That's probably just because of all of the people in the world, I have been witness to more of the stupid things I've said or done than anybody else has.
(Thank God)
So, @ellen-friedman.bsky.social informs me that she has known a fair number of Nobel laureates, and other people just about as smart.
Oddly enough, none of them describe themselves as stable geniuses.
There is a reddit thread quoted in the reports that points out that much of this is strangely transliterated Russian. If you squint just right (and can read Russian) it actually works.
That last point, however, is epic.
My little granddaughter Alissa
1 year old now, only baby talk, but she certainly can make clear when something is not going the way she wants!

Exactly.
I went there with my dog once and she jumped out of the car and took a big bite of gypsum.
When she realized it wasn't snow about 2ms later, she have me a really blame filled look.
Of course it was my fault that the snow didn't work right.
I don’t mind celebrating the downfall of evildoers like Bovino and Noem, but please don’t let “owning the cons” be more important than what’s still going on in Minnesota, Maine, soon Philadelphia, and elsewhere
Thanks!

Do you know if this applies to more recent versions as well?
This tragedy is a huge mystery to me. How could a qualified guide have customers out in those conditions? Why were they huddled together?
I have been on trips where people were gung ho on continuing into dangerous conditions so I get the level of pressure, but this was crazy
Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
The thing you set about measuring may not be the whole story. There is often a meta story hiding in there.
This is an idea that @ellen-friedman.bsky.social is always on about. After you get data, draw a picture and pull back to understand what *else* the data is saying to you.

As someone who, while growing up, had measles, rubella, and many other horrible illnesses now preventable by vaccination, I simply cannot fathom why people want to revert to that time. I spent a lot of time in bed or at the hospital as a child. Yes, I survived, but not by much.

- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I know Trump very well. He repeatedly says that he's going to run for president again. I don't think he's joking. I really want to know what is his mental state is.
Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Thanks Phil!
The last lines of the Gest of Robyn Hode were:
he was a good outlawe,
And dyde pore men moch god.
So it seems that at least from 1500 onward, he was fairly Marxist.
