Cesare Cuzzola @cesare.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Not sure what's bothering me more, the gendering of gingerbread or the AI slop 000
Cesare Cuzzola @cesare.bsky.social · 12/11/2025"Save time by creating an AI summary," Adobe screams, as I spend 5 minutes hiding AI pop-ups and suggestions 000
Cesare Cuzzola @cesare.bsky.social · 05/11/2025There has to be a better way to request academic journal peer reviews that doesn't involve automated email requests and absolutely no human contact throughout. I say yes when I can, but when even the thank-yous are automated and my name is misspelled, I can't help but question the system a little! 000
Cesare Cuzzola @cesare.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Mandatory 30-minute session of sitting down and staring at the sea every time I happen to be in Brighton. Highly recommend 000

This is 'Brandy Martell, 400 block of 13th Street near Franklin Street, Oakland, CA' from Project 42.
