TIL #Greenlandification originally referred to #culture #society + #language evolution.

Only after Robin Bell's paper in 2018 did it start to be used refer to #ClimateChange in #antarctica.

Oprócz tego mieliśmy ogromny termos z gorącą herbatą oraz świeżego chleba więcej niż nasi goście byli w stanie zjeść.

"If you liked Garbage In Garbage Out, you're going to love Garbage In Garbage Out And Then Back In Again."

A GPT-Ouroboros, eating it's own crap. 💩

Had a little fresh snow over my ski tracks since I hadn’t been out in a couple days, nice crisp snow out on the frozen tundra tonight though #DogsOfMastodon #Michigan #Skiing

A few more days of sub-zero temperatures and we can go skating. Right now the ice won't hold anything heavier than

Re: Your Privacy 

We care about your privacy.

Your privacy is delicious to us.

Your privacy is juicy-sweet and crunchy and wine-dark red and breathes a rich, savage musk-like scent, heavy on iron and with notes of truffle and mushroom and old, buried bones in the forest floor.

Your privacy dribbles gently down our lips as we chew, and after long, fragrant, eternities, swallow. Gulping, wolfing it down.

We would do ANYTHING to keep you handing us your precious, precious privacy.
