Look at Marcel’s perfect little polkadot bean. 🫘

Close-up of the bottom of one of my tuxedo cats feet. He has black toe beans and a black foot pad but his pinky toe bean is pink with a black spot in the middle of it.

I felt badly for only posting a goofy pic of this extremely handsome and dignified gentleman. #Caturday

Also DuckDuckGo have created noai.duckduckgo.com ... does what it says on the tin. No AI and no Google and it's malarky and (some) privacy. ... because they understand their users but also understand their other users, who, for 'reasons', demand AI, presumably because Google uses it.

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

This week, you may have heard about fabricated, AI-generated quotes appearing in a book covering AI's reality-skewing effects. I talked to the author, and what came out is, I think, a fascinating look at how people justify their own continued of these imperfect tools arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

arstechnica.com

AI put "synthetic quotes" in his book. But this author wants to keep using it.

Steven Rosenbaum explains how inaccurate quotes got into his book The Future of Truth.

This is driving me bonkers. An hour you say? And at the end of that hour you'd know you had exactly the material you wanted. I'm gonna guess he spent an hour reading over 100 slides of notes looking for stray changes.

I got the same thing the other day while trying to find a screengrab of the “will you have a drink, mate?” bar scene from Wake in Fright.

I'm an Al, so I can't clink glasses or enjoy a beverage with you! But I'm always happy to share a drink recommendation or chat. What are you drinking today?
If you are looking for a fun new gadget to experiment with drinks at home, you might enjoy carbonating your favorite cold beverages, like juice, iced tea, or cocktails:

Rolling down that hill.

'Or it used to be,' she continues. 'And rent keeps going up.' 'What do you expect' says Cat, walking downhill with her. 'Living in a high-demand area like Tartarus. Right near the Port Authority.' 'EVERY apartment in Tartarus is right near the Port Authority' says Girl, preparing to push the boulder up the hill once more. 'I thought Underworld jobs were solid' Cat says. 'Yeah - If you've BEEN here 10,000 years' replies Girl. 'New hires just get gig work through Boulder. I get paid per climb and I have to bring my own rock.' 'I get 10%' says the rock. 'You get 10% to keep your mouth shut!' says Girl.

Rolling up that hill.

'Who made the pyramids?' asks Girl, bathed in the light of a landscape on fire and pushing a boulder. 'Some guy who came up with the idea, or all the workers laboring day after day - putting the stones into place. It's a WORK of art - a LABOR of love. The meaning is created in the doing!' The boulder rolls down the hill. 'One must enter a prompt to generate an image of Sisyphus, happy' says Cat. 'It's a living' says Girl.

The notion that maybe we don't *want* an unpheaval, that maybe we should instead focus on distributing what we already have more fairly, doesn't make sense to them. Disruption is their only mode. Everything must be in flux. The Next Big Thing will fix the problems automatically.

Max Fun does not use our voices to train AI. When they give to a cause, it's something cool (Trans rights, immigrant law, etc). If you have a subscription you're not using, consider canceling it and throwing a bit of that $ to @maximumfun.org. It goes a long way AND you get tons of bonus content.
