Looking at the court filing, she’s alleging much more than lax standards on AI studies - the suit outlines a pattern of IRB evasion and contravention on Mayo’s part that’s honestly very scary if true.

Ah found the piece that was bouncing around in my brain.

Oh this is giving me so many memories of The Silt Verses.

Wait isn't this basically typical homestead exemption on property tax though? That like over a dozen states already do?

Wait did Pepsi really do a WKUK Grapist skit, but for real?

So if I'm doing a stage two interview for a remote job tomorrow, I really should sneak in there that I have two ISPs for redundancy because the husband has his priorities, right?

this is a wild story that hasn’t broken into any national media yet

This is doing a lot to confirm people's priors, but I'm gonna need to see some evidence they aren't just recruiting from their buddies' legacy elite private schools to believe this isn't just good old boys networks justifying themselves after the fact.

And don't you dare say the Q word in an ER tonight.

Really growing to appreciate how the folks at Minute Cryptic have made the style of puzzle more accessible by freeing cryptic crosswords from the burden of tons of British slang and abbreviations that made them less accessible to an American audience.

Practicing my fast and loose routine and card tricks as a community service.

Wait since when could we drop more than 4 images in a skeet???

BREAKING: WHISTLEBLOWER reveals existence of SECRET THIRD MARIO BRO nintendo doesn’t want you to KNOW ABOUT

Eight hundred fifty one thousand firework shell rounds Eight hundred fifty one thousand Flashes in the night Eight hundred fifty one thousand firework shell rounds How do you measure, measure The blight?

So... does the schism stuff mean St. Mary's College is no longer a Catholic institution? Does SSPX own the college or just operate it?

Memory re:awful recipe stories unlocked: The time Mario Batali's PR agent decided he should include a cinnamon roll recipe (using pizza dough) in his sexual misconduct apology. Linked is the resulting Everywhereist article.

I might have a long term side project buzzing in the back of my brain.

Time to re-up my long-running dark humor observation: The fact that we got stuck with Dawkins and lost Gould first is a sign that Dawkins was at least likely right on the money on the non-existence of a benevolent God.

This is one heck of a post to drop the day after the MAHA mother suing the AAP for a RICO theory regarding the death of her twins (claiming vaccine injury) was just arrested for the murder of her own twins.

22 years ago today I released Salad Fingers.

WELCOME TO SCHISM WATCH 2026 WITH CLAIRE

I never took Calc I, college algebra, trig, business calc, or any math for liberal arts majors courses in college, but taught all of them as a grad student (either TA or primary instructor).

My college circus club's last show had about 6-8x this many attendees in a room that quickly became SRO.

Today's little combo in the hoop in the air was beats to come through the hoop into a horse, half-horse roll forward over the bar, and roll back up reversed into lion. I did forget to get video but it was very fun.

Every now and then I remind myself that the search engine AI assistants are generally terrible at cryptic crosswords.

cc @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social Mellification sighted!

I hate to say this but those first two Discworld novels are *rough* compared to the rest of them.

Alright, programming question. I am not exactly great at mobile development, but say I wanted to make a little app that's mostly an event schedule each weekend at a campground, with just some additional info (map, amenities, surrounding attractions, and staff directory). The rest is static, but it's

We've hit the point in Trump 2 where one of my gay acquaintances is like talking himself into conversion therapy, which is like... man, I dunno, you're already fucked, that ain't gonna make it better. If anything, more suicidal. But like enjoy your MAGA shit or whatever...

So anyway, on this, I have my Mon Ami Pierrot routine kinda sorta down for the one group but man I am struggling with my aerial hoop routine a month later and I hate how hard this game is.

In light of... this morning's SCOTUS stuff, well, PinkNews was getting a lot of clicks yesterday about KY's attempt to get trans teachers declared mentally ill. QueerKY actually has an explainer on the state procedure, and how, while yeah, it sucks and it's KY, it's also not likely to pass.

He or Alito or Thomas or Roberts have the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing. (Trump could even remedy that Title 31 deficiency for that coin at this hearing! It would be comedy gold.)

Actually longer, I've got two cirque showcases coming up and I need to be facepaint ready uuuugh. I don't actually enjoy being shaved but a necessary feature of good facepaint and clowning.

Something I love about federal judges is that the only penalty for having to file something listing all your delayed rulings is that you had to file something listing all your delayed rulings. But most of them are very motivated by that because you have to be competitive to get there.

This would be extra funny turnabout-is-fair-play because cops have figured out they can get videos taken down under DMCA by playing copyrighted music during high stakes scenarios. From 2022:

Presently speed-running some Python + ML stuff to satisfy a gap for an application window closing next month and... how did no one tell me neural nets are just iterated logits and ReLUs before now? I feel like I just learned a clever illusion was really just the dumbest thing the whole time.

RFRA MENTIONED

So Bsky open request, but say I kinda sorta wanted to have a business plan for a queer campground (entertainment geared toward gay men, but inclusive otherwise) - how do I put that document that the banks and the investors want together?

Worth noting here that nothing in the published evidence changed. Just a hack at the head of HHS was enough to shift behavior.

Man, folks are so primed to believe every suicide is a conspiracy that I happened across some FB weirdos that are saying Aaron Swartz was "Da Fedz" and uhhhh like... Y'all need to get help/learn about base rate prevalence/etc etc.

Attending a live performance of Wicked minutes after. "GOOD NEWS! She's DEAD!"

One of my favorite details about this episode is that one of the early contenders for an explanation of the prints was... a pair of kangaroos.

I was not sold on them in general until Ethan Chlebowski's video and doing some taste tests afterward, and I have since tried to use them a lot more.

That's right queens. Now is your time to shine.

Fun game of "spot the error" with these cards I picked up at the store.

On a related note, seeing how someone responds to the song Hey Brother is a decent though not perfect indicator of whether they were following The Adventure Zone: Balance when it was releasing, since this was one of the most popular animations from the time.

Eyyyy my Tidal recap is up.
