It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

Today's early Spring semester reminder that if your academic library doesn't have an eBook you want and/or tells you they can't provide it, it is most likely not the library staff's fault.
We can't buy what vendors refuse to sell.

The number of people who don't seem to realize this...
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Noooo
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Mainers have until tomorrow to reject a voter suppression effort pushed by Leonard Leo’s money and the unrelentingly deceitful Yes on 1 campaign.
Vote No on 1 and help get out the vote. #mepolitics open.substack.com/pub/amyfried...

Misinformation in Maine’s Voter Suppression Referendum Began with a Deceptive Title
Petition tactics hid absentee ballot limits. Question 1 proponents then used Newburgh ballots to mislead further.

As the leaves change color it’s time for everyone’s yearly reminder NOT to rake up the leaves!!!! Leaf litter is important for soil nutrition, healthier plants once spring comes, and biodiversity! Nature developed this yearly ritual for a reason 💖

Went to the stupid gym and did my stupid PT exercises (and more) because my stupid body won't just work the way it's supposed to. SIGH.

I have long felt like my feet, the right one in particular, aren't put together properly. Like the bones were mis-aligned. At PT yesterday we learned that I WAS RIGHT. I mean, it still sucks, but it's nice to be validated.
