I realise I have been remiss and have not posted the various items I have made in pottery class this semester. I decided to try again after a break of about five years.

I’ll probably pin this post so it’s easier to update it.

Disclaimer, I am not good at this by any means, but it’s fun.

I was invited to a con in Puerto Rico soon after the hurricane. They were rebuilding everywhere, parts of the island were still without power. Trump was of course screwing them over.

I didn't feel it was right to go, but I was told repeatedly to please come, they needed tourism back.

"As AI Enters the Operating Room, Reports Arise of Botched Surgeries and Misidentified Body Parts"
www.reuters.com/investigatio...
Screenshot of text reading At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients’ heads during operations. Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient’s nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured. Screenshot of text reading In May 2023, Dean was using TruDi in another sinuplasty operation when patient Donna Fernihough’s carotid artery allegedly “blew.” Blood “was spraying all over” – even landing on an Acclarent representative who was observing the surgery, according to a lawsuit Fernihough filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth against Acclarent and several manufacturers. One of Fernihough’s carotid arteries was damaged. She suffered a stroke the day of the surgery, according to her suit. Acclarent “knew or should have known that the purported artificial intelligence caused or exacerbated the tendency of the integrated navigation system product to be inconsistent, inaccurate, and unreliable,” the suit alleges. Screenshot of text reading The FDA requires clinical trials for new drugs, but medical devices face different screening. Most AI-enabled devices coming to market aren’t required to be tested on patients, according to FDA rules. Instead, makers satisfy FDA rules by citing previously authorized devices that had no AI-related capabilities, says Dr. Alexander Everhart, an instructor at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis and an expert on medical device regulation.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.
Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : the new canadian citizenship policy, which was enacted in December 2025, restores citizenship by descent, for ancestors as far as you can prove. 2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads : that means that if one of your grandparents, great-grand- parents or even farther was demonstrably born in Canada, you don't even need to apply for citizenship - you are retro- actively granted it. Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : the process involves linking your CanadA-born ancestor to yourself by digging up a paper trail of birth or wedding certificates, proof of immigration or adoption, etc. thanks to Canadian archive- keeping traditions, this is possible by reaching out to towns, parishes, national archives*... Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads : between 1840 and 1930, 925 000 French-Canadians fled persecution and economic oppression by moving to the usa. today, their descendants represent around ten million people, or 3% of the U.s. population. if it's time for you to come back, we haven't forgotten about you.

@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

When I get angry I write a poem. This is the most useless form of anger.

Sorry, it ran a bit longer than expected.
Cass, Streeting, Appleby, and All Listen, I am not a Christian, Though I grew up in that world. Those priests and Sunday school teachers, Would tell you I will mourn the absence of god, But, no, though I am kind, It is hell that I miss. Listen, For I will tell you your crimes in plain: You took good medicine from children, On the say-so of bigots and know-nothings. And when, bereft of hope, for these cruel reasons, These children went to their death, You lied and said it wasn't so, Calling their grieving parents shroud wavers, And your questioners, dangerous. What then? What punishment for those that, Herod-like, Would order a culling of children, For ermine and a glimpse of a corrupt office? (For I am no saint, But if some non-existent devil, Said, “How many children will you murder for power?” I would spit and curse at him) Listen, then, I would have your sleeping hours, Destroyed by the relentless ghostly footfalls, Dreams of those you have betrayed, Little feet, like a heartbeat, Towards the hereafter. But hoping for ethics among the politicians, The pundits, the peers, The so-called doctors, Is a fool's errand. There is no hell, But I wish that, At the instant of your death, (A long time from now) You should feel one-ten-thousandth, (For I am kind) Of the pain, the grief, the hopelessness, You inflicted on these children, And those who loved them. Listen, I hope your life is long enough, That the arc of history twists, And voices stronger than mine, Say, “How could we?” (“It was a different time,” Say the learned men. “We didn't know what we know now.” Fools! It is always a different time, But no great moral authority, Is needed to grant, That killing children is wrong) And, perhaps, then, Your names will then be like ashes, And all backs shall be turned to you. Listen, I know this is unlikely, This poet's curse as useless, As all the other curses you have received, From parents weeping over gravestones, From school children around an empty desk, From this brigade of mourners, Waving shrouds as war-banners No. Listen. Let me speak then of things that will happen. After a long life, you will die, And in dying meet the same mystery that greets us all. You will have a funeral, Consecrated ground, flowers, Surrounded by those that loved you. (No ghosts, no spectres, Of a multiplicity of other graves, And desolate mourners, In their throngs) No, rather warm words shall be spoken of you, And people mean them, too. Except, a few, behind their eyes, Will echo that grim doubt: “Except. Except.” Listen, damned. There is no hell, I promise you, So, probably, you will be spared, The justice you deserve. I am kind, And the universe is kinder. But never doubt, That you are known.

The right should be worried.
4 frame comic. A street reporter is interviewing a bearded man. The reporter asks, off-frame : sir! do you think liberals will stop caring about the Epstein files now that it's becoming clear that it doesn't contain anything that could incriminate Trump? The bearded man replies : do you know who are in the epstein files? rich Cis white elites who are being exposed for spending the last decade engineering a #metoo backlash to make sure that they will never again be held accountable for their actions. do you know who are not in the epstein files? trans people. and we now have proofs that the anti-trans moral panic was largely master- minded by Epstein and his associates. actually, there's one trans girl in there: Ava cordero, an early victim of epstein who the press mocked. we now have proof that her case was settled off-court. what people on the right should worry about today isn't whether Trump will survive this or not, but how naked the truth is: that their whole "anti-woke" movement was engineered to protect pedophiles and sexual abusers.
