Sorry for unsolicited advice but that happened to me once in the tropics and witch hazel helped dry it up a bit more quickly and took some of the itch away.

U.S. ambassador to Canada requests apology for Globe and Mail column In a letter to The Globe and Mail, Pete Hoekstra said he was β€˜disappointed and outraged’ over Cathal Kelly’s column on U.S. men’s hockey team

What a sensational example of being a sore winner.

Imagine having everything you want in life, treating people horribly and then being a salty little cracker because people aren't kissing your feet.

Mange la merde, mon homme.

just watched the older Judgement at Nuremberg and oh boy, there's an important watch but a bit too harrowing perhaps for someone who's not feeling well

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

What I think will happen - is happening - is institutions will not just "let them get away with it", but are already actively encouraging output/product through LLM use. My institution has purchased a chatGPT account & is pushing it on us & students.

We can call it a β€œgenerations heuristic” and deride it whenever we come across it.

Everything must be branded anymore. As a social psych person, I do not find it useful!

War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible.

May God forgive us.

🧡 from Israel.

First a comment. This is an Israeli and American attack on Iran. There is no indication that anything imminent (apart from serious ongoing support for terrorism) was planned by Iran against Israel or the US. This isn’t preemptive, but where Israel is concerned it is with reason. 1/
