Traumatic news: today I discovered that my coffee maker glass carafe has a crack in it. Ten years and counting of delicious coffee. It had one job and did it well.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Still waiting for any proof of concept for AI.
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

When social sharing came with recipes. (These days of course that source would be @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social )

Landlords are at it again.
Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members?

If you're cleaning up Gaiman from your collections, grab the Marian Zimmer Bradley too. I'm still surprised how many people don't know.

It's very bad. Pits of hell bad.
