ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

If the Cars universe is populated entirely by sentient vehicles, are the vehicles themselves alive, or are they like hermit crabs and are just shells for softer organic creatures inside?

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Sad to think that at this point in his career if actor and comedian Steve Martin were to die from accidentally getting shot through the head with an arrow, it wouldn't even be that funny or ironic anymore. It would mostly just be a horrific tragedy

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Hey folks, if you aren’t already vaccinated, or don’t know your status, get vaccinated and protect babies who may be too young to get their shots. It’s easy and painless, and mine was free with my insurance, so talk to your healthcare provider and do the thing!
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Healthcare for trans kids saves their lives at significant rates.
To borrow a Vonnegutism, anyone who thinks kids shouldn’t have this life saving care can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. They can take a flying fuck at the moon.
Protect trans kids and stop persecuting them.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
