Also new since I was last here, I commissioned this oil painting of Fergus and I'm so happy with how it turned out. 🥹 The artist is Katya Minkina (www.instagram.com/fineart.katya/).

Thank you to everyone who left lovely, supportive messages for me! I'm just seeing them all now. I am looking forward to posting and helping more kitties. Here are new Marcel and Francie pics for you. 🥰

Hey I'm back! As some of you know, I experienced some scary harassment here last month when a user threatened me and the sanctuary I work for and I was shocked when they received only a 3-day suspension for that. I have now been assured that the offending account is permanently suspended, and

This teacher has AI recordings turned off but that AI summaries are still given after lessons. "As someone who works in software development the only way for that to happen is for at least audio to be recorded and then fed into an AI model."

PEOPLE: - Eiji Aonuma, age 46. Producer of Spirit Tracks. - Satoru Iwata, age 49. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Aonuma: We had to think about what to use as a mode of transportation, in place of a boat, and at that point, I remembered a certain picture book. Iwata: A picture book? Aonuma: ...Which I brought with me today... Iwata: This book? 'The Tracks Go On'? Aonuma: My son loved this book. When he was four or five, this was the book he'd bring me every night before bed. ‘Read it, Daddy, read it.’ ... It's a very simple [story], but the pioneering spirit, the kids building the railroad... Something about it seemed as though it would fit with The Legend of Zelda. But I didn't tell the staff about this book.

There’s so many instances of where I accidentally hit a knob on a plugin and went “oh wait, that sounds dope” or dropped in a loop, chopped it up, and forgot about it until I’m reviewing the mix

Basically my whole catalogue is full of happy accidents, and no prompt could EVER replicate that

AI music could never do easter eggs, have crazy automations, pitch bends in weird places, chord progression switch ups, that “thing” that every real artist (novice & professional) has in their music.

There’s no such thing as happy accidents because AI always strives to be perfect.

It’s been 13 years since Hyrule Historia was released in North America and Europe. (January 29, 2013)

This marks a huge moment for the franchise as Nintendo officially revealed The Legend of Zelda timeline for the first time.

@italkioffical.bsky.social
Get rid of the AI search bar.
Get rid of the AI fish.
Get rid of the AI summaries.
Get rid of the AI chat bot.
Get rid of the auto AI recordings.

Slop doesn't belong in language learning and students and teachers don't want it.

I'm working on an article now about how bad italki have gotten. I see they're doubling down on this rubbish. It's just not worth it anymore.

I bought a lifetime plan for MaruMori for sale, and I'm happy with it! I am using it once I have a day off from work!

I'd rather have up-to-date sources over dated sources that are no longer feasible!

A photo of two Looking for Gold moving pins, showing that the gold-tinted Banjo and Kazooie part of the pin can move around the edges of the pin, which is illustrated to resemble an area from the game as if viewed with a fisheye lens.

A photo of the Banjo-Kazooie PINVERSE pin pack at the head of a set of other packaged PINVERSE pins. The pack includes a card, stickers, a Banjo-Kazooie action pin, and a Jiggy pin, all packaged in a display box.

We refreshed our Banjo-Kazooie collection last week with new pins and throw blankets!

So sick and tired of the "tsundoku means the art of buying books you don't read" rubbish. It's a "to-read pile." Japanese people use that word the same way English people do. It's not some mystical ancient Japanese "art" of anything.

I would love to check it out; sadly, my scheduling is tight :( next time though!
