Weather can be unpredictable like that. Never been to Lyon, but I know it as Lugdunum from Asterix. Is the food good? Also, you speak French, non?

Yeah, only the Chinese seem to be doing something about their pollution. Stay safe.

Hoping winter tires and AWD will get us home without trouble.

Picked this up from the library on Friday. Seems like a quick read, but I have assigned reading to get through first. I hate homework (even self-inflicted).

Ah, nice. I mean, where in France? Work or pleasure?

Just reading about the pollution worries me, how bad it is, not just because I have friends there.

We’re visiting the offspring. There’s snow here, and more predicted, and I have to drive a few hundred kilometers to get home. Fingers crossed.

OHAI! Hope you’re well. How’s the pollution, and everything?

Congratulations on the second semester. Welcome back. And time to fix your replies, so I don’t have to piggyback on others’.

Update: I was wrong about the nonexistence of papers; the Matter-Alchemy Theorem was sent to me. It’s an AI-generated, LaTeX-heavy document that looks like science, but isn’t. Cargo-cult bullshit. Quick AI analysis (quid pro quo) labeled it pseudoscientific word salad. Big surprise. DM for details.

I can imagine. It’s clearly gone out of hand. I saw a video report on Mathrubhumi News first. And then interview clips on social media, where the water bottle story and names of papers rang alarm bells. It’s appalling how nobody questions or fact checks anything. Hook, line, sinker. Embarrassing.

Got it. I hear they have no problems breeding in captivity.

What about all them Hollywood celebrities? Son, I am disappoint.

#TIL about Ajrak prints.

Tangentially, ഇസ്ലാമോഫാഷിസം മറ്റൊരു യാഥാർത്ഥ്യം. ഞാൻ ഏഴു കൊല്ലം അനുഭവിച്ചു. A lifetime of stories.

I’m not saying I endorse this, but I understand.

Clueless survivors who'd opt for non-survival if a painless way for it can exist

Eep.
