Was very close to fighting someone from another office over a Teams message this morning before looking them and realizing they are about 60. Remembered the below tweet and chose peace instead. Be proud of me.
A tweet from @pervocracy stating: Emailing older less-internetty people is nervewracking because they'll write " 'THANK YOU' for your 'HELP'... Cliff..." and mean nothing by it and it's very hard to politely explain that in my language that would be a delcaration of war

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers

Kitten update. Bergie is a madman. Chouli went feral when I gave her boiled chicken. BTW, im pretty sure chouli is lilac color, which is like getting a SSS rank gacha pull for cats

The image is a 6 panel black and white comic Panel 1- two people enter a house, the girl in the foreground says, "And this is my home!" Panel 2- The girl from the foreground continues walking forward, saying, "Hey mom!" while the other person stays standing in the living room of the house. Panel 3- The person continues to stand there while thinking, "...They didn't tell me to follow..." and "I dunno if I should touch anything" Panel 4- They continue to stand there in thought, "I hope they come back soon." Panel 5- The person continues to stand there in silence. Panel 6- The other girl comes back, looking through a doorway and says, "You...You know you can just sit down, right?" to which the other person nervously responds, "For sure! haha what kind of weirdo would just stand there, haha, not me!" and trails off in more nervous laughter.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec I), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", ", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL r.

HOUSE / HAUNT / HEME
Digital painting of an old, worn interior. We are viewing a dark doorway from across the room, tattered rugs laying crookedly. To the right of the canvas is a yawning black stairway going up, from which a glittering thread ascends, tied to a ceiling beam, and supporting an old farm sickle. A dark figure is barely visible peeking from behind the stairwell door. Tiny glowing eyes, like those of an animal, peer from the dark doorway across from us. The atmosphere is tense, quiet, and uncomfortable.
