Finished Volga Blues by Marzio G. Mian yesterday, a clandestine journey into modern Russia. A fascinating, engaging book. #booksky

Finished reading My Stupid Intentions by Bernardo Zannoni today. An existentialist fable from the perspective of a beech marten. What does it mean to be animal? Are we better off not knowing? A unique novel, beautiful and cruel, strongly recommend! #booksky

OpenAI's products are utterly unnecessary and run off of stolen human-made content. Students don't need them. Teachers don't need them. None of us need this regurgitated AI slop that didn't even exist four years ago.

Tore through both of these this week. Fascinating, hilarious… boy, does North America ever get dealing with death wrong.

People think LLM stands for Large Language Model, but it's actually "Lots and Lots of Monkeys". This in an homage to the technology's origins where a million monkeys were chained to typewriters until one accidentally produced something resembling useful text. This model was deemed unsustainable.

I love the beauty and especially the sound of the ice, but very grateful to have power restored after 15 hours! What luxury to have the heat on and the kettle boiling. Not a bad thing to get a reminder of how lucky that is once in a while.

Been thinking a lot about this gravestone I spotted in St. Andrews, Scotland a few years ago.

Is it that women face additional barriers to using ChatGPT, or is it just that men are more easily impressed by the magical bullshit machine? www.psypost.org/new-research...

A screenshot of an article reading, "When examining demographic differences, the researchers discovered a gender gap. Women were 16 percentage points less likely than men to use ChatGPT, even when comparing workers in the same occupation with similar job responsibilities. This gender disparity persisted across all measured indicators of adoption, suggesting that women face additional barriers to using the technology."

A 25% book tariff will be catastrophic for Canadian indie bookshops like mine. Please read @kingsbookstore.bsky.social's thread about this complicated, horrible situation and make your voice heard - the government is taking feedback until April 2. forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cm7upm...

Like many Canadians, I wasn’t born in Canada, and my identity has felt complicated at times. But right now, I’ve never felt more Canadian. Simmering rage is an understatement.

Finished the Two Saints Way! I walked 150 km from Lichfield to Chester Cathedral, following the path of medieval pilgrims to St. Werburgh’s shrine. Climbed hills, crossed muddy fields, stayed in pubs, a vicar’s shed & a castle - hardest thing I’ve ever done & so worth it. #walking #pilgrimage

Ahh, how quickly I went from luxury castle accommodation to being trapped under a canal bridge in the pouring rain! Last day of my pilgrimage, honestly surprised it’s the first real rain I’ve had to deal with in 10 days walking.

My humble accommodations for the evening. Not even joking, it was the closest place to where I was going and a great last minute bargain. 2 hours ago I was exhausted in a mucky field, now I’m in a luxurious castle - for the same price as the pub I stayed at last night. Can’t believe my luck!

A suggestion that the mother of Jesus and her child favour MARIA needles when playing music on their phonogram. It could be any mother and child but then again it's designed to make you think 'this ensures the holiest and purest sound available for a human ear to buy'
