Ive seen lots of tributes to Tim Curry, but none featuring my introduction to him. Can't say that I liked the performance as a kid (because he was the bad guy), but now I can watch his in Annie all day

Tim Curry as Rooster, a con man, who is working with Miss Hannagan to exploit money in the musical Annie. he has a mustache and slicked back hair

Did a search in @kagi.com & an AI summary came up. I PAY for kagi so this does not happen. Went into settings and all that crap was on. I did not turn it on, so it must now be on by default. Not cool, @kagi.com, not cool.

I am conflicted about getting a Lomi (food recycler). On one hand nature decomposes without the need for an expensive machine to heat/grind up stuff. But we need a new approach to composting, so machine it is. So far every time it runs we marvel at the results like it’s Christmas morning

Saw about 125 white fringed orchids today - most of them not yet flowering, but a few were. (Location in metadata intentionally wrong)

A white- flowered terrestrial orchid among green, long leaved grasses. The flowers have petals with fringes on them. There are several buds near the top of the inflorescence

Bird folks - do downy woodpeckers nest on the early side compared to other birds? Do they tend to have multiple clutches a year? Is there a good resource that covers these sorts of things for common birds?

People who are talking about young people needing to learn AI because they’ll get left behind have it exactly opposite. People need to figure out how to navigate the world expertly without AI so that then AI becomes a really helpful tool.

The fact that our required syllabus is not branded is a missed opportunity. Seriously, it is THE most boring looking document I have seen in a while (at least it is using accessible headings, which I was skeptical they were going to use)
