If, as the disclaimers say, "investment in securities involves the risk of loss", they're not very well named, are they?

In a country where 30% of the population is comprised of white men, 14 of the the 17 GOP committee chairs are white men, while the remaining three are white women.
Feta the Furious is the name of my Greek salad recipe.

I had gotten into my head that my parents' first date was "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
I have now learned a fact that conflicts with this theory: the movie came out four years after I was born.
DeWilde exercise 6.6: Draw a Vase Using Hatching and Crosshatching. #MastoArt #drawing #beginner
This was hard! The chapter has been building up to drawing the vase, which I had to fake because my actual vase is transparent; I'm not ready for that Escher-level stuff. Drawing the flowers (the vast majority of the work) seemed thrown in as an afterthought. Why did I have to buy such complicated flowers?

One day I hope I find the one other leftist in rural eastern #Oregon. There's no way I'm the only one.
Finished season 3 of the excellent Umbrella Academy.
I heard a rumor that Aidan Gallagher (Five) has been cast as Miles Vorkosigan.

Taught my wife Siva Afi for the first time tonight. She, of course, won 94 - 71.
We were interested in how you came up with the theme and realized you actually fire knife dance! Very remarkable and awesome way of putting together two of your passions.
I want to try to at least get some 3 or 4 player games in before I do my write-up so we will have to teach it to our kids soon.

It's not surprising that this so-called "AI" product also involves exploited labor (exposing poorly paid people to traumatic content at high velocity), but it is still another thing to have it documented like this. Thank you @perrigo for this reporting.

Surely this bill is some sort of “trolling by legislation” stunt?

ChatGPT: Can It Make Huge Corporations Even Wealthier?
'Libin also sees tricky technical challenges ahead. One is that ChatGPT and other generative AI models are currently created by scraping content made by humans from the web, but are increasingly contributing to the text and images found online. “All of these models are about to shit all over their own training data,” he says. “We’re about to be flooded with a tsunami of bullshit.”'

If it is not literally the warmest year ever, someone will complain that global warming has stopped.
Year-to-year fluctuations are a normal part of the ongoing global warming trend. Don't be distracted by the noise.
