If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Hey remember when google was a tool we could use? We were young.

Talking to a room of 6yos today, had my laminated photos of things Council does (not my first rodeo) - one of them is of a giraffe at the zoo

Small child "do you look after monkeys!!!"

Me: "we do look after monkeys at the zoo!"

Teacher: "I also look after monkeys..."

The other end of the sofa I'm sitting on. White and gray Jose is closest, curled with his front legs stretched out. Behind him is similarly colored Zooey, lying on his side. Orange tabby Luca is on top of the backrest.

Evening sofa time.

Just finally finished Ted Lasso season 3, and it’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer in the ways it’s about cultivating non-toxic masculinity, and *good*. That is not a message that needs to be delivered subtly. If it makes us uncomfortable to see open sincerity, we should sit with that discomfort.

I get the impression most people didn't like S03 at all, that seemed to be the sentiment... I thought it was fine and good and 'Sunflowers' was one of my favorite episodes of the whole series (also, 'Beard After Hours')

Oh, Canada! Mboko's magical run continues into Montreal final Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko's magical ride in Montreal will continue into the championship match after she saved a match point to outlast Elena Rybakina in the semifinals.

If you're applauding the end of the separation of powers and whatnot, may you be haunted by the ghosts of every social studies teacher your stupid ass has ever had.

I have been named the new CEO of Astronomer. Shout out to Coldplay and the inventor of the Jumbotron and whatnot.

We grew up so poor we could only read The Gatsby

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Trans folks ain't done shit to you

A look down the shelves of mochi

LA-branded mochi

Our mochi (and dorayaki) selection. I was stressed out by the patrons coming in behind us… I wish I had gotten more striped guys!

we went to Fugetsu-Do, which is a Little Tokyo mochi shop that’s been around since 1903 & picked up some stuff to go see my aunt tomorrow

Increasingly feeling like Dr ChatGPT is really just someone's extremely stoned ADHD younger sibling. "No, I know, but what if you *could*...?"

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Tesla engineers built a proprietary tool to flatten patties for the smash burgers with crisp browned edges, held together with caramelized onions and cheese, which seemed to be on most tables. It lent the dish a superficial whiff of innovation, but the burger didn’t stand out in any meaningful way.

The Tesla Diner is a perfect metaphor for the whole Tesla brand: a bad facsimile of something that already exists, made by people who don't understand what they're recreating, with a thin veneer of superficial futurism on top, for people with no taste or self-respect
