Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

CITY SCAFFOLD: A sonnet of no fixed rhyme scheme, composed in iambic trimeter. Each line has exactly 14 letters. The poem's Ts are arranged such that they form a symmetrical, X-shaped scaffold.
First of all, usually, no it doesn’t, other than very superficially. But more importantly, the reason it is bad to treat persons as non-persons is because they are persons. It does not follow that it is bad to treat everything in the world as a non-person. Most things are not persons.
There is an argument that some AI-psychosis-sufferers tend to make which I find very gross, stupid, and bad. It goes something like, “the way you are talking about Claude sounds a lot like how they used to talk about [some historically marginalized group], sooo, you better think about that”.

Hearing a lot about scam emails pretending to be from publishers. Be careful out there. No one in the publishing industry would ever willingly answer an email

'They interview Heston [Blumenthal] and they interview Jamie Oliver and then they come to me. So they tell me it is going to be the four of us and four shows. | say no to it. And they said, 'Why?' It's very simple. Heston worked hard for his three stars, Gordon [Ramsay] worked hard for his three stars and I worked hard for my three stars. How many stars has Jamie won?'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kcslm7j2sgx4s7mpt3xtomvv/bafkreihnasx6ivo6cqucqnfrapq26slfswiiizi3xqz7amy4l5hxmuipna)
