This is the best thing I've read all day and would absolutely fit seamlessly into a Dave and Morley story

Tfw you realize you don't have to just use your simple syrups for mocktails and your yogurt parfaits ascend to a whole new level.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

One of the girls I knew in university married a guy whose last name was Pickup and I cannot imagine how many friends' Buy Nothing posts she has accidentally been tagged in by now

Would anyone like to hear some jokes from a preschool aged kid who is way too wired for bedtime?

This is an unapologetic Island Way Sorbet stan account

Tfw you get a dopamine hit from using up things you already own but you also get a dopamine hit from trying cool new things and the two preferences are constantly in conflict

I think enough people know now that I can be more candid on about what's going on in our personal life (though if we're also on FB or Insta please wait to reference it there unless we announce it ourselves).

Bought a bunch of produce this week and used all of it before it went bad, do I get an award for this?

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

So you think the enchantress at the beginning of Beauty and the Beast is aware that collective punishment violates the terms of the Geneva convention?

Just finished this baby blanket for friends of ours who are due next month and I'm so excited about how it turned out!

Not to become even more obnoxious or anything but I've started challenging myself to get in 30g protein and 10g fiber at breakfast and because all the prepackaged bars that offer those amounts taste like chocolate-drizzled sawdust I've actually been cooking breakfast for myself.

Wait, did anyone else know that the maximum dose of cough drops is 12/day? Have I been overdosing on halls my entire adult life?

Tfw you have an ear infection so you end up wearing your Pentecost fit to urgent care instead of church

I cannot begin to describe how much I hate this. What search engine should I be using instead?

Not to be insufferable but I got two of those body composition scans done a week apart and I gained 2 lbs of muscle and that was before I even started strength training! It was just the increased protein letting the aquafit I was already doing work better. So I guess it's not a scam after all...

I've been trying to add more protein and fiber to my diet because I was definitely not getting enough of either (especially the fiber) and it's wild how quickly this that rewritten my entire food personality.

Austrian snacks for Eurovision! Salty snacks by Snackline (paprika crisps, bacon crisps, pretzels), Mohnflesserl (braided poppyseed rolls), Tyroler cured ham, smoked gruyere, Liptauer (paprika) and pumpkin seed cheese spreads, veggies, and Almdudler (carbonated lemonade with alpine herbs)

I have, unfortunately, been somewhat successfully influenced by the protein influencers and now Google searching things like "protein London fog is this anything"

what every “how to incorporate AI in your humanities classroom” article/email/workshop looks like to me

My favourite part of the yearly Internet advertising cycle is all the Mothers' Day bra ads because I will eat my hat if anyone has ever actually bought their mom a bra for any occasion

Went to see &Juliet yesterday and picked up this utterly ridiculous piece of merch for my correspondence.

Slowly acquiring all the backyard birds as earrings by different makers. I don't recall who made the cardinals but I got them at Next Time Around in Cambridge

A fun thing about my daughter is that she is physically incapable of seeing a pair of decorated Crocs without immediately yelling "Jibbitz" at her highest volume setting. It's basically Pavlovian.

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

The thing about growing up as the child of two pedants is that you quickly learn a wide variety of phrases for correcting people. EG just hit me tonight with "as we have already established" LMAO

Wow guess I really got that one wrong huh? Turns out several types of weapon formed against me will prosper. And like, really easily

“making it a bit less fraught for older men to mentor younger women” is another genuine advantage of remote work

"On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the global Jewish population stands at 15.8 million... a figure that remains below pre-World War II levels." www.ynetnews.com/jewish-world...

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

A lot of my work is in tourism and I recently presented a report to one travel company about how Google's AI summary misrepresented some of their destinations. Highlights included: - Inventing non-existent parking - Inventing a dinner course included in the price - Inventing a whole-ass LAKE

Brought home a pint of the new sea buckthorn sherbet from Four All Ice Cream to try and it is unbelievably good! Like an even lighter and brighter creamsicle (and the use of coconut milk both makes it dairy free and adds extra flavour that makes it taste even better). 10/10 stars, would buy again.

This is extremely worth reading.

Our latest piece of wall art by Permanent Pallets, purchased at Next Time Around in Cambridge. There are lots more gorgeous pieces still available, including another one in this vein.

Carrot cake trifle: carrot cake, butterscotch pudding, biscoff cookie crumbs, and cream cheese whipped cream Not pictured: the world's messiest kitchen counter

EG, forlornly, watching me spread butter on my raisin toast: "I wish you would have the same breakfast as your daughter." Reader, she had an herb and garlic cream cheese raisin bread sandwich 🤮🤮🤮

IDK, I think war is bad, but it's especially bad when we're the side double tapping aid workers, hitting schools, and threatening to destroy absolutely essential for civilians infrastructure.

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

Hyperfixation of the week: there is apparently a field called “forensic hairdressing” where people try to reconstruct ancient hair techniques. Below is one from Ancient Rome ca. 120 AD. The leading figure is a hairstylist-turned-archaeologist named Janet Stephens who also does video tutorials. Cool!

The thing about AI is that I understand there are tasks you would like technology to do for you, makes all the sense in the world, but I have no idea why any of those tasks would be “write a book” or “perform a song” or “act in a movie” or a lot of the rest of this shit

Why yes, it was my kid who excitedly yelled "like in Shrek!" when the person leading children's time talked about Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.

Dear Christians who like to appropriate Judaism: Jesus did NOT have a Passover seder, (that developed after the fall of the 2nd Temple in 70 CE) but he WAS commanded to clean leaven from his house, so if you want the fun! parts of being a Jew, you can enjoy scrubbing your fridge like I am now 💕

For my fellow paw patrol hating parents of young kids, my daughter recently got into Pupstruction on Disney+ instead and it's so much better!

Slowly building a collection of earrings that will allow me to become the liturgical equivalent of Ms. Frizzle. I finished these this afternoon, just in time for Sunday.

This Day in Labor History: March 25, 1911. 146 workers die in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in New York City, a horrible workplace disaster that only mattered because rich people saw the people making their clothes die! People still die making your clothes. But you don't see it, so whatever, right?

Actual quote from recently, in a class test where AI wasn't allowed: "But how can I write code without AI?" 😐 Watching ChatGPT do your homework is *not* learning. A lot of students are vibe studying through their degrees and not gaining basically any knowledge of what they're doing
