I've since replaced Spotify with Deezer. Unfortunately, neither is yet willing to flat out ban AI-generated music, but at least Deezer doesn't try to slip it into my playlists.

If you promote AI-generated content on your page, please do not follow me.

I've only been in Germany four months, and already the local music is topping my chart. 🇩🇪

Oddly, none of my top five songs were by any of my top five artists, nor was my most listened to album. 🤔
Almost none of my top five artists are in my club favorites, whatever that means. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Carpo the Trobbit stands between railing rungs which have been painted the colors of the rainbow.

A room which formerly housed a library is now shown to be empty.

I’ve finally updated my library for the Trump era.

Happy World Allergy Day to all who observe.

Carpo the Trobbit perches atop a mushroom within a ring of tall moss.

Found a mushroom in the moss.

Carpo the Trobbit stands before a hole in the ground, large enough for him to enter.

As a Trobbit, Carpo lives in a tree, but might a distant relative of his have lived in a hole in the ground?

Carpo the Trobbit visiting the grave of Lizzie Borden

Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

Carpo the Trobbit stands alone upon a concrete chess table in a park.

Checkmate! ♟️

Carpo the Trobbit stands among a cluff of clovers. His head is partially obscured by a clover with four leaves.

Found a four leaf clover. 🍀

That gnome is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did.

JK Rowling is a holocaust denier.

Carpo claims this picture was taken at the Dome of Cologne, but I suspect it's Photoshop or AI generated.

By the same token, there is no such thing as "immigration." It's just called "people moving around." People moving from Mexico to Texas is no different from people moving from Oklahoma to Texas.

some good tips in here--even if you don't use your Meta accounts often or at all, still worth checking the privacy settings from time to time because they get changed around constantly

Merry War on Christmas.
Critical thought bless us, every one. 🎄🕯️

This 140 ton glacial rock has been chilling in Fall River, Massachusetts for 10,000 years.
No one seems to know how long there's been a gnome hiding under it.

WE RIDE TO BATTLE.

I'm not a toy collector, but this little guy has somehow managed to stick with me since the early 80's.
He's Carpo the trobbit from Blackstar, but I call him my lucky gnome. I'll be attempting to chronicle his adventures here on Bluesky.

The two bookcases in my library room have been stabilized, and the third is in the lounge.
Now I have a fourth set of shelves to build up and another huge box of books to stock them with. 📚

I need both.

This is fine. 👍

I used to think that chest was unique, but apparently a lot of people had it.
Mine was my father's. He'd had it since at least the 70s.

Upon fixing the first, it becomes obvious that the second set of shelves also has a gangster lean.
