when i finally find the used bookstores, all bets are off (because my bettin money will have become books)

if you sell your house and become a thousandaire, you too can buy multiple books at a time.

The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

sometimes i see rice and bean salads at food co ops but not very often.

i figured out how to make a really good rice and chickpea dish in my rice cooker, and i'm pretty smug about it.

you should though

i got so many brioche buns yesterday...

i'm not going to say that wayward knows what every t-boi wants, but my gawd

mae martin is very different from matt dillon

Hey Chicago I will be signing books at the new Hyde Park Barnes & Noble this Saturday! stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/978006...

that's the way to do it

the trends are moving in a way that makes it seem like it could be a good time to become a railroad baron.

finally

my friends in new orleans used to think it was hilarious when i said douchebag

this is all you need to know really

also snails are very cute and come with their own cozy housing

So after visiting the doctor I have multiple expensive prescriptions to cover. I'm trying to raise $1000 to cover them and keep my phone turned on. Please, I would be so grateful for help, boosts mean everything 🖤🖤🖤

i also wonder how much of the difficulty in recognizing bad ai images is down to the degradation of image quality over time. we're used to images being compressed and have been for years so they end up being blurry and garbled, why would we notice when the letters in "army" were a bit wobbly?

And when this comes to your town I hope - no, I pray to an uncaring universe that doesn't listen - I pray that you (yes, you, reading this) will not allow your neighbors to disappear without a fight.

I cannot explain how many people have simply *vanished*.

The fear generated by the silent absences is just one more weapon used by the U.S. federal government against its own people.

It's The Hunting of the Snark.

i'm not great at telling what's ai, but i just saw pics of an ai creation of a woman in the army, and it really is true you can tell when it's something you know. i was in the jrotc in high school, and its dress uniform was laughable.

the insanity is part of the charm of sharing space with a yorkie. i have a dowager duchess living with me.

Trying out some new coloured pencils on toned paper

wow, that's so beautiful.

I got this today after paying a family’s back rent to stop an eviction that had been filed. I feel that weight in my bones, and I’m glad she gets to sleep tonight. No one should ever have to feel that fear.

this looks so cute.

it's a great way to make me cook food because for me a lot of the barrier is executive function around planning meals, but knowing what i'll have on hand fixes some of that.

meal boxes also help but i need more flexibility to not be feeling a recipe.

A vibecoder will inherently *not even be thinking* about making the code maintainable and extendable, despite 99%+ of a program's life being spent in maintenance.

They're not making a mental model of it, or giving a fuck about how easily another person could mentally model it later

There’s another horrific video circulating on the timeline and this is my regular gentle and loving reminder to *turn off autoplay* on your videos so you can give consent to see these things.

i got little buns in my csa so i'm making roasted potatoes and turkey meatloaf for meatloaf sliders to keep it easy and ensure it's something i want to eat.

i hated meatloaf as a kid when i'm pretty sure my mom could have put it on a bun with pickles and tomato and i would have been happy.
