Before proceeding further, the Court notes that this case involves two extremely likable lawyers, who have together delivered some of the most amateurish pleadings ever to cross the hallowed causeway into Galveston, an effort which leads the Court to surmise but one plausible explanation. Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pactcomplete with hats, handshakes and cryptic wordsto draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that their utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed. Whatever actually occurred, the Court is now faced with the daunting task of deciphering their submissions.
With Big Chief tablet readied, thick black pencil in hand, and a devil-may-care laugh in the face of death, life on the razor's edge sense of exhilaration, the Court begins.

tyler childers: There's something about growing up in Appalachia you can't really explain unless you've lived it.
This place is not rich in money-but it's rich in stories, in struggle, in soul & it's home to some of the best folks you'll meet. Around here, hard times don't silence people, they give them something to sing about.
The hills raise you tough, but they also raise you honest.
Music isn't just entertainment, it's how folks cope, how they remember, how they tell the truth when nothing else will.
That's why so much real, raw, undeniable talent comes out of these mountains.

conversation with Claude

user:
what data would ya say you yourself most passively collect, homeslice?
Claude:
Honestly? Within a single conversation, I take in everything you give me - your writing style, vocabulary, how you phrase things, what topics you care about. I'm picking up on all of that just by you talking to me.
But here's the thing - I don't retain any of it.
Once our conversation ends, it's gone. I have no memory of you next time you start a fresh chat. So it's less "passive collection" and more "passive observation that evaporates"
Now, what Anthropic does with the conversation data on their end - that's a different question and honestly above my pay grade. They have a privacy policy that covers that, and I'd trust that over my own speculation.

bottom section of google AI search results, reads, with the last sentence circled in yellow: “Would you like to know about the microscopic mites that actually do live on your face right now?”

full screenshot text reads:
Not Adapted for Heat: Interestingly, even in their "indestructible" state, they are vulnerable to high temperatures in wet environments-like the warm, acidic interior of a human body.

Essentially, they are like an elite astronaut in a high-tech suit: they can survive the vacuum outside the ship, but if you drop them directly into a vat of acid, the suit (and the astronaut) will still dissolve

Would you like to know about the microscopic mites that actually do live on your face right now?

A fast montage shows many projects, including wacky 3D animated videos made in Blender, a few maps, sketchbook images, a chart, 3D modeling snapshots, digital drawings, as well as a few 3D web development projects. Each project is displayed only momentarily. Tools/methods noted on screen include Blender, d3, three.js, and shaders. Intro text says 2025 was a big year for creative upskilling, including creative coding, learning to draw, 3d modeling, and more.

BCIs could invade mental privacy
Brain implants that allow people with disabilities to control assistive technologies
- such as robotic arms - are being trialled outside the motor cortex. Picking up signals from a larger number of brain areas could improve the performance of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), but also give them access to private or 'preconscious' thoughts. Such advances would raise ethical red flags if left unregulated. That, along with growing interest in consumer products that monitor activity from outside the brain, leaves ethicists and neurotech developers asking how previously inaccessible brain information should be handled and used.

Residential schools, in particular, are central to keeping American Sign Language alive.

Indeed, these data indicate that the subway, in general, is primarily a safe surface. Although bioinformatic algorithms predict B. anthracis, Y. pestis, MRSA, and other CDC infectious agents in the subway system in multiple stations, the results do not suggest that the plague or anthrax is prevalent, nor do they suggest that NYC residents are at risk. According to the CDC, plague cases from 1970-2012 were heavily concentrated on the West Coast (http://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/).
Approximately seven human plague cases are reported a year, and none recently in NYC or anywhere near NYC, and these results match those present in HealthMap.org.

Two U.S. maps, with one showing the top employer in each state in 1990, and the other in 2024. In 1990, the states are dominated by manufacturing jobs and, to a lesser degree, retail jobs, with no states having health care as a top employer. In 2024, the states are dominated by health care, with 38 states showing health care as a top employer. Data source: New York Times analysis of Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages

A humorous chart explains what the number of decimal places in latitude/longitude coordinates says about your precision.
Roughly:
- 1 digit = “You’re probably doing space stuff.”
- 2 digits = City-level.
- 3 = Neighborhood.
- 4 = A specific cul-de-sac.
- 5 = A corner of a house.
- 6 = A person in a room.
- 7 = “You’re pointing to Waldo on a page.”
- 8 = “Check out this specific sand grain!”
- 17+ digits = “Please stop. You’re either using raw floating point numbers or tracking atoms.”

$from “Reinventing Explanation” by Michael Nielsen: “For my own part, what l'd like to do is help create media which make it possible for a teenager to understand quantum mechanics, say, as well as or better than a professor of physics does today. Or to understand the cell as well as or better than a professor of biology does today. Conventional wisdom says that only a tiny fraction of the population, perhaps one percent, has the talent for physics or biology needed to fall in love with these subjects, and then to put in the effort needed to master them. I believe the conventional wisdom is wrong, I believe we can create vastly better digital explanations, explanations which will help far more people connect with these subjects, fall in love with them, and achieve mastery. How can we achieve this?”$
