Zen misanthrope. MedLibs, MedEd HigherEd, SysRevs, heady music, Marlins, cancer, or cast iron pans. The usual.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I'd never read any of his prose and none of his comics for 20 years, but the Swamp Thing sage knocked me out way back when. An imaginative, ripping yarn. I guess it's intended as a series. I'd read another.
I think she’s telling the truth there. They’re looking though a viewpoint of corruption and personal enrichment lens.
Did you asked for ‘spaced walrus?’
There used to be a place near me in fl that was only open occasionally with no pattern and no hours posted. It was run by a guy in his 70s who was easing into retiring and I think he just made pizza when he felt like it. It was damn good.
Yep. It’s been a great replacement for medical librarian twitter without antivaxxers butting in. I miss the people who didn’t join, but it’s useful.

Top notch liner notes tall tales, too! (Or is it?)
We’re all BooBoo’s on this bus.
He always had the most ridiculously good guitar players!
I once went to a taco bell that said they were out of everything. Woman in front of me bought the last cold bag of churros. It was in a small airport and they were the only place open. In the words of the Meat Puppets “all they had was cocacola and you know that that won’t hold ya” but it was pepsi

Was this before or after they played at the St Louis Kite Festival, as immortalized by Top Dollar and his buddies in Endless Boogie? endlessboogie.bandcamp.com/track/back-i...
Americans can apparently get it in Canada, unless and until we show up in huge numbers. I’m overdue to visit friends in Nova Scotia anyway.
Do you need a license to use the thing you made?
We really don't have much of a reason to trust any reports coming from The Federal or State of Florida governments at this point. My assumption is that it's propaganda until I'm given a reason to think otherwise.
“We may well be entering another period of intra-season inactivity. But what happens next is of concern. Last year, the inactive stretch in late August and early September was followed by that perilous period of 13 storms in 10 weeks.” My latest for @nbcmiami.com 👉🏼 www.nbcmiami.com/weather/hurr...
That’s a slouch couch. No sitting up straight unless you’re way over 6’. If you prefer slouching, it looks like a good couch.
Something must be in the air. Like too much CO2.
Were you at the one there a few months earlier with Airto & Flora? My tape of that is labeled "Long Beach Freakout!"
Got my LP last week - looking forward to being able to take it mobile streaming on bc
It gets longer every year, though
That’s probably bad, but they do taste very good.
I got some Seldom Scene, slack key guitar, and Piedmont blues tapes at one once. They were crap quality and my player ate them eventually, but I dug ‘em while they lasted.
Because of the Republican roll back of labor protections, working in Florida can literally kill you. Read more about the tragic death of Marco Antonio Hernandez Guevara in this article from Big Mouth Mouth Media Senior Staff Writer Danika Joy Fornear. www.bigmouthmediafl.com/post/remembe...
exactly.
gross
How much do people think they can do your work with it instead of having you do it?
I know! I won a copy from a radio station when I was 13 or 14. I didn’t need parental permission. It’s not like it was an Ohio Players album!
I’ve got some opinions that I’m not willing to put in writing.
DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Maybe UK copyright rules give you more control over your own work than US ones, too.
Oh, wow, is right - I was just wondering where my copy of Boris' Dronevil is but now I've got this on instead!
A lab in a lab coat?!
I started to do this with my full final searches but was advised that if it was part of a published work that I needed to follow the copyright and open access rules for each one. That was just enough of a barrier to kill my inertia.
He does decent work, though.
That used to be my line of work, too, and that was the case 15 years ago and has to be so much more accelerated now. Recently found my old rolodex, looked through it with nostalgia, thought "so many years of networking and expertise..." & tossed it. Everyone in there was retired or beyond anyway.
The got rid of the barrel AND the cracker?
They’re the 1+ inch ones. Why do you think South Carolina is called the Palmetto State?
Squinell is nuts & Fried A?
You could probably add poor white people who don’t kiss their asses.

relisten.net/meat-puppets... My favorite band covering my favorite cover by my other favorite band - more or less.
I do find reading the NYT less fun than I used to, so I’m reading more books.
Very interesting
Case study in how to screw up a good thing.
I thought I caught the distinctive smell of burning sawgrass this morning.
Such a great record. Three geniuses in one room - and listening to each other!

this sort of thing is unpleasant enough
And now the attribution analysis results: climate change strengthened #Erin ’s peak intensity by about 9 mph 📈, resulting in it becoming a Category 5️⃣ storm. If not for human-caused climate change, Erin would have been a Category 4 storm at its peak. www.climatecentral.org/tropical-cyc...
Bring back poaching in rich people’s forests.
Isn’t that why they’re trying to provide free preschool?
Uh oh. I use “best practices” pretty often. It’s in pushing back on substandard methods and at least I have actual strict guidelines to refer to, but I suppose I should rethink my language. To reflect current best practices, naturally.
When #Erin underwent extreme RI from 75 to 130 knots in 12 hrs (a 55-kt change exceeded by only 3 Atlantic hurricanes in the past 50 yrs—2005 Wilma 75 kt; 2007 Felix 60 kt; 2024 Milton 60 kt), climate change made the 1.6°F hotter ocean SST at this location 100 times more likely (@climatecentral.org)
I could get another mirror, but it’s nicer to do it together. I used to do a mediocre job coloring her hair. Probably would’ve come out better if we hadn’t had some wine while doing it, but it would have been more of a chore.
Haven’t paid someone to cut my hair in 5+ years. My wife helps sometimes.
Beefheart cornered the bulbous market.
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil
Loved Pamplona. Didn’t expect much but it was great. Got a guided walking tour the first day. Recommended. Less crowded than San Sebastián. We also rented a car there and went to Urbassa-Andia national park for a day.
In yet another episode of 21st century extreme rapid intensification, Major Hurricane #Erin has reached Category 4 intensity overnight. Maximum sustained winds are now 130 mph (215 km/hr), where as yesterday at this time they stood at 70 mph. Thankfully Erin's core is missing land.
I want you all to clearly understand our new reality. A mere tropical storm 400 miles away (from Martinique to Puerto Rico, or from central Bahamas to Miami) can intensify into a Category 4 cyclone like María in a matter of 24 hours. We’ve made our bed 🛏️ now we must lie in it.
I think Mayer’s affection for her and for the Dead did not overlap. I also think she does her homework and listens to a lot of things she might not love, but can learn from.

Most likely the even crappier but better marketed ones will survive - like betamax vs VHS if you're old enough to know what I mean. There are probably plenty of internet examples but they've been forgotten (by me) since there isn't a physical relic.
All that bad junk science just dumped out there...
The first time I saw it they showed Daffy Duck in Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century before. About 5 minutes into the main feature my friend leaned over and asked “What does all this have to do with Planet X?”
Hopefully you have a 10:1 ratio of downloads to flight time.
Slightly diminish a band: Grateful Ill (that's ill not 3, needs some serifs or something)
Thanks! - I knew I'd forgotten someone - www.gofundme.com/f/grateful-d...
Beyond disappointed that the Grateful Dead organization, so wildly successful 60 years on, does not take care of its own. Tom Contanten and Harry Popock both have GoFundMe campaigns to pay for their health care in their old age. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with... www.gofundme.com/f/frrku-help...
Thanks! Hope you're able to give a short summary
Just checked this out. wtf - how dare Pete Cosey not play exactly like he did almost 60 years ago? Just kidding, very cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS9E...
It's very nice that all printed editions use the same page numbers. While traveling I borrowed the ebook from the library. Lacked page numbers, but being able to search in the book for a name was nice. "Have I seen this person before?" Did the same for Ed Park's Same Bed Different Dreams.
Minimum wage in my state is $14/hour. Even with no benefits or unemployment taxes, etc that's still too much.
I got a cheap copy of this and would browse it at the end of most chapters. It added a lot of context without getting too weedy. www.ugapress.org/978082036583...
One of my favorite chapters in that novel.
And here's this morning's experimental cyclone track ensemble forecast from Google Deep Mind and Google Research AI modeling. There you go. Five sources. Caribbean hit looks very highly unlikely (Erin started at parallel seventeen-and-a-half). US hit looks unlikely. It's ultra early. 2/2 fin
Monks of Doom! The least remembered and best CvB spinoff.
What a great lineup! I gotta get off this peninsula...
They implied I’d failed the poIygraph. I hadn’t of course but I started freaking out a little and wondering if I’d done the crime but repressed the memory. I can definitely see how people confess to things that they didn’t do.
4 hours in an interview room. Was ‘asked’ to give a lie detector test about a serious incident at work. Was taken to a room behind 3 locked doors. Answered their questions and was told I could not leave. Sat there for 3 hours with detectives giving me the eye through the window, then they let me out
That’s LLM facilitated natural selection.
Cummings and Bachman were apparently so pissed that their photos were used to promote “Guess Who” shows that they revoked all performance rights to their songs. No one could play them without triggering a lawsuit, including themselves. Not sure how that works, but seems like it did.
I love Hate! and I hate everything else. Good to see Buddy again. We grew up together.
So all 29+ minutes of the 2/23/74 Other One is folded into 1 second? That’s some Lex Luthor/Dr Doom level evil genius stuff right there.
Nice! Thanks!! Gonna jump in tomorrow
I've read that there is huge range from one journal to another with them, from excellent to non-existent
I must add that I have no idea about MDPI's peer review process. It seemed a little light, but I'm not really qualified to judge the scientific aspects of some of the projects I work on, just the the evidence acquisition and the evidence synthesis methods. Wouldn't let a title like that slide though
Grok would have spelled it "Massa"
I was just thinking about my experiences with MDPI (journals chosen by PIs, btw). Their managing editors gave a lot of proofreading & editing advice (free) and were extremely helpful & professional. Meanwhile, the big so-called "legit" publishers seem to leave that all to the unpaid peer reviewers.
I've been seeing a lot more of those lately - I guess that's to keep the LLMs from crawling (aka stealing)
Option 1 would have some very interesting consequences. Seems like there'd still be a mandate to publish NIH funded work as open access, but no funding to support it.
Based on reports on DOGE and other govt entities accounting, I’m guessing wasn’t an APC. They probably put on a whole conference or something and this slipshod administration can’t be bothered to get it right.
I had to prove I was human to read it. 🙂
Med school professors are using it now. I’m a librarian and we get questions about it all the time. At this point though we’re starting to get involvement from non-early adopter faculty who want to know how to deal w it, how to teach skepticism and questioning on AI. That’s encouraging.
