I just learned that the Japanese word for "knowledge" (知識) and the word for "trivia/snippet of knowledge" (豆知識) is only distinguished by the addition of the kanji for "beans" (豆) in front of knowledge.
trivia is just a lil bean of knowledge. That's so cute.

I think a lot of the neurodivergent experience is being punished for asking questions so we instead decide to infer meanings and intentions and patterns based on context and cues, but because we're neurotypical, that process is extremely prone to error. so we get punished for it anyway later.

I'm not a fictional character and these aren't Easter Eggs. The way that non-binary folk choose to present is not, ipso facto, indicative of a journey towards some other trans identity. It can ebb and flow as much as feels right to them, or based on whatever compromises they have to make.

Pro tip: don’t brag about how dishes made with raw meat or fish (tartare, poke, carpaccio, etc) are your faves and never make you sick.
I am missing the first full day of my conference because I can’t be separated from my bathroom.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

1. Do you believe that pathogens cause disease?
2. Why has CDC greatly reduced testing and monitoring for human H5N1 cases?
3. Do you believe that HIV causes AIDS?
4. Do you believe that the polio vaccine is safe & effective and will you commit to not changing recommendations on polio vaccination?

Rewording my earlier post.
RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress.
I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good.
If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

This must be how my cat feels when I take photos of her little toe beans.
(Amanda) Betty's losing her mind. Why on earth does she think you want to see photos of my feet?
They are just feet, nothing special about them.
She said something about how amazing it is that my claws can go in and out.
That's normal for cats, isn't it?
There's no hope for her.

TWO. MORE. DAYS. RISE UP AND FIGHT.
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
