Watching the new Figure robots video and I still don't understand why humanoid robots are being developed.

Also seeing a robot at a hotel front desk gave me flash backs to my conversations with AI customer service yesterday.

Apparently if you just keeping telling it to connect you to a person it eventually does it.

Whenever I call a place and end up talking with an AI answering system it is made so abundantly clear how far away we are from having systems like this that actually work.

I've never let my frustration get the best of me with customer service, but I definitely have with those "AIs".

there was someone petitioning for some anti-trans bathroom bullshit outside an event I went to today and like couldn’t these people focus their energy on real problems instead of just making shit up?

Yesterday I had a neat dream about taskmaster. Last night I had dream that someone else’s hair got caught in my teeth while still attached to her head (we were jostled together in a crowd).

Dreams, wtf.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.

ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees.

One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.

He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

Me drinking out of a Lego zombie (I think it’s a zombie at least) coffee mug

Me: I should get something to eat

Also me: scratch that, just more coffee

And then also me: why does my tummy hurt?

At least my new coffee mug is dope

I’m tired and just want to go play Silksong, but I also know that I’m tired enough that I won’t have the mental fortitude to actually make any progress in the game.

I recently was approached for an episode who listed β€œmade the disinformation dozen list” as an accomplishment and was thinking, oh that’s a neat thing to work on - oh no, made the list as in they were on the list, jfc.

My phone screen started flashing white and since it was a new phone I got a warranty trade in, except the new phone they sent me was carrier locked so now I’m waiting on a third new phone and my current phone isnβ€˜t connected to Verizon anymore so I can’t call support to see when my order comes in.

My dogs Bandit, a brown miniature dachshund, and Moxie, a tan chiweenie (but mostly chihuahua), sleeping on rug.

One of the benefits of my dog going deaf is that he no longer cares about the 4th of July.

Unfortunately he takes barking cues from my other dog who has anxiety.

The number of people I’ve talked to who have had a late diagnosis and then had their friends tell them that they already knew is staggeringly high - and all these people say they wish their friends had spoken up because they had no idea.

My Lyft driver showed me her book about getting over the grief of losing a pet and it was full of AI art of what pets would look like in heaven.

I use timer caps on my meds that show how long it’s been since the last time I opened the bottle, they’re incredibly useful when I’m having one of those mornings.

I like how my printer says it is currently printing page 18 of 12 - finally I get to read the secret knowledge behind the normal page count.

I was looking for a particular book in my bookshelf that I wanted to reread and I didn't find it but I did find an entire pile of other books that I also want to read and really I wasn't looking for more things to do, but hey, reading :D

I was doing some organizing yesterday, and then last night I had a dream that told me how to get everything to fit nicely.

I just have to find a completely unused and large closet that is conveniently attached to the room and move everything in there. Thanks, dream, why didn't I think of that?

I do love when people absolutely refuse to see nuance in anything.

Like I’m used to my own black and white thinking, but online discourse takes things to another level.

Maybe I’m just tired.

Pregnancy-Associated Homicide and Suicide: An Analysis of the National Violent Death Reporting System, 2008-2019 - PubMed Mental health problems, substance use disorder, and intimate partner violence are preceding circumstances to pregnancy-associated suicide and homicide.

Hun, the study cited paints way different picture since it includes suicide in those numbers and that makes up 69.2% of the victims. And rather than just pregnant women it focused on pregnancy related deaths - all still not good and something to be worried about. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36075083/

In 8th grade I went to a History Day Fair (like science fair but you know, for history) and somehow my board won some money. I took that money to the mall that afternoon and bought this game. It may be the best money I have ever spent.
