"Thank you for your attention to this matter." "You're welcome." The chron TL is a blessing. Thank you, @playboy.com. 😂
A screenshot from my Bluesky app showing a Trump post from months ago about primarying Thom Tillis that ends in Trump's common tagline "Thank you for your attention to this matter." above a post by Playboy that links to the "40 best butts in Playboy". The post reads, "You're welcome" above a photo of a model's nearly bare backside.

Tillis has been all over MSNow for 2 days lying his ass off and sounding stupid. He told Luke Russert he could go ahead and vaccinate his 10-wk old baby for measles if he wants to, and did not comprehend that NO PEDIATRICIAN will vaccinate a 10-wk old baby for MMR. That's why we need herd immunity!

As a technology it is an absolute blight and the companies that own and control it should be held fully responsible, including criminally responsible, for every single harm.

I read the Duncan post in sections over the course of days. It's got *so much* info and if you're like me you might need to go slow to absorb the reality of the cult-think. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that these people have multi-national influence on every aspect of our lives.

Would love to see how many of those transcriptions need to be amended (anecdotes from patients strongly imply it's an issue), and whether that correction time is factored into the supposed 16,000 hours of time-saving.

So, here's the thing they can't erase about AI-generated "work" no matter how much they try to cover up the environmental cost of data centers, the theft of human work to feed into the woodchipper, etc.: It's still just faking it. Your AI-written email is a fake email. Your "art" is fake art.

Head's up for fans of #FatBearWeek and Katmai National Park: Donations to the Otis Fund are being matched by Explore[dot]org until October 3. The Trump Admin made a steep funding cut to Katmai's Sled Dog Kennels, so they could really use the extra help. (👋 #UglyDogs!) No donation is too small!

A multitude of Robins came to the yard for their daily Bath Wars, and they brought a Downy Woodpecker with them! Downy abandoned the battle zone. 🪶
A small black and white woodpecker perched in the shade on a maple tree. Its chest and belly are white, its wings black with white spots, the face has horizontal black and white stripes making it look masked, and on the back of its head there is a bright red patch. In the background is a fence and many fir trees, and also a madrona trunk with peeling bark. A back view of the same Downy Woodpecker in darker shadow, showing a white stripe down its back and a better view of its red spot. Also the tail is cocked sideways and shows off its detail: white edges with black spots, and a wide black center stripe. Behind it are the lime green leaves of the maple.

Several restaurants in my area are already countering this by requiring a credit card to reserve, and if you don't show, they charge a hefty fee. Also, I would be thrilled by the return of human-staffed box offices. Sometimes you wanna just walk up and buy a bleacher seat the old fashioned way!

Sometime this week, someone posted a thread about physiological responses to long-term stress/existential dread, and giving yourself grace if you constantly feel on the verge of burnout these days. I wanted to share it with someone and can't find it — anyone know what I'm talking about and have it?

This claim has been around since the advent of birth control. My mom's generation warned of it, my peers said it, and my daughter's peers believe it. Spawning and spreading lies to control women's reproductive independence is as predictable as ever.

It's implied in the conversation, but I want to make it explicit. From the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington Cemetery is a hard-won road of peace, both historically and symbolically. Donald Trump wants to convert it to war, as he does everything he touches.

Americans who get paid vacation generally get only 2 weeks per year. If we want to take a vacation or visit family across the country, it's not like we have any choice but to pay the fare. Our options are limited and at least equally as expensive! They have us over a barrel and they know it.

That conversation Margaret Atwood recalled having with a male friend? The one where men are afraid women will embarrass them, while women are afraid men will kill them? This is that. At the highest government level.
Paragraph from the reposted article: 

"It's absurd the FBI issued a thinly-sourced security alert about ICE agents' online dating troubles," Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People, said in a statement. [content highlighted by me-->] "It's equally ludicrous The FBI is spending taxpayer dollars to protect ICE agents from possible 'embarrassment' at the hands of a supposed 'small group of women's who might name and ridicule them online."
