Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

31 diagnosed (so likely hundreds of actual) infections

FDA issues notice about fatal H5N1 flu infection in a cat linked to a raw diet and the company responds.
Apologetic?
Not really.
Accept that there’s an issue?
No.
Indicate what they are doing in response to this problem to prevent problems in the future?
No.

Have a hefty whack of unexpected medical and physio bills so I'm running a flash discount in the shop for the week - you can use the code BANJAXED at checkout on www.ciaraioch.com/artprints to get 10% off all orders. If you've had your eye on a print, please take it off, you're making it soggy.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear.

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

Folks, get in here. We’re admitting all the dumb wrong shit we believed until we were way too old.
Fun fact: until I was appreciably into my 20s, I thought they were called oncologists because they were always “on call.”
i was unaware of how many oncologists were on this website
