It's almost Valentine's Day, so please remember when ordering flowers that lilies are highly, HIGHLY toxic to cats. Even the pollen all by itself is dangerous. Order appropriately.

Last night I dreamed that I sold running shoes that were imaginary. Because they were imaginary, I could only charge $30 per pair

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
College approached and paid student to write op-ed in The Dartmouth
The Dartmouth ran the article on Nov. 17 without knowledge that the College had been involved.

There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?
Pringles, Nutella, Cheerios Among Thousands of Products Recalled for Exposure to Rodent Waste
The company is urging consumers who purchased the affected products to “destroy the products as soon as possible,” per the recall announcement
