Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today.

I know it’s intentional but we should stop calling everything AI, lumping useful machine learning techniques for science with large language models that tech companies are trying to cram into everything.
AI to track icebergs adrift at sea.

British scientists say a world-first AI tool to catalogue and track icebergs as they break apart into smaller chunks could fill a "major blind spot" in predicting climate change

Some years ago, I was chatting with a Retropolis reader, a young history student, and I mentioned there were several dozen people enslaved in New Jersey up until the day the 13th Amendment kicked in in December 1865.

Y’all. He identified every one of them.

Key points about this:

Make sure they are UNCUT and not peeled. Who knows what that knife did before it cut fruit.

Let the person with the food allergy/intolerance prepare it themselves.

Do not be insulted if they wash it.

Jenn's quick guide to supplying something like bananas or oranges along with those morning donuts.

It covers vegans, several common food allergies, several diets and preferences.

It is cheap.

Donut eaters will probably eat some too.
The number of companies I have forced into buying oranges or bananas (because it is fruit you peel yourself) for breakfasts because they never thought about the celiacs or those with food allergies is like 4.

I'm going to learn who the celiacs are and make sure they can eat too.

I regret to inform you that “1979” by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called “2009”

This is your reminder that food allergies exist and if you are supplying treats for an official work function.

MAKE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST ONE THING FOR EVERYONE

Being told, "hahaha, BYOD" (bring your own donut) because there is nothing I can eat at Dunkin', is frankly annoying and sad.

Just as a quick note while we discuss all the new (and familiar) names in the Epstein files: be careful about saying "everyone knows" about prominent people who are predators. People new to the field, people less connected (often marginalized folks), people who are adjacent, etc. may not know.

Also, while measles is really pressing for obvious reasons, we're also in a pertussis (whooping cough) resurgence and the vaccine for that TDAP (Tetanus, diphtheria and Pertussis) is once every 10 years but the pertussis part wears off after 3-4 years. Do with that info what you will.

Some notes:

Yes, that’s a typo on the month. Date is correct on page 1 and other docs.

Also, the scripture:

Matthew 19:14 ~ Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

John 11:35 ~ Jesus wept.
