Thys weeke hath me thinkinge about how much Ich love New Yorke Citye. The finest poeme evir composid. A place of love that doth express itself not yn wordes but yn deedes. A place made for everyone who doth choose to call it home. The heart of beautye and foolishnesse and romance and song. Forevir.

A black and brown tabby cat is curled into a tight ball. The cat’s markings accentuate the form.

Look, I know I'm privileged to have health insurance. Still, when my Dr. has to reschedule my annual appt at the last minute, and her only availability means I, in turn, need to reschedule a GYN appt that I need for an Rx renewal... and the next available is 2 more months out... yeah, I'm annoyed.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

My "smart" sprinkler timer keeps setting itself a 24-hour* delay because the forecast says rain, but IT DOESN'T RAIN. #parched #COwx *It only runs 2x/week, so a delay actually pushes it to the next scheduled runtime

This year’s theme at #ACE26 is Water Heroes, and Xylem is donating $ to #WaterEquation for every person who gets “Hero-ized” at their exhibition hall booth. Who could turn that down? You don’t have cholera, and you’re welcome!

Repost with your first crush.
On the set of the film American Graffiti, actor Paul Le Mat sits on the front wheel of his character’s 1932 Ford coupe hot rod. Though the photo is black and white, the car’s paint color is famously “somewhere between piss yellow and puke green,” according to rival character Bob Falfa, played by Harrison Ford.

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?
