Red-shouldered Hawks With a Taste for Avocado Join a Growing List of Fruit-Eating Raptors
Until now the behavior had been undocumented in the species, but recent research has revealed that more birds of prey consume plants than we realized.

No, apple music. I do not want your crossmix. Actually I do not want anything changed that impacts my experience because now I have to go find what you did and unselect it because it is irritating. Another swing and a miss with useless AI insertion.

I assume that whatever you upload is also taken for training data. [And I'm thinking this of all the plagiarism checkers sold to teachers too.]
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

I was looking in the sand for some other tiny slugs when I spotted this little Costasiella ocellifera. It was about the size of a grain of rice!

sing it from the roof tops
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

MMR shot is for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
dear parents of small testicle-equipped children:
mumps used to be the leading cause of testicular malfunction.
whether or not you have grandchildren is ultimately not up to you but don't shoot yourself in the foot here.
get your children vaccinated.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Almost like they are trying to make it harder for people to vote in the November elections...
(That's sarcasm. Yes. That is what they are doing because they are desperately trying to suppress voting because they know we will all vote them the hell out of office.)
