& am I grateful to find the little things I managed to save; tokens of the life they tried to erase? Yes I am. Despite the discouraging & heartbreaking reminder that the lawfare began in 2010, the fact I survived to shitpost about that today is an #EpicWin & that, friends, is a helluva thing.

I found more cool stuff! From 2003 & 2005 & 2006/7. The postcard is from my 1st trip to Rome when I got to meet Fr. Angelo. Yes, indeed, you see a program for Spamalot, Book & Lyrics by the one & only @ericidle.bsky.social ! And #iykyk the Lennon musical & it's brief run, despite the talented cast.

I discovered a storage bin with valuable stuff. A picture tells a story with a billion words. 2006 & 2014 & 2016 are the years documented in the pic. The name Weinstein is there too. And, yes, fellow nerds, a T.S. Eliot edition for Everyman's Pocket Library of Poets. Found my fave book! Huzzah!

Text message chain between two people. K asks, "The creation of fake news?" And as the Sender is responding to that, K posts another thought, " It's part of their capital regime, a part of the dark AI software Empire" 
Sender replies  "Ohh my God yes to your first question yes 800 zillion times 896,456,239,486.314" 
And then continues, "Okay ready for the best thing ever you need to watch this one3 minute video from the Norwegian consumer council then there is a second video ready???" K replies, "Yep."

Here's the thing: *Dad* loved it. The rest of the house? Meh. Not so much. So when he stopped making it all the time, did we miss it? Nope! So when he came home with that BJ's "special" back in the Spring I thought, "Aw, cute, he's making meat loaf again." Boy was I wrong. (Ps. Glazed loaf!)

With #AltText I guess the NYT feeds headlines to an LLM with a prompt, "Sanewash this," until it comes out, not to hot, not too cold, but juuuust right.
Headline reads "Trump wants to give out $5000 checks. It would cost more tha $1 trillion." Underneath in smaller, italicized text, "The president's pledge to hand every American adult a "dividend" if Republicans keep control of Congress in the midterm election raises questions."

this may be the boot I have been trying to find for 4+ years STAY FOR THE #AltText #HolyBoots #FrockingFabulous
Crafted full grain leather ankle boot with a single zipper up the front to secure on foot. 1 inch heal with thick tread.Axis Pro Tread Details. Looks like this puppy can walk on ice & not slip. Opposite side profile of the boot just to give you a sense that while it may be leather, this beast is built for slogging through muddy fields to catch horses, shoveling horse shit out of a stall and similar forms of manual labor on cement floors, grooming and tacking a wily horse who snaps and bucks when you tighten the saddle girth, walking in sandy mud puddles to an outdoor riding ring, putting your foot in the stirrup and getting on the horse without a leg up, riding a 75 minute dressage and hunter training session, dismounting on hard AF ground, untacking the horse, grooming it again, and leading it back to its field or stall. Then brushing the boots clean of dirt, apply a bit of saddle soap, and running late, jog through the rain puddles from the parking lot and into a church with marble floors to get vested in an alb and serve as a Eucharistic Minister at the altar for the BCP Celebration of Holy Eucharist, Rite II.

"The agents colonized a German Wiki site and leveraged it to cheat on tests" is framing the context of a computer program designed to operate by humans. Don't you think that framing is irresponsible? Specifically using the word "colonize" to describe the actions of a computer program?
