I've been lucky enough to see a lot of animals in the wild, but platypuses always evaded me. I even lived by a river for a year, where everyone else saw them.

About a week ago I finally spotted one in a nearby lake while going for a run. It was just happily swimming, diving, surfacing, repeat. I watched it for ages.

I saw people asking for ships you can walk around in for a long time now, but I never saw the appeal. With this update, I get it. These ships really feel like our own, and they didn't hold back the creative potential. I'm already building a flying restaurant.

"I'm a charm in the streets, and a strange in the sheets."

Soon we'll have generative AI that extrapolates the rest of the meeting, and that skip key will work. Very poorly, but someone will do it.

Then everyone will log in to meetings, say hi, skip to the end, ask for a generated summary, log out. And nothing of value will be lost.

The broccoli and broccolini in my garden have grown so big it's hard to keep up. This means I'll sometimes eat bits that have begun flowering. I haven't noticed much difference in the taste.

Beat me to it. In the same spirit of collective animal nouns, then:

Married to the Kangaroo

Fish of Rock

Ew.

That was always the plan, it was just a matter of when. They probably thought they could ride his popularity long enough to do more damage first. Maybe even into the next election cycle to help remove pesky term limits, or until some kind of martial law is in effect.

Now that you mention it, the projection is unusual. Is this the map they use in Texas to make it look bigger?

My mum was having a bunch of weird nervous system issues. I saw an article about B6 toxicity so I checked the supplement she was taking. It had something like 20x the RDI.

My work right now is evaluating AI models, but outside work I don't use them at all. I'm so conditioned to finding flaws that my trust level is rock bottom.

I'm also very aware of how easy it is to mentally disengage. When everything appears correct at a glance, your mind has no reason to question it.
