@yegrutabaga.bsky.social I had a dentist appt earlier today.
Instead of going back to work, I took the rest of the day off.
Ended up pulling some weeds that have come through sidewalk cracks.
Will make it a bit easier to run my shovel over when it snows.

I am forcing my friend, whose mom was in Highlander fandom and wrote Highlander fanfic back in the day, to explain Highlander to me. I will be updating this thread with my findings.

IGN @ign.com · Sep 14

Former Superman actor Henry Cavill was injured while training for the Highlander reboot, delaying the film.

I don't know you but it's weird seeing you in all-black clothing!

Had to click and backtrack a few posts to see which team this referred to.

I realise "the captain is injured" is a big clue but I didn't have it in me to go through teams and captains to figure this out.

I've had a long day at work. I'm tired. 🥴

does anybody know a good history of medicine that covers the era when laboratory tests became more common? specifically i’m looking for something that would cover/go into detail about how reference ranges for “normal” lab results were determined.

I tried to look for a GIF but of course it's too niche to be in the library.

I was trying to find an old tweet about Hamlet and Ophelia. Google AI thought I was accusing it of killing my dad, and also screwed up the most famous line in The Princess Bride.

AI Overview

This phrase, "My father was also killed. by you," is famously from the movie The Princess Bride and is spoken by the character Inigo Montoya. It is a line used to express revenge and a lifelong quest for justice after a villain kills the hero's father. It is not a literal statement from a language model but a quote from a work of fiction, meaning Google did not kill your father.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

My sister is a Speech Therapist.
Her prof showed Looney Tunes clips bec every character has a speech impediment.

So now when she watches Looney Tunes as an adult she gets the references of pop culture that she didn't when she was a kid.
But she also knows what impediment each character has.

I was thinking about the Yellow Pages the other day.

Unless you had a favourite pizza place whose number you memorised, I seem to recall this section always bookmarked.

I still recall phone numbers of some of my friends' parents.

Because like my parents, they've kept their landlines and haven't changed their numbers.

I also find it a bit weird that Taiwan is included in this.
I confess that out of all the countries named on this list, Taiwan isn't one I give much thought to in general, but maybe that's just me.
