Yeah, this article very eloquently captures how I feel at the present point in time and why I’m seriously considering abandoning a 25 year career as a web developer.

Had Canada been treating us fairly, this would never have happened. So buckle up Canada, you’re taking on Goliath.

Hey quick question does Goliath win in that story?

“Another experiment found that users still listened to AI when it gave them the wrong answer nearly 80 percent of the time — a grim trend the researchers dubbed “cognitive surrender.”” Cognitive Surrender is a horrifically perfect term.

I make raku pottery. Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨ These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥 If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏 Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙
A 6 image montage of raku pottery work by Alchemy. On the top left is a stout vase with reds, blues and violets. To the right is a teardrop shaped piece in green and red with bubbles. To the far right is a copper coloured vase in a classic shape with greys and browns and glaze peeling.

On the bottom row is a bulbous turquoise vase with raku cracks and flecks of gold. In the centre is a gazing orb in coppers, silvers and blues on a pedestal. On the bottom right is a turquoise vase with cracking and bubbles in a classic shape.

Every moment that he's not impeached and removed from office is another moment of failure. Every moment broadcasts to the world that Congress doesn't value human life and is happy to embrace war crimes.

I attended the most recent funeral of my friend who keeps faking his own death. A woman got up and said she would miss him and that he had "a certain kitsch appeal as a lover". Another woman agreed, a little later a guy who looked like my friend, but with a beard, spoke and said "he was a stallion".

I believe it was Socrates who first said “Only a fucking idiot would ask the internet for advice.” It sounded way cooler in Greek, though.
