This little hop that seals use to boing along the ground actually has a name, and that name is: GALUMPHING. The harbor seal has fused hip bones preventing them from moving their hind flippers under their pelvis to walk on land like sea lions.

I really a lot of fluffy queer romance novels these days and every time there’s something about colleges or therapists it’s so hard to not be like “it does not matter he was your childhood friend, fucking him three weeks after he was in the group therapy session you ran is an ethical violation!!”

Talk to people irl, even smart people, and you'll quickly find that the vast majority do not know that AI makes things up, or plagiarizes, or destroys the environment. Knowing the things about AI we take as given here is like knowing internet memes; people who aren't Very Online tend to have no clue

as someone who lives in one of Alabama's most tornado prone stretches, every article like this terrifies me. if you do not live in a place where surprise death funnels drop not irregularly from the sky, it's hard to explain the weird bond you develop with the person who warns you about them!

Outstanding reporting of a situation that is at once so fucked up and also so difficult to explain to people without a ton of context. I don’t know how I get my tech-ignorant 70yr old step-dad to understand what’s happening here.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

This sucks. Digital sewing patterns are nice but a huge pain in the ass to print out, tape together, and cut, and I find that the quality of the instructions vary WIDELY (some are really not good). Resources like this that I wrote about previously are so important: www.theverge.com/23169321/com...

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

In general any history of trans medicine needs to start from the fact that, for most of its history, psychiatry believed gender conformity was itself a measure of health. This fueled a long history of institutionalization and medical violence against women, intersex people, and queer people.

When all is said and done, Azeen Ghorayshi at the New York Times will go down in history as helping to cause incalculable damage to an entire generation of trans kids. I hope advancing her career is worth dead trans kids. She's absolute scum.
