Donate to Help Emily out of medical debt from endometriosis surgery, organized by Emily Cross * ยฃ5,000 goal * Hello, friends. Earlier this year, I undโ€ฆ Emily Cross needs your support for Help Emily out of medical debt from endometriosis surgery

I know you all have been asked for money countless times, but my friend the incomparable Emily Cross has been having a really rough medical time. If you are a fan of her bands @lomatheband.bsky.social or Cross Record and you can spare the money it would help her a lot.

The president and RFK have ended cancer research in the US. What have you done about that?

But at the time, before the exact phrasing of the engravings was publicly known, the suspect sent messages that suggested he was closely following the news.

โ€œI heard the ammo had somethin about trans stuff on it, but they arenโ€™t releasing photos or exact quotes,โ€ he wrote. He added: โ€œand also the claim wasnโ€™t backed by the official fbi, just some dude in the briefing room.โ€

This whole thing is wild but, particularly this: the shooter himself was apparently confused at reports the ammo messages expressed "trans stuff" and emphasized the lack of "photos or exact quotes" to cast doubt on it to his friends.

On the other hand the NYT is nearly fully in line with the Trump administration in most ways that matter while the Guardian is still reporting from reality land. Given the choice I am with the Guardian.

I hope youโ€™re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I canโ€™t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You donโ€™t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

Trump gets a lot of attention for being a con man but that clip of him talking about how Putin said he won the 2020 election reminds me that he is somehow simultaneously one of the worldโ€™s biggest suckers. An incredible combination.

I mean, he didn't land on the moon, but he got to the moon twice, which is tied for the most with Gene Cernan and John Young.

I can only describe myself as *gob-smacked* to see AMRC among the top 10 best sellers at Third Place Books Ravenna in Seattle this week. Yowza! See the evidence herewith.

Many thanks to Rafe Posey for being such a tireless champion of the book. (JM)

Did you ever notice that the backing vocals in "The Rhythm of the Saints" are the same melody and cadence as the keyboards in "Let's Go Crazy"?

A lovely episode with Jonathan Meiburg discussing his various creative outlets: his music (Shearwater) on the one hand, and writing his book about the striated caracara on the other. It is exciting to hear how the different outlets complement each other.

Hackers Hijacked Googleโ€™s Gemini AI With a Poisoned Calendar Invite to Take Over a Smart Home For likely the first time ever, security researchers have shown how AI can be hacked to create real world havoc, allowing them to turn off lights, open smart shutters, and more.

NEW: In a likely first, security researchers have shown how generative AI agents can be hijacked to cause physical consequences.

They tricked Google's Gemini AI into turning off smart home lights, opening windows, and turning on a boiler.

They hid instructions to the AI in a *calendar invitation*
