Yeah, I'm basically done at this point. Just running out the clock until my (early) retirement.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to letting all of that knowledge and experience fade away.

The cows have two _different_ bird flus - and that's even worse.

Beware of attempting to correct spellings of "faze"; English is awful.

I've had the inverse of this.
Entering the US I was asked to declare any foodstuffs I was bringing into the country, and, given I was indeed carrying some items from the UK with me, I declared them.
And that was how I got a lecture from an annoyed FDA official that "candy is not food".

I'd say "tip your surgeon" but US healthcare is expensive enough.

If it works for Kevin, are you going to consider growing your own?

I interpreted it the other way; that some _minimum_ level of person-ness has to be achieved before anxiety and depression manifest.

..which is to say: there is not necessarily class solidarity amongst capitalists - especially between a business that profits from denying medical interventions and another that profits from selling medical interventions.

There are no NHS services for adult ADHD diagnosis or treatment in North West London and their haven't been in at least six months.

Lowercase g? Could be some kind of interesting god!
Although....fear? Really? In my opinion, you want to shoot for awe at the minimum.

In fact, they are putting slurs _back_ into the tournament lists:

I learned the verb form looking up 3-letter words for Scrabble.
I wonder if they banned that in tournament play yet?

This is, of course, why what you should really want is to _slingshot_ Bezos into the Sun.
comment in response to

In the spirit of distraction: launching things into the Sun is really hard! In effect, you need enough delta-V to cancel out the speed of Earth around the Sun. Anything less and you just end up in some orbit.

Oh, this is the first I've heard of this particular discourse too.
I imagine it either comes from someone who's had a word wielded against them - or someone who desperately wants simple, hard-and-fast rules to help them navigate complex interpersonal relationships. I can sympathise with both.

Intent vs content: the argument shouldn't be over whether a word is allowed; it should be over how it is being used.
If someone's using "twink" to hurt others, sure, that's shitty behaviour and you should call it out - but the problem is the intent, not the word itself.

Anything else you can buy at leisure once you realise you need it.

Seconded. I would absolutely subscribe again if the money wasn't partly going to Substack's owners.

A large number of artists, esp. Japanese, appear to have come over in response to X changing their ToS to claim a right to feed anything posted to their LLM.

Right now, you can only embed animated GIFs from Tenor.
There's a whole can of worms around just enabling animated GIFs everywhere. No doubt some of it is bandwidth related - but there's also the safety issues around stopping assholes from posting deliberately-made epilepsy triggers.

There's 165 pages of it. The good summaries will be a while yet.
