I ask this in all seriousness. How do we live in the same world with SO MANY people around us are fundamentally detached from reality??
They are not living in this world. How do we live here with them?
When does it just break? We do WE break?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

Animals are not commodities, products or resources, they are individuals with their own personalities, preferences and experiences.
Treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve. Go vegan.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Watched part of the parade today.
I used peacock, so I had to sit through a streaming af first. When what I was trying to watch unlocked, they were on commercial break. When they came back, the hosts read ad copy and then the camera switched to the float for that ad.
Absolutely numbing.

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..

We have a vegan in the family so every year I make some vegan dishes. Last year, I made these scalloped potatoes. It was such a hit with *everyone* that I'm making it again. Here is the easy recipe. Happy Thanksgiving!

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes
My favorite recipe for vegan scalloped potatoes- ultra creamy, cheesy, garlicky and comforting. Absolutely NO dairy needed!

Scalzi is always a Real One.
I'm already an above average writer so any supposed advantage to using an LLM goes out the window. I am not an above average artist, but that's why I pay artists when I need art. Remember I have it in my contracts that all work on my books (art, editing, translation, etc) has to be done by humans.
I imagine LLMs are less useful for expert wordsmiths like Mr. Scalzi.
