All generative (so-called) AI and LLMs are always and forever a nope from me.

There are things we call AI which are of actual benefit. ChatGPT is not among them.

That "I'm curious but not deeply invested" state is exactly why I have the Wikipedia app. I end up there daily. I'm so sad that Wikipedia usage is falling because people think ChatGPT is easier.

Semi-aquatic vampires who retreat into the depths of the sea? But maybe that expands their abilities too much.

Un-bear-ably cute!!

I wish I had a nice picture but the books are spread across my home and office 🥲

Oh man, I feel you! I have a massive TBR because I'm reading novels for a work project as well as my stuff just for me. It's really different with the work stuff, because I have a deadline and I can't DNF. I just keep picking up the next one that looks most interesting and hoping for the best 😅

Celebrity deaths come on threes, right? That applies to white men in American politics, right??

If Squares Enix can strike a blow again OpenAI, I might forgive them for one of their many sins against me personally. One.

Saying this as a former devoted fan, it sucks that they're finally releasing the last season of Stranger Things. I'd hoped it would conveniently vanish without the final season and we could pretend it died honorably.

The Harald in Helsinki is great, although it's the only one I've been to.

I've clearly got to check out Lappi, this looks amazing!

Library Admins Are Using Public Money to Hire Union Busters Against Workers “We don’t want to be fighting for what we already agreed to,” said a Maryland public library worker.

Why are Maryland public libraries spending public money to depress the wages of public sector workers? My latest for @truthout.org.

I can only speak for myself, but I had no idea and am so embarrassed. Now that I know, I very much care.

Wow...this is a grift I fell for hook, line, and sinker. How depressing.

Unfollowing this conman immediately.

Heading to Helsinki Book Fair! I'm not sure I'll last very long because my stamina is crap, but I'm super excited to discover new books and get one of my recent favorites signed by the author!

Hi there! I think you crossed my feed because I follow Double Proficiency. Always happy to meet another librarian and Finnish sufferer, I mean learner 😁

I've got no beef with pesäpallo, I just think subjecting a crowd of Americans to the rules and field layout might function like turning electronics off and on again.

I'll start watching baseball when someone subjects an entire stadium of Americans to Finnish baseball. Maybe the psychological shock would fix the nation.

Oh I've seen that this was misleading, the original tree was removed earlier this year because it was dying. This might have been a sapling they replaced it with.

The Lorax can still descend with fire judgement any day he wants.

I'm done waiting for the Dems to finally stop Trump's tyranny and turning my hopes to the Lorax

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Hey friends and #booksky Can anyone recommend books about asexual or aspec characters who are romantically inclined or even in a romantic relationship? The ace characters I can think of are pretty much all aroace.

Ideally something I can get from my library. I don't use Amazon etc.

People keep talking about Sora and I keep believing it's Kingdom Hearts 4 news.

AI really does ruin everything.

A tortoiseshell cat sitting on a person's lap. She has orange down one side of her nose and around her eyes.

Her markings remind me of my cat! I never saw my baby as a kitten but I imagine she looked like Agatha

I love them all but I'm such a sucker for cute bears in particular 🐻

What am I not doing?
Writing 😞
What am I also not doing?
Using generative AI, you thieving cowards 😠

That's a beautiful armload of cat ☺️

Sometimes I like to bewilder my Finnish friends by telling them how in the US I paid rent by shoving a check under a door once a month.

I know he's going to make it everyone else's diplomatic crisis, but it's fleetingly pleasant to see the asshole in chief not get what he wants.

I think I need to workshop it some more 🤣
