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.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Nine Goblins: A Tale of Low Fantasy and High Mischief
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Apropos of too many things lately, here's a spite poem I wrote a few weeks ago **makes unflinching eye contact while jamming more em dashes in** full disrespect to anyone writing with AI and also to the idea that we should change our voices and styles because the plagiarism machine is copying us
I will not cede my em dashes
I gathered them over countless afternoons in the languorous haze of foxing pages––breathing in the must of bygone times.

I unearthed them in a hundred many-branching conversations––no eye contact, just enthusiasm and did you know that rabbit trailing bliss.

I knelt at Emily Dickinson’s feet, and Emily Brontë’s, felt the press of punctuation against each shoulder––a knighting. A charge.

I will not cede them. I am oath-bound, sworn in fealty to complexity, to the broken, never-ending word. I must wield––.

I want to live." - Beyond ShameAn image showing all 9 Beyond novels and the 3 novellas, too!A selection of 3 1 and 2 star reviews with such classics as: "There is a decent story but it is lost because of the decadent sex scenes. if you are into that, you will enjoy this book" and "This was hunger games meets porn and it was just stupid... no thanks" and "hedonistic dystopian porn saga. the characters are strange and endlessly horny. nuff said."

I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of words in the last year talking about the very and scary signs that we are an AI bubble, and the exuberance fueling it. Today is the first time in a long time where I’ve talked substantially about the potential consequences. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what...

Whether or not you believe the bubble will burst, it’s hard to argue (not that anybody nobody bothers to try) with my recent reporting about the lack of data centers coming online or the fact that the majority of AI revenue comes from two companies that are, in the end, hyperscalers feeding themselves money. Nobody has presented any real argument as to how Oracle completes its data centers or avoids running out of money given the fact that it needs OpenAI to be able to pay it $70 billion or more a year in the next four years to survive. The lack of any real, thoughtful response to my assertions outside of ultra-centrists and people that can’t count is a sign that I’m onto something, and I take it as a badge of pride.

But what I haven’t done recently — not since AI Bubble 2027, at least — is try my own hand at extrapolating the future based on the things I have read, seen and reported on. 

Today, I’m taking a different approach, inspired by one of my favourite comic series. In Marvel’s “What If…?” writers asked questions that would entirely change the course of the Marvel Universe, such as What If The Fantastic Four Didn’t Get Their Powers, or Loki Was Worthy of Mjolnir.

Kudos to @qsyami.bsky.social for calling it: No. 29 is just one glorious bell hit. It rings the whole duration of the track, and if you can't hear it, that's because the sound drops 60 dB, to 1 000 000th of the energy at the strike. Don't turn the audio up, just feel it there, carrying on.
Spectrogram of track No. 29 from BTS's Arirang albmu, showing the spectral energy of many overtones from the beginning with this beautiful bell strike and how the fundamental (64.5 Hz, C2) lingers for the full 97 seconds of the recording.
