Not sure my description will live up to the hype but it's a mauve velour tracksuit, very soft. It comes with a zip hoodie and I'm wearing it over a white t shirt. (My final destination is having a heat wave!)

Lady complimented my travel outfit. I happily reported that it's from Costco, and now she's on the hunt. Soft comfort is the way to go for travel days but this also looks good.

Apparently regular yogurt counts as a "liquid" ... and we're still not allowed to have wine openers. Sigh.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.

Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

I ordered their add-on keyboard for iPhone. It's ... okay. Not quite wide enough to be great, and I think the coming phone looks wider which will be nice for you! (I'm not leaving my iPhone anytime soon but either they did something that makes typing worse or my hand/eye coordination is declining.)

Take a seat and admire the view. This morning was just incredible here in Glastonbury. Intense colour that started well before sunrise. I took quite a few so will post more later. When I see intense colour like this, I tend to rush around & panic that I can't be in ten different places all at once 😂

Always lay your baby down to sleep on their back in a product designed for safe sleep.

A baby sitting in a catapult in a suburban backyard. The baby seems surprised to be there. The text reads: Is this a safe sleep environment for your baby? No! This is a catapult! Put your baby to sleep flat on their back in a crib, bassinet, play yard, bedside sleeper or other product designed for safe sleep. If your baby falls asleep in a car seat or other product not designed for sleep, move them to a safe sleep space.

Units of measurement? More like units of BETRAYAL qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: In this crazy mixed-up world, at least one thing's for certain: a horse produces one (1) horsepower!
T-Rex: *satisfied sigh*

T-Rex: Because otherwise the measurement would be INSANE!

T-Rex: Can you even imagine living in a world where horses DON'T produce one horsepower, Dromiceiomimus?
Dromiceiomimus: I simply can't! You ask the impossible - I'd sooner imagine a new colour!
T-Rex: I'D sooner imagine what sound tastes like than imagine life in a world where one horse doesn't produce one horsepower!!

Utahraptor: Er, T-Rex...
T-Rex: No. NO.
T-Rex: Utahraptor, no!!

Utahraptor: The average horse can output over 14 horsepower in bursts -
T-Rex: Okay, but that's only over a short time, so -
Utahraptor: - and they can sustain over SEVEN horsepower across longer periods.
T-Rex: NO! NOOOOO!

T-Rex: God? Is it okay if I let this fact drive me crazy?
God: HONESTLY DUDE IT'S BEEN DRIVING ME UP THE WALL TOO
God: IT'S LIKE

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.
