Talking to myself again. As an alternative, here’s a Sunday morning Japanese woodblock with a dragon and flower kimono.

An antique Japanese woodblock depicting a kneeling woman in a turquoise colored kimono holding an object in her outstretched hand. The kimono is trimmed with bright floral and dragon patterns.

This is absolutely horrible. (Read this letter). And apparently very little has changed for university administrators.

Thank goodness for Seinfeld episode “The Smelly Car" (Season 4, Episode 21). I spilled a wasp trap, and the attractant got on my hand. A variety of soaps failed. Then I remembered: Tomato Sauce!! 😂 #comedy #irl #lifehack

Because I often wail about bad drivers, I must report a wonderful driver that was in front of me during rush hour #traffic today. A pickup truck driver. Took off at the left turn arrow’s illumination, blazing a trail for maximum drivers to follow. Bravo 👏 Photo credit: Jared Murray

As we're all looking to stretch our grocery budgets these days, thought I'd share this one. I was actually so impressed at how well she stretched the $ and how easy and healthy these meals were that I went to her site and bought her cookbook 😆 Get it, girl! youtu.be/eWgCeZSlA7M?...

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.”

WTF? Japan is trialing a drug that regrows human teeth by blocking USAG-1—a protein that keeps dormant tooth buds switched off. Phase I is done. Phase IIa in children with congenital tooth loss is next. If it works, dentures and implants could become obsolete.

Geophysicist & space physicist Marcia Neugebauer made the first direct solar wind measurements via instruments on the Mariner 2 spacecraft. She developed instruments used on Earth-orbiting satellites, Apollo lunar experiments & the Giotto mission to Halley’s Comet. Born #OTD in 1932. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering geophysicist and space physicist Marcia Neugebauer (born September 27, 1932) working at her desk during the mid-20th century. Sitting in an office setting, she leans forward slightly over her desk, looking directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and focused expression. She has short, bobbed light hair and wears a short-sleeved, collared white button-up blouse adorned with subtle vertical embroidered details down the front. In her right hand, she holds a pencil over large documents and charts with plotted scientific data curves spread out on the desk before her. To her right sits a large, vintage mechanical calculating machine with columns of buttons, characteristic of the 1960s computing era. The background features window blinds and office storage, creating an environment of rigorous research. The image captures the historical significance of a trailblazing woman in STEM whose work with these charts and calculations would confirm the existence of the solar wind via the Mariner 2 spacecraft.
