My kid decided to pit Gemini and ChatGpt at each other in Monopoly. ChatGpt was winning by a mile, but then the free version of ChatGpt ran out of tokens sooooo.... 🤣

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.

The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

My wife is not as much of a movie fan as I am, so I was explaining the gist of the plot of "Midsommar" to her after she walked in on "that scene" near the end. Her comment? "It sounds like it would have been a better movie if it was all Muppets." 🤣💀 #Filmsky

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

With all these people saying they spoke with Mitch McConnell today after all the other news, I feel like there's definitely an outside chance that somewhere one of his staffers absolutely panicked and decided to make an AI voice clone and straight up weekend at Bernie'd the phone calls.

Hey #Medsky I have a stack of physical copies of @accpchest.bsky.social journal from the past few years that are sitting on my desk (after reading through them!). Before I throw them away, does anyone have any creative/constructive suggestions of something else to do with them other than recycle?

What if either the coach or the player from the USMNT just decided he would sit as a show of sportsmanship? I know it's the world cup, and sometimes there's controversy in sports, but then there's just blatant attempts at cheating. #WorldCup

Yikes. Anyone who is down for a minimum of 6 minutes prior to getting CPR is unlikely to have a good chance at a neurologically intact survival. For people over 80, that is a *much* lower number. With an unknown downtime prior to this and if there was no bystander CPR... abcnews.com/Politics/ems...

EMS personnel attended to 'unconscious' person at Mitch McConnell's home, audio suggests

EMS personnel were dispatched to the home of Sen. Mitch McConnell last month to attend to an unconscious person, according to dispatch audio reviewed by ABC News.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to police use of overbroad "geofence warrants" to search for and locate unknown numbers of people in a large geographical area. This win reinforces that we don't lose our right to privacy simply because we use a cell phone.

See, this is why the arts are important. As many readers know, "I'm serious. She could actually be a 300 pound dude who lives in his momma's basement in suburban Detroit. And her name is Chuck." - Ready Player One ....But apparently it could always be worse.

This makes me incandescent with rage Autism isn’t something you treat. It’s something you are. If you cannot fundamentally handle the likelihood that you may have an autistic child, don’t have a child

"Autistic children as young as 18 months old are being injected with human stem cells derived from umbilical cords in unapproved, unproven and potentially harmful “treatments” that scientists warn are proliferating across the US under the active encouragement of the US health secretary, RFK Jr."

The cost of Solar panels and batteries has come down massively over the last 2-4 years. We should have these systems everywhere! Oil is a necessary evil, for now. But we need to rapidly move to renewables everywhere.

Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social is a perfect #beachread for anyone looking for ideas. There is great warmth and a feeling of home carved out by a closely 'networked' found family. It's a succinct 150ish pages while never compromising on depth. #Booksky

For anyone looking at #Boardgames Hues and Cues looks like SUCH a cool game but the color printing difference between the cue cards and the board make it really difficult and unpleasant to play. They had to have had two separate printers that did not get double checked.
