Partner ended up making the chicken soup because guess who woke up sick.
Last week partner made leek and potato soup for us to have during the week and this weekend I made split pea soup. Next weekend I might do a chicken soup so I can turn it into a pot pie.

Reading Natalie Haynes books Pandora's Jar and Divine Might were some really great insights into scholarly work.
What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

My cats breed is a combination of goblin, Night Fury, and a little bit of orange chaos (they are all black).
So, what breed IS your cat?
None.
(None breed, left beef.)
Wha? How?
Cat breeds are just NEW. Despite them living with us for thousands of years, we only have about 40-150 years of cat breeds existing, and they aren't out mixing with random cats.
97-99% of cats are breedless!
None.

I'm so tired of everything being called 'AI'. And programs getting renamed to 'apps' and everything making its own app...
Spell check existed long before genAI and in its most basic function is not genAI. Spell check is code. It's a function. It checks against a database of available words. Spell check in certain programs, however, may have been made worse by running it through genAI.

this thread details with an insider's view how the nytimes pushed anti-trans bigotry
when i say the NYTimes deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, crosswords, connections, and wordle, the wirecutter, the athletic, and all their podcasts.

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

I keep wanting to say something, and I keep not knowing what to say.
The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

Also, 4 Republicans voted nay (Cruz, Lee, Moran, and Paul) & 3 didn't vote (Daines, Hawley, & Moody). Meaning this bill absolutely could not have passed this stage without the support of the Democrats.

I'm trying to remain calm but my shy, doesn't want to be touched cat didn't run away when I sat next to him on the bed. And he faced away from me in a "well I'm going to try to go back to napping" attitude.
