@tkingfisher.com I just bought Astarion for a friend's birthday. He used to have a pet hamster named Boo. I know nothing about BG3 so have no idea if this would work in canon but can you tell me if there is any mention at all of Boo the miniature giant space hamster in Astarion???

The idea that GPs are ignoring guidelines and ‘overprescribing’ doesn’t hold water. Instead, look to our social and economic crises, says doctor of neuroscience Dean Burnett

This is awkward, but cleaning out my garage I discovered I literally have a pair of baby shoes that have never been worn. Checking my icebox for plums next.

Drawing of a person I passed in the park, who has baffled me with the snapshot of conversation I overheard. Speculation welcome.
Pen drawing, lazily coloured in with pencil. It is a woman with a hella hourglass figure. She is wearing short shorts and a crop top. She is smiling and walking while looking down at her phone, and she is carrying a bunch of flowers in cellophane. The lady is annotated with "perfect makeup", "not a hair out of place", "clearly works out a lot" and "HUGE bunch of flowers". Underneath her is quoted what I overheard: "so. I went to kiss him again. But I went for the SECOND him, not the actual him!"

@octopus.energy found a decent viewing spot, had a great view using binoculars as a projector, and crocheted an ecliptopus while I was waiting. #octoeclipse
A wide field with open sky. In the background are cranes, pylons and barford power station.A piece of paper with the shadow of a hand holding something over it. There is a bright crescent of the sun being projected through binoculars. Also on the paper, which is shiny, you can see a vague reflection of the hand holding the binoculars with the sun coming through them and glowing behind the hand too.A pad of lined paper with the crescent sun projected. Sat on top of the paper is a little black crocheted octopus. He has yellow eyes and one yellow tentacle.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

I wonder if the Black Cat roadworks crew want their barrier back?
A person in a red kayak is trying to lift a plastic road barrier out of the river. The barrier is all green and gross. The kayak and the barrier are all tangled under a treeThe barrier has been successfully retrieved and is carefully balanced on the back of the red kayak. The barrier is about 3 times the width of the kayak. You can also see ripples on the water because it was raining again.

On World Bee Day, it's important to be able to tell what's a bee and what's a colleague. #WorldBeeDay
Close-up of a fluffy Shrill Carder Bee feeding on a purple flower, dusted with pollen. Pale blue text reads: “If your manager runs a very small overstretched team, communicates mostly through high-pitched buzzing, and can only reliably be found in a handful of fields… that’s not your manager, that’s a Shrill Carder Bee.” An Ashy Mining Bee with black and silver-grey fur perched on a pale green leaf. Pale blue text jokes: “If your colleague prefers working alone, leaves little piles of mess behind, disappears when conditions aren’t ideal, and has sealed themselves inside a dirt tunnel… that’s not your colleague, that’s an Ashy Mining Bee.” The bee appears alert, with large dark eyes and long antennae.Close-up of a Patchwork Leaf-cutter Bee standing on a green leaf. Its striped body and fuzzy face are shown in detail. Pale blue text reads: “If your work bestie has been taking bits off the office plants, keeps carrying tiny circles of leaves around, and says they’re ‘working on a side project’… that’s not your work bestie, that’s a Patchwork Leaf-cutter Bee.” A fluffy Buff-tailed Bumblebee balances on purple flowers against a soft green background. Pale blue text jokes: “If your Executive Director runs a huge underground operation, is cute and fuzzy, and solves obstacles by biting straight through them… that’s not your Executive Director, that’s a Buff-tailed Bumblebee.”

Truly unprecedented levels of passive voice from the BBC when talking about a police car hitting a pedestrian.
Screenshot from a BBC news article about a police officer (Duthie) hitting and killing a pedestrian (Cameron). The screenshot reads "Duthie was responding to a report of a serious incident when the police car he was driving was in collision with Cameron as she crossed a road, the force said."
