I got back from the Mountain Goats concert to find that my dear mother went through her neighbor's trash to pull out a completely unused 1984 Suzuki Omnichord. I'm not saying today isn't the greatest day ever, but it's pretty close.

The Bear got me thinking: How long can you do shrinkflation at a fancy restaurant before there's literally no food on the plate?

1000 is a lot!! I mean the amount already was deeply concerning. It seems there’s no end to this.

Thank you for all your updates!

I have two DOGEs and they both want to fund science (although they are weirdly not fond of USPS)

I saw the Nature article (also a recommended read on the issue) but I am glad that a major news outlet is now covering it.

My email was blowing up re: study section cancelations and I find it pretty alarming. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Not a lot of coverage on this. I find it pretty concerning.

I logged into Twitter for the first time in a while to see what was going on and I saw they had an "explain this post" featuring their AI, Grok. I had it explain some of my posts. It described my Shiba Inu as a "Brittany" (as in the Brittany Spaniel). No, Grok, I'm Brittany. That's a Shiba Inu. 😑
