Every six months or so I have to explain to someone that tuberculosis is still with us. Timer reset to zero today.
Immunocompromised folks (or folks on chemotherapy) have to deal with this reality more.
(And some of the meds for TB can make you psychotic*).

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Just to be unvague, I liked Frankenstein (2025). Saw it a second time.
I am more obsessed with the book than most people and I don't care that the film didn't hew to it (what most people think of as the book is really what they've seen on screen anyway).
Not perfect, but what film is?

If the Trump administration wants more babies, it shouldn’t let poor families go hungry

I have never used it.
I have never written a prompt.
I've never been tempted to.
Every AI feature that I can turn off has been nuked on all devices.

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Now watching a bunch of people who say The Shining (film) documents an MK ULTRA experiment.
I mean, I'll listen to every conspiracy theory at least once.
It's not like the CIA didn't do crazier things. A glance at the declassified files will show that.

Diary of a Middle Aged Karateka:
Partnered with a kid who kept kicking me on the knee (target was thigh or calf).
Then we grappled and he made a move that would have dislocated his shoulder if I hadn't dropped him (and myself).
So I taught him some locks and dirty moves like eye gouging.

A little known fact is how, after exposure to water you sometimes have to change your bulletproof vest (some manufacturers have waterproof treatment, others say dry it before depending on it for protection).
Anyway, water bad.
So, when hit with mustard...😁 see where I'm going?
