Paused the "Ify tries cEDH" episode of Spikefeeders ( @spikefeeders.com ) and Alex is staring me down!

Never stop making your art. Creativity always wins in the end.

Had a cassette tape that was that album on one side, and XTC's Skylarking on the other. It was the perfect college make out tape. Lol good times!

Welp. The new phone is set up. Now we enter the three day period of "what did I forget to backup from the old phone (that's already been reset)?"

Of all the obviously fake AI generated food "flavors" people are posting...I have to say, I'm actually a little bummed that the Frosty French Vanilla Dr. Pepper is fake.

Poetry text displayed as though from a typewriter.

It says the following:

I saw it once said,
That when Pandora's box
was opened, 
out jumped Hope.

As though that 
were the tragedy-
Hope escaping.

And not the fact that Hope
Had been held 
captive and hidden
From so many 
for so long.

I find it more tragic 
That such a box
Was ever constructed
To begin with.

It seems like such a little thing, but bluesky not opening links within the UI frame shows me they care more about the community and the information being shared than they do about how that information can be monetized. I know, I'm not completely naive. But still, it feels nice.

Looking out the front door of SkaggleRock and the fog has the streetlights looking like alien ships looking for something.

Looks like if I am going to keep swimming in the social media pool, may have to start swimming in less hateful waters.
