Thanks to a temporary brain slip, we’ve just had a good deal of confusion over Tina telling me she’d bought some grilled anchovy hearts, which she insisted were a perfectly normal thing and why was I looking so perplexed and baffled.
Inside my head, visions of tiny metal skewers over a bed of coals.
Wait… not anchovy, the other one… artichoke. Artichoke hearts.

You didn’t really expect an AI to be able to do pull ups, did you?
(Tangentially related, I recently learned that enclosures for tigers and lions don’t need to be covered on the top, nor terribly tall, because the cats aren’t strong enough to pull themselves up and over. Smaller cats have different shoulder anatomy, and are better at it.)

I’m imagining a zoo with the motto “we’re pretty sure this is fine”, where they have little fences for the lions and tigers, and crocodiles are allowed to wander freely amongst the public so long as they have a rubber band around their mouth.

That’s a lot of drugs.
My mum liked to remind me that as a child I swore I wouldn’t drink, do drugs, or ride a motorbike.

Yes, but is she proud or disappointed in you?
