saw these Wool Sower Galls ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callirh... ) this morning on an oak sapling.

I've noticed this sort of symbiosis, where we humans also seem to want to be the most productive in spring which directly conflicts with my desire to take advantage of the weather outside.

Society needs people who take care of the elderly and who know how to be compassionate and honest. Society needs people who work in hospitals. Society needs all kinds of skills that are not just cognitive; they're emotional, they're affectional. You can't run the society on data and computers.

And so I'm not gonna give you a motto or preach a philosophy of burn baby burn, I'm gonna say build baby build, organize baby organize. I've decided to stick with love. Somebody's got to have some sense in this world. - Martin Luther King Jr. Charleston, South Carolina 1967.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? Heh. I’m in decent shape.

Trouble in Paradise

I've had this Anthropic paper up in my browser for over a week now. I think it's mainly because of the section on systematic deception, hidden goals, and self preservation... exfiltrating itself from the server and blackmailing the engineer. p. 22 @ www-cdn.anthropic.com/4263b940cabb...

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.
