Reposting this because it brings me joy Partly the work is gorgeous But also partly I framed it myself--for a frame from the local diy store, cut the mount and put it in place. And then hammered a bunch of hooks into a concrete wall with two cats "helping" (aka, sleeping on the glass of the frame)

Also I would like to protest that today was, in fact, not easier to deal with on the mental health or spoons front. (It has to be done though, I'm not trying to get out of it. Just, ugh)
Aliette de BodardToday: explaining about ring theory to k1 as a very quick model of when it's appropriate to share feelings of discomfort and stress (Not sure he got the point but that's ok, I can do it again)
How to tell AI hallucinated citations I love this www.llrx.com/2025/12/how-... (But also I'm the suspicious person who even pre ai searched for the cited article and read it to see whether it's correctly used I only have part of the librarian special: I'll check some of the context but not all)
(The frame is horizontal, but apparently my picture isn't lol)

I'm not a lawyer but this thread is super interesting (I suspect the same applies to our barreau, the bar exam in France)
Courtney MilanI'm going to drop this piece from the Washington Bar License Task Force at the end, who did an extensive examination of the Bar Exam in Washington State and found it did nothing to maintain attorney competence and instead just discriminated against people of color and first gen students.
