That sounds fun. I never look forward to days I help out office manager with it. We've had to "undo" things too often.

Is Larry Ellison a scam?

5 cupcakes with pokemon characters masterfully decorated on them. The reference characters are shown in small printed pictures next to each cupcake. There is Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, and Eevee.

Had a bday party w cupcakes frosted like pokemon to go with the pokeball cookies from last week.

Sugar cookies coated w royal icing. Then colored to resemble pokemon balls. There are pictures from the process from just glazed, to getting sprayed, to first coat, and complete. Assorted colors for the top halves (green purple, blue, red, gold, orange). There are also some tiny cookies that have silver coloring and black design on it to represent the coin flipper things.

Minor prep work for bday party. #PokemonBall #Cookies

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

The surge of AI slop, deceptive synthetic videos & images flooding our feeds, is driven in large part by Agentic AI Accounts (AAAs). aiforensics.org/work/agentic...

Key findings:
-Over 43,000 mostly AI-made posts generated 4.5 billion views
-More than 65% of accounts were created in early 2025

I don't do online sports gambling, but once in a while I buy merch off Alibaba and it feels like the same thing. (90% win rate by the way.)

Search results providing information based on unrelated conversations / dms instead of the actual search term is..... Interesting.

Front of the box for toaster strudel. It says air fryer ready in a little text box.

I guess Toaster Strudel is in an open relationship now. Out there advertising they are "air fryer ready". Looking for another appliance to heat things up?

Just returned from a screening of a powerful documentary entitled “Sanctuary” that I had the privilege of being a part of. I’ll have more to say about it in the future (including ways you can see it), but in the meantime, the trailer is here:

2 waffles sit atop a plate. Complete and intact. Something few people see in their lifetime - the first waffle out of a waffle iron, unbroken.

Behold! The first waffle! It did not rip apart as prophesized! The #NeighSayers won this battle, as they said "neigh, neigh I say! It shall not break".

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.

That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.

Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

Collage of pics of a pan of brownies covered in white whipped cream. Each pic has additional colors sprayed on top yellow red, purple green in kind of a sunset or sunrise or Aurora borealis type of color blend. The last pic has a black silhouette of a cityscape.

First try at some airbrushing. This is fun!

Always amazing to see answers to questions not asked.
Q: is that a cloud?
A: You have to remember we live on what is known as earth so it's only a cloud in some circumstances since a being from another solar system might consider it something else.....
