i remember scientists saying 20 years ago that climate change-fueled wildfires would darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away. but republicans said that was a lie, so now climate change-fueled wildfires darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away every summer

I definitely would’ve believed it even back then. There’s an entire setting where an Arcology (think “smart building” cranked up to 11) is taken over by the AI agent… Oh crap. That’s the next thing that’s going to end up defictionalized.

There quite literally needs to be memorials to the fallen in Minneapolis. This is a resistance worth memorializing in the most literal of ways.

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.
Screenshot of a reddit post: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly.

A screenshot of ChatGPT's response. It is a side view of a foetus gestating in the uterus. The foetus is head-up with no umbilical cord or placenta. Behind the uterus is the rectum, which is unlabelled. Trailing down from between the rectum and spine, extending beneath the buttocks to the inner thigh is a yellow line labelled "pudendal nerve. At the front is an oval-shaped part labelled "cervix". And then we really struggle to image describe this bit. The uterus and the bladder are both attached to a single part which is long inside, then extends downwards into a penis with a single exist. This penis is labelled "rectum".

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

And now for something completely different...
Humorous description the five stages of grief through a series of margarine containers.
Each container aligns with a stage. Each stage's label humorously reflects the emotional progression.

1. Denial: A yellow tub labeled "I can't believe it's not Butter!" with vibrant blue and red lettering.

2. Anger: A square yellow container marked "What, not butter!" in bold black text.

3. Bargaining: A cylindrical yellow tub labeled "Could it be Butter?" with an image of corn and broccoli.

4. Depression: A rectangular container with green letters saying "Unbelieveable this is not butter" in both English and Chinese.

5. Acceptance: A yellow tub plainly labeled "Margarine," with additional text indicating it is "Unsalted" and "Kosher for Passover."

As much as we may wish to deny it, we are often motivated by fear more than anything else. It is a hard way to live. But true warriors pledge to meet those fears shoulder to shoulder, to stand against them together. In doing so, we are motivated against fear, not by it.

I will never forget this article as long as I live
Did Katie see Stephen as the Sebastian Valmont of the Trump set? It’s unclear. What was clear was that Waldman became a virtual extension of Miller’s team. The story lines she shared with the press might have come directly from his mouth. Migrants, she said, were “violent mobs.” The caravans, she told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade, were publicity stunts. After a few months of holding off, Nielsen effectively signed family separation into policy. According to the new book Separated, by MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff, Waldman told him that the intention of putting children in cages was to shock—just as Miller had said. She took a number of trips to the border, which she chronicled on Instagram: Katie, wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses, grinning, with the caption, “living my best life at the border wall.” As she later told Soboroff, “DHS sent me to the border to see the separations for myself—to try to make me more compassionate, but it didn’t work.” The admission didn’t surprise college classmates I spoke with; one says that “I genuinely believe there’s something wrong with her. She lacks a moral compass and [demonstrates] elements of a sociopath.” When pressed by Soboroff as to whether she was a white nationalist, she said no, but that immigrants should assimilate. “Why do we need to have Little Havana?” she mused.

Norovirus is a nonenveloped virus. That means it has a capsid or protein shell that protects it from alcohol and soap. You must wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. But, washing with soap and warm water won't kill the virus! When done properly, the virus gets removed by being washed away.
