used a food delivery service was in 2018 so this article is fascinating (and alarming) to me.

Monstrous

I've been reading about European history during the 17th century and it's amazing what a strong Parliament can do to curtail a rogue king.

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

My bird won't eat any crackers unless I eat a portion first, as if I'm his personal poison tester.

I have class at the University of Utah today. My 11- yr old asked if I could bring back a toy because when she went to camp at the U last summer, they showed movies in the same building as my class and they gave out toys. 🤣

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

As a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence, I cannot describe how much it pains me to hear the Vice President say we owe a debt of gratitude to man who shot a woman in the face and then called her a fucking bitch.

“Even the names of the 4 Ministries by which we are governed exhibit a sort of impudence in their deliberate reversal of the facts. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation." -1984

Salem, Massachusetts categorizes their witch shops as "metaphysical supply stores." Coming from a philosophy background, I prefer to imagine that a metaphysical supply store sells a lot of chairs for thinking about Plato's Republic, causality, etc.

Has anyone ever done a remake of Jay Z's "99 Problems" for Martin Luther? "I've got 95 theses and absolving sins ain't one"?

My response to anything over the next two weeks

The whole "save Don Davis' seat" appeal from NC Dems rings pretty hollow when he consistently votes to support far-right atrocities.

It's a good thing I listen to a lot of Taylor Swift. Otherwise my listening age might be 70!

I heard there was a secret verse That David used to make AI worse But you don't really want to pub that, do ya
