Decent, but only in moderation. As seen at the end of @PeterSinger's TED talk.

this is NOT a vegan sandwich because it is a not-vegan shape. Please consult the vegan shape guide to avoid future mistakes!

correct, some shapes are vegan, some are not vegan, and some are neither, it's all rather complicated

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum:

the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is a fantastic collection of Egyptian artifacts curated by an unreliable narrator. they're subtle about their bias in the main collection, but in the Alchemy exhibit they strongly imply that they made certain scientific discoveries centuries before anyone else.

I just double checked and it's actually just Claude and Deepseek that can't take video as input.

gemini is underrated, especially for the cost, but I encounter FAR more mysterious failures with Gemini than any other model. it's also the only frontier model that can take video as input and virtually no one takes advantage of this.

the freemasons are still around, two of them were my coworkers at a restaurant.

one of them told me their Masonic lodge made a float for a parade and the Catholic priest made a big point of blessing every float except for theirs.

A medium shot shows a small, medium-brown and yellow-shelled tortoise resting inside a brown, textured watering tray. The tray, filled with shallow water that has slight ripples and a few dried leaves at the bottom, is placed within a dark grey slatted enclosure. Only the tortoise's front left leg and head are in the water, with its dark, shiny eyes wide open and pointing forward. The tortoise faces the right corner of the tray, its rough legs slightly bent, while its carapace (upper shell) sits in the center of the frame. Water reflections can be seen on the wet parts of the tortoise and the tray.

Spring is here which means Tortellini is active again.

Patriot was an early-ish Amazon original that was cancelled after two seasons. It's an incredibly good dark dramedy, but it wasn't for everyone and took its time setting up its payoffs.

my guess is that the final implementation of the new Android platform policy will be similar to the Meta Quest's: you can sideload whatever garbage you want but only if you go through a bunch of steps to "register as a developer" that most grandmas couldn't be fast talked through by a scammer.

I had my wife - who majored in physics because she found it to be easy and liked space - read this series of posts. she stared intensely for several pregnant moments, said "what", started laughing and handed me back my phone.

A US flag with a wooden pole is mounted at an angle into a light grey-painted, vertical-panelled siding. The fabric flag drapes naturally, featuring a blue canton with white stars in the upper-left, and alternating red and white stripes covering the rest. It hangs in front of a weathered-grey wall and an angled overhang, with a single screw present in the upper right.

I asked my Chinese friend why he put up this insultingly small flag. He said the HOA recommended he put up an American flag so burglars would think he had a gun.

same, half the time I can't tell if his AI posts are real or the LLM equivalent of Patriot's pipe jargon.

there are several mnemonics about traditionally good medical specialties, but they're all good for different reasons, e.g. EM is good because it's shift work, you clock in and you clock out.

PEDRO: psych, emergency, derm, radiology, ortho

ROAD: radiology, ortho, anesthesiology, derm

one of the great whiffs of Shadowrun was the writers created a setting where population = magical power, broke up every large country in the world besides India, and didn't realize that this would make India THE global superpower.

Yarvin's ex-fiance/baby momma/ has VERY obliquely tweeted about their custody/child support/ dispute which I believe was resolved in her favor. It would be too perfect if she used some of his public writings against him.

ClaudeGov is the only LLM currently allowed on top secret networks, so yes Hegseth has definitely used Sonnet 4.5 and probably considers it essential for doing his job.

I wouldn't be surprised if Barron was the patron of one or more foreign e-girls. He's highly recognizable and cannot trust the confidence of anyone that he isn't paying, so a transactional relationship with an English OF girl is the way to go. He also knows his dad will pardon him if necessary.

platner is going to deflect by becoming Israel's strongest antisemitic soldier. he's going to look straight into the camera and say we must give the IDF as many 9000 pound bombs as they want so they won't use the weather control satellites to destroy our crops and this will win over swing voters.

several months ago on Instagram I saw a very slightly off video of an e-girl dancing. in the replies someone said it was an AI body/face swap of a real e-girl. they were right.

I don't think I would have noticed anything in the first place if it was made by today's SOTA models.

one of the petty benefits of living in California is that tons of my friends and neighbors have delicious fruit trees that produce way more than they can eat. I can get tangerines, persimmons, lemons, several varietals of orange, pluots, peaches, plums, and apples for FREE!
