Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

Oh the great fun of a whole series of migraine triggers while you’re seriously congested. The lightning pain behind the eyes when you cough or sneeze. Where is that magic pill to make everything better?

I hate the feeling of being sick. But this goes beyond what I would expect. It’s almost like a fight or flight agitation that really doesn’t make sense. At least the sore throat portion has subsided. Now it’s more dealing with congestion wrapped in mild panic.

i’d like to thank that person who couldn’t figure out the process of covering their mouth when they coughed all day long. Glad that you used all your PTO on travel so you can efficiently spread your germs from lack of time off when sick. Guess my two weeks is laying in bed with 3 boxes of tissue

I am not sure if this is going to be some wicked cold or if it’s some freak of nature. I’ve got a horrible burning sore throat that has been going on for days now. Not turning into congestion. Gargling doesn’t help, only drinking hot water with honey.

I've taken the leap to see if @somafm.com is interested in my music. The song EC1 that I wrote last year when writing chill. Here is the video on YouTube. youtu.be/-CJ0foIe-84 If you enjoy it, please let the folks #SomaFM know so hopefully it will be added to a song rotation playlist.

is it really a deal when Apple jacks up the price by $200 then three weeks later has a sale offering $159 off? to me it still selling for more than it should from the unjustified price increase. #notonsale do they think we are fools

I don’t know what everyone else does, but to me it feels like an iPad without a case feels just too thin and like it would bend with use. My 1st gen iPad Pro 11” case is slowly disintegrating but you can’t buy a replacement I like

Down side to being old is how much you think you remember but actually don’t. I ordered a knob to replace the broken plastic handle on our microwave the snapped. I misremembered having expoxy that I actually threw out. I was at the store that sells expoxy to get the knob. Another project delayed

Slowly and in methodical order the pull out drawers for the potting station I promised my wife for our 15th wedding anniversary is getting done. Now it may be past our 25th but it is now one drawer closer to complete. Glued up with 12 clamps and right angles to make it square.

Apple is supposed to wow and delight us tomorrow. With What? a new foldable phone likely nobody wants and an equally irrelevant watch. why so negative. they miss the mark most of us have. Give up functionality but make it last. i don’t need 4.3x faster if it won’t turn on when i need it.

Another unintended consequence of ADHD. I have been listening to and audiobook by Steven King, and it’s a really gripping and wonderful storyline. its on my iPad Books app so if I listen for 20 min it gives me a 😀 check. And says the last streak was 16 days.

three weeks into the #diet and it seems i am seeing some results. the fist week i knew was going to be hell. the thought of trying to drink 4L of water every day. Now on week three it seems to be achievable but still takes some mental commitment. But 2lbs lost is still two less to achieve 20 in 3M

Using the official BSky app on an iPad is impossible, but I have figured out that if I delete the app it now lets me access BlueSky through my web browser that is thousands of times better and much easier to use. Just got to relearn not to hunt for the app and think safari.

I broke down and bought a year subscription to audible. Yes, I was weak. broke the no US companies til Trump is out vow, but I don’t want my brain to atrophy and listening to books helps me keep what mental power is left. Now I’ve got to choose 12 more books to enjoy this year. Any recommendations?

At this point I'm pretty sure no one who negotiates with this administration expects it to either offer a reasonable deal or to honor the terms of the deal once it's been set. The question is whether to treat it like the unreliable bully it is. We have Canada's answer, for now at least.

I did finally get my desktop finished and installed. That allowed me go get my old Mac mini (2014) out from the closet and start to use it again. Of course it made issues with remembering old stuff like how much macOS has changed from OSX10.11 to what is now.
