An orphaned elephant, now grown and living wild, with the father figure who shepherded him into adulthood. Tomboi, seen here, was orphaned as a newborn in 2002. Today, the little elephant we rescued is older, wiser, and entirely wild — but still, Benjamin stands by his side like a proud parent.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

I don't know if most people know this but Bill C-3 in Canada states that you are entitled to Canadian citizenship if you can prove that somewhere in your past one of your antecedents was Canadian. So not just parents but grandparents, great-grandparents, you can go back to the 1800s.

The Catechism of lore is a primarily purple Numenera campaign book depicting a group of science-fantasy explorers coming upon the (hopefully) sleeping form of a automaton, snake-like creature. Opposite the book is some descriptive text as well as a female-appearing character dressed in white robes, clearly wizened and powerful.

'O’clock’ is a contraction of "of the clock." ‘Clock’ comes from the Medieval Latin ‘clocca,’ which meant “bell.” Church towers would ring bells to mark the passing hours. ‘Cloak’ also comes from ‘clocca’ as the garment takes a bell-like shape around the body.
