My pregnant daughter is having extensive scans because of her brother’s multiple birth defects. I think I am struggling emotionally more than my daughter. A new set of results today are only flagged and followed up on because of family history. It’s hard not to be paralysed with fear. /1

This Jack Smith v Eric Schmitt head-to-head in the latest hearing is absolutely hilarious! You can virtually see the egg on Schmitt’s face through the TV. And Amy Klobuchar is just dying.

Today I went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (along with 100,000 other people) with a person in a wheelchair. We caught the train to and from the ground. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of accessibility and awareness from all staff at the ground and on public transport. Let's keep this up.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Some clangers I've heard from this British commentator during the #CommonwealthGames swimming - 'He's got two brain tumours in his brain', 'The ones with two good legs are in front' (during a para-swim).

Sure, prenatal scans can now check for clefts and missing eyes. But decisions will need to be made if something is detected. I will not be able to relax during my daughter's pregnancy, let me tell you. (4)

Some exciting news - I am going to be a grandparent early next year. I need to temper my excitement because my son, brother to my daughter who is pregnant, was born with a number of birth defects which so far have not been linked to any chromosomal defect. (1)
