I am a mess, please be kind
Loved "Wake Up Dead Man." Not the best *mystery* movie, but it's a great movie about Christianity and grace. I fear there are a lot of Christians who would find it greatly beneficial to reflect on the themes of the film who will resolutely refuse to do so and claim offense.

Turns out that while my insurance covers post-operative appointments with my doctors, it doesn't consider surgery outside of a surgical suite to be an operation. Therefore my post-op appointment is in fact a regular appointment and I need to pay the full out of pocket price.

Fuck insurance.

The whole bit is a wonderful reputation of Cuomo's islamaphobic bullshit.
Mamdani says that six years ago, a well-meaning uncle told him that he didn't have to tell people he was Muslim

If you're fortunate enough to have the means and security to donate things, may I recommend buying some extra non-perishable goods whenever you restock and giving them to a food bank? I dropped some off at the local library and will try to keep doing this for as long as the shutdown is going on.

Maybe somebody else out there needs this.

The problem with that fucking guy being dead is there's no way that other fucking guy wouldn't be shoving his corpse out the door so he could sit in the chair.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, citing an executive order issued by President Trump.

I spent a lot of time on 4chan, had a lot of fun. It's easy to see why if you look at saved exchanges, there was a lot of creativity and humor. None of it has ever been worth the toxicity that website promoted.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Damn everybody who planned this and everybody who went along with it straight to the deepest level of Hell.
I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

For the record, displacing a population and replacing them with another is called "Ethnic Cleansing." The headline should be "Trump Says He Wants the US to Annex and Ethnically Cleanse the Gaza Strip."

UPDATE: Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. ownership.

I've inherited a deep and powerful hatred for the Philadelphia Flyers from my father (as any upstanding NHL fan should) but Gritty is hands down the best mascot in the league, if not the world.

This is actually a brilliant (short) explanation of Fascist ideology and the reasons behind it.
"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

Something is Killing the Children from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social is one of the best comics of the last few years and getting more of it is always a treat. Tynion is an absolute master.

The US Episcopal Church has a long history of standing up for the vulnerable and anybody who thought this president could get through a service without a lecture simply doesn't know who we are.

Her whole sermon is worth a watch, starts around 1:04:22.

Predictive text models do not ever "answer your question"

They predict what an answer to your question would probably look like.

Which is very, very, very different
I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪
