Oh no. There is a woman in the waiting room who is crying. Clearly a recurrence. I hope she gets unexpected good news back there.

I still remember the look on the ultrasound tech's face when I asked to see the image. She said, "the doctor will be in to see you in just a second..." and lowered her head as she walked out.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

There's been a lot of talk about what women should say to their sons, but what about our husbands? Particularly those over 45? Mine reveres his mother and treats me well, but I fear he lacks the self-esteem to challenge his peers. Violent acts, sure, but I'm not sure abt everyday toxic masculinity.

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

While I have you here, let me also link to an article I wrote years ago about how to talk to your daughters about sexual violence—without blaming them, shaming them, or restricting their freedoms.

I’m seeing a new allergist-immunologist and today he brought up this study about how much Astepro nasal spray, which I use daily, appears to decrease the likelihood of COVID, flu, RSV, etc. I have barely gotten a cold since I started using it but had no idea why. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

For funsies, I looked up the cost to attend UMem. In 1990, I got full tuition/fees with a 26 ACT and 3.5 GPA. I only had to pat about $300/semester for books and lived at home. With those same stats enrolling now, I would get tuition, but be on the hook for $4k in fees & books. Fn Republicans. 😡

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.
