I thought teaching a creative problem solver to code is easy. The reverse is much harder. So as a creative problem solving exercise, coding would probably be safe from AI. I had forgotten that Project Managers, and therefore execs, believe that coding is glorified typing.

I honestly don't understand the hand wringing about 5-4 on the 14th. Do you not remember Scalia clearly and repeatedly telling you the 14th didn't apply to women, or was it just not a problem when they were only trying to exclude women? Did you think Scalia was not representative of conservatives?

obsessed with thomas. happy pride 🪿🌈✨

tumblr post with a screenshot of an article titled “Blind Bisexual Goose Named Thomas Who
Spent Six Years in a Love Triangle With Two Swans And Helped Raise 68 Babies Dies at The Ripe Old Age Of 40”

subheading: He's a bit much

MAY 29, 2024

RIP to the legend

tumblr post continues

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
(link to Thomas’ wikipedia article)

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

• He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
• Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
• Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
• When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
• Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
•Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
• As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
• His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
• Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper.
He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
• Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

A book cover with a picture of a midcentury motel, with an old-fashioned sign proclaiming it to be "The Sun Down Motel." Below is a No Vacancy sign, with only the vacancy part lit up.

I often find myself making plans for things people find incredibly distasteful. Plans for when people/pets die. No one wants to talk about it, and look at me like I'm insane but It's gonna happen. We can't stop it. Maybe it's better to plan when your NOT bawling. Is that an autistic thing?
