So jealous of the lawyer who had this walk into their office..

"The exam, he said, 'actually says that we are a country in which we have chosen to put the examination of opposing views and debate at the heart of education.'” I wish the US did something like this.

… a lil opossum munching away on my cliff bar in my pannier! 🤯😂 How did it get here?!

Last year I bought extra pungent garlic from the farmer's market. It was so strong when I was cooking that my partner could smell it in the SHOWER and thought something was wrong. On a possibly related note, did you know that if you cook with garlic enough, you can develop garlic blindness?

James Joyce is gonna read this and come back from the dead so he can publish Finnegan's Wake 2 out of sheer spite.

In public health, you learn an awful lot about people willing to profit off of harms to children. But my jaw is on the floor. It never occurred to me that the sentence “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital” would ever be followed by the phrase: “But here’s the thing.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

You know that Middle Eastern yogurt drink called doogh? I had a dream that I was going to develop a doogh drink line and the adult version would include vodka. It could take off!

😬

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

How embarrassed should I be that Instagram figured out how much I like videos of bearded dragons having their nose skin removed when they are peeling? (people call them nose trumpets!!!)

You’ll excuse while a laugh that Spencer Cox has declared a state of emergency due to the lack of water while he actively and very vocally supports a data center.

Got a notification from a medieval copyright lawyer

just a dad taking his kids out for a nice lunch

reminder that one of the most promising emerging treatments for glioblastoma, the most lethal of all cancers, is customized MRNA vaccines, which HHS under Trump now refuses to fund: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

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.
