This is a really empathetic and encouraging post urging event organizers to improve events with better Health and Safety policies: An event organizer’s duty of care: from Codes of Conduct to Health and Safety policies

Consider sharing it and the corresponding publichealthpledge.com with any events you might attend. Like @josh@josh.tel wrote, “Don’t let anyone convince you we can’t do better. We can, and will.”

Cornish Hen Thanksgiving

I rarely dream in my sleep (or remember them at least) but when I do, of course it’s something absolutely unhinged like I’m hanging off the side of a big boat and my feet hit Taylor Swift as she was swimming in the water. At least I apologized to her.

Angie Wang in the New Yorker: 'Is My Toddler a Stochastic Parrot?'

Angie Wang’s sketch in the New Yorker, “Is My Toddler a Stochastic Parrot?”, is a lovely meditation on language, AI, and life:
