Alzheimer’s research was cut in the name of DEI. The cancellations represent $15m in grants that study how discrimination affects long-term brain health, with millions of which have already been invested. People who were supported by these grants are not getting paid. 🧪 archive.today/Wfdhb

Using an AI statement to prove you didn't use AI in your trailer is peak modern tech efficiency. We respect the sheer laziness.

hey guys something really funny is happening. System 3 released a trailer for a James Pond retro collection, and top to bottom every single thing in it except one Amiga sprite is AI generated. The comments are eviscerating. They had to put up an article that proves it's not AI. The article is AI.

The one big marker of age that no one talks about is: Have I added salt or have I forgotten to add? These days I m facing this often and I have to scoop a bit of the curry or dish into my palm to taste it to know. "Oh I already added salt, great!"

A rare unexpected occurence in my tiny window garden. Blooms of sanseveria (snake plant). It is said that you could've a snake plant for decades and still not see it bloom. I guess I got lucky! 🌱☘️ #gardening It has a mild sweet fragrance and looks so pretty 😍

Good morning, friends. ☀️🩵 We’re so quick to measure our days by what we finished. Maybe today, measure yours by the moments that made you smile, the kindness you gave, and the joy you let yourself have. Those count, too. Especially those.

So I finally caught up with Task (streaming on jio hotstar in India). I got a jiohotstar subscription free with my mobile recharge. Task was slow burn + gripping. After a long time I binged a few eps in 1 go. Tom Pelphrey was a revelation- I haven't watched much of him earlier. Good plot.

Workplace politics (corporate) sucks. Why can't it be simple to just go to work, do ur job, come back home and get paid at the end of the momth? But no, u r expected to navigate murky waters, perform firefighting between people, get mud slinged on urself, manipulate ppl, scheme ur way & more.

What have you been watching/reading? (Sorry again I've been away). I haven't done any reading lately but watched quite some stuff, from pilots of shows to cinema. S1 Ep1 of The Madison. Nice to see veteran actors like Michelle Pfeiffer getting key roles, first ep tackled grief & other themes.

Favorite hybridizers: Arthur Bliss. 'Tom Tit' from 1919 is a nice little MTB sized purple with a pretty satin sheen. Sadly I only have this single photo of it. Must not have been much of a bloomer while I had it, but it sure is cute. #iris🌱

Since tonight’s episode is all about empathy, we should acknowledge a #TNGSunNight passing. Shelly Desai, born in Bombay and who moved to the U.S. to become an engineer & became an actor instead, passed away at the age of 90 this week. He played one of the first Bolians in Star Trek. #DesiWatch

And if any editors out there want to give this book a paper home in N. America or elsewhere beyond S. Asia, well, you know what to do. THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR won a British Fantasy Award, a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, & was nominated for the Locus Awards.

Jesus "They grabbed some pads from their house... 'We drove in through the back alley...It felt safer than parking out front...' E. let them in through the back door. And that's how, after several hours, 5 people & a citywide network of volunteers got a 12-year-old girl her first menstrual pad."

NPR spoke to one watcher, a 69-year-old woman who asked to be referred to by her initials: J.B. She was standing in the blustering wind.

"To be honest, I'm scared," she said.

Like many volunteers NPR spoke to, J.B. said that fear has led her to become more resolute.

"I don't care if it's 20 below. We'll dress for it. We'll be here. This is way more important than a little chill air," she said.

Ade and Fanny say those street watchers help them feel safer. So they decided to do it.

They grabbed some pads from their house, and together, carefully, made their way to E.

"We drove in through the back alley," Ade recalls. "It felt safer than parking out front, where there's been ICE agents."

E. let them in through the back door.

And that's how, after several hours, five people and a citywide network of volunteers got a 12-year-old girl her first menstrual pad
