- Update: dog is back, very wet and very disgruntled about it. She came running immediately to me to report that Other Human had been mean and made her go outside.
- I’m actually fine with AI reading some things to me - directions on maps. Hold messages. That stupid notification that I have to pick up my prescription. Even scientific papers, where tone and emotion don’t matter. But BOOKS? Actual longform books, with a story and everything? GTFO.
- Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans. P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
- It’s POURING rain, just bucketing down, and the dog - who hates rain - keeps whining to go out. I just overheard, from the other room, “okay, fine, I’ve told you that you won’t like it, but let’s go have Learning Time.”
- People. The name of the org is “the Democratic Party”. “The Democrat Party” started as a pejorative version of this, specifically used by the Republicans, especially right-wing Republicans, to avoid associating the party with democracy. They keep using it to piss people off. So, you know, don’t?
- it's fucking me up so bad from a security perspective this physical threats alone before you get into the potential for surveillance 😭
- It’s SO fucking stupid. All because he wants his shiny golden toy, and he wants it NOWWW. Like a toddler having a tantrum.
- Also, apropos of nothing, nothing at all….
- In 1945, a group of Soviet school children gave a US ambassador a plaque just like this. It contained a listening device and pretty much kicked off the cold war. There was a big public blowup about being spyed on.
- Yes, that’s what this is a picture of.
- On this Friday, please have one (1) picture of my adorable dog Curie carefully not looking directly at the stroopwafel she desperately wants a bite of. (Yes, she got a bite of the not-chocolate half. Do I look like a monster?)
