When in Santa Fe

🎶 “Hold you longer longer than an opera…”

This one is 3.5 hours.

Trying my best to smile knowing how much we’re losing 😭

Mmmmmm

;)

I call this one “59 degrees in San Francisco”

And you’re back again only different than before

Excited! (I love his movies.)

The recent court documents showed that Google's internal testing demonstrated that significantly worse search results would not harm their business operations. This apparent immunity to quality concerns stems from the company's dominant market position, which the recent federal court ruling addressed. "Since Google doesn't have any real competition, it can make the best information hard to find, forcing users to stay on Google for longer and interact with more ads," Papadimitriou said. "This is dangerous for consumers, most of whom think the best results appear first." The strategy appears to be working from a business perspective. The study suggests that poor organic search results actually benefit Google's bottom line in two ways: they make paid advertisements more valuable to users seeking accurate information, and they force users to refine their searches multiple times, exposing them to more advertising in the process.

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

@frankmena.bsky.social Leaving IG has *decimated* my selfie-taking practice :O

Boooook for BART

Opera ready! (Late April in San Francisco… 🙄)

RIP William Finn. Brilliant composer and lyricist. His song cycle “Elegies” is funny, gorgeous, and heartbreaking.

Gala season! 🦆

Pressed by Republicans, D.C. Begins Removing Black Lives Matter Mural The mural, which covers two city blocks, was painted in 2020. A jackhammer began chipping away at the bright yellow letters on Monday morning.

Felt cute

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
