It is very exhausting to see people doing "ha ha look how dumb Chat GPT is it can't get basic questions right" right as we are getting constant stories about how much energy even basic queries for AI uses up. Just don't use it! The bit isn't that funny!

The UK's ban on puberty blockers includes an exemption for every use other than gender dysphoria — i.e. cis kids will continue to get them with no outcry about side effects or medical evidence.

i’m trying to be …less prepared. so i’m using up all the little packets i carry in my purse. one (1) tampon and maybe a toothpick. that’s it. standing at my stove with a bitty salt packet does feel off, though.
