The problem with outdoor gas stations
A digital illustration of a rural gas station in the early evening. A big dragon with a silly blank stare on her face has landed on the roof of the gas station and build a nest for three blue eggs. On the ground, firefighters shut down the gas station and surround it with explosion warning signs - a nod to dragons' fire-breathing capabilities. A local resident asks to get just a small can of gas, and is denied by a firefighter. Cats wander all throughout the scene, and a distant firefighter pets one. The dragon seems wholly uninterested in breathing fire. Despite being a bird-boned creature, the dragon's weight has caused the roof to start cracking, so it has been reinforced with steel scaffolding. The colors are sunset pinks, glowing yellows, and cyans.

I think about this often, but actually according to a Harvard study, the leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US, is in fact: homicide. hsph.harvard.edu/news/homicid...

Women in the U.S. who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are more likely to be murdered than to die from obstetric causes—and these homicides are linked to a deadly mix of intimate partner ...

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

THis is actually a really good illustration of why LLMs are just...kind of not that good at a lot of the things they're sold as being good at: The thing doesn't fucking understand or know what the question is, it's doing pattern recognition and that breaks down on a long enough timescale.

The Devil You Know is an 8-part podcast series from the CBC and Sarah Marshall (host of You’re Wrong About…) about the Satanic Panic. “These thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found…” [cbc.ca]
cbc.ca
The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen
In the 1980s and 90s, Satan and his followers were accused of brainwashing children, sacrificing babies, and infiltrating North American society on a massive scale — yet these thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found. Even so, the narrative became embedded in our cultural memory, warp

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death. A mini medieval story time!
