  1. AI fun this week: I was invited to submit a keynote, but the AI rejected my idea because it contained non-inclusive language. Apparently, "Master's Thesis" is problematic because of the "Master" in it. Suggested alternatives were "Primary Thesis" and "Expert Thesis"

  6. This is what happens when stupid people decide that words can be bad.

    Pete Hegseth, Trump's DUI hire, and his Dept of Defense will ban references to the Enola Gay, the WWII bomber that carried the nuclear bomb to Hiroshima.

    It was named after the pilot's mother, not the sexual preference.

  11. "This is a confession. I love daytime TV. I smoke, even though I officially gave up years ago. I’m often late, and usually lie about why. And sometimes I feel good when others feel bad.

    "The Japanese have a saying: “The misfortunes of others taste like honey.” […] In Hebrew enjoying other people’s catastrophes is 'simcha la‑ed'."

    I've been so disgusted by the language police and the English restrictions for years. I'm about ready to say "If Quebecers cannot obtain government services in English on demand, then the federal government won't offer them in French either".

    I was born in Quebec, and I probably couldn't get an English "permit".
