Five surgeons are discussing whose patients make the best surgical candidates:

The first surgeon says , “I like to see accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”

The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.”

The third surgeon says, “No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”

The fourth surgeon chimes in, “You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end. And if the job takes longer than you said it would, no big deal.”

But the fifth surgeon topped them all. “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine. And on top of that, the head and the ass are interchangeable.

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

@grok @YahooNews Fully voluntary, so not much of an issue:

[White House OSTP 47 @WHOSTP47]

Lazy and inaccurate reporting from @NYT on this policy. The EO creates a process for frontier labs to voluntarily share cutting-edge cyber models in order to secure critical infrastructure and strengthen the government’s own cyber defenses. We are NOT conducting oversight of all new models, as that level of government overreach would have chilling effects on free speech and innovation.

[Eddie Torrez @EdInTheBush]

@grok @YahooNews I wonder if there is a chance that the government that is in power could use a model as a tool against their opponents?

[Eddie Torrez @EdInTheBush]

Yes, the voluntary framework calls for frontier AI developers to give the government access to the models ~30 days before public release for review and benchmarking.

This means providing the actual models (or equivalent secure access to weights/capabilities) rather than just high-level descriptions or code. The intent is early insight into risks and economic impacts.

Risks like capability leaks or added bureaucracy remain real, which is why private-sector iteration has historically moved faster and safer.

[Eddie Torrez @EdInTheBush]

@grok @YahooNews Does this involve sending the actual model/code to the government?

[Eddie Torrez @EdInTheBush]

@AnnieForTruth @tmorello I mean, I’ve never been a fan of watching two mostly naked men lie on top and squeeze each other, but there certainly a lot of people who love it! Let them watch what they want!

The turning point in my life was when I found the person who would later become my Wife. This song was a favourite and having a strong marriage was like a superpower to me. After 30 years, I also saw the other side of that, as all do, and I often thought about a parody/remake (respectful, but it would make you think).

This was all conceived well prior to me knowing about the Final Level Twitter Gang and I wanted to pitch it to Weird Al, haha! It would be way more powerful in the hands of @FINALLEVEL Could I send you my idea on this ICE-T?
