Am currently making fun of a vendor's beta AI product by betting on how fast I can hit the guardrails by having a "conversation" with Foucault. Plus it's always fun to send this meme.

I haven't decided where "gay" should go.

It’s been 6 hours, there’s tacos for dinner, I’m surrounded by domestic bliss and still furious about this entire post. @librarypunk.bsky.social, I think I need to come visit about this, the richest text about AI.

I’m not putting Marc Andreesen’s bullshit in alt text for users who need it. Nobody deserves that. Anyway it’s his idea of building an impartial chatbot with a prompt that magically with rainbow sparkles fixes everything and he’s so generously shared it with all of us, absolute fucking houseplant of a person anyway I’m sorry for not providing alt text but no one should have to read it including me.

I left out a cardboard box and packing paper overnight. One of the cats is making the most incredible racket digging this morning but it’s her favorite activity. She was rescued from a recycling bin so maybe it feels cozy?

I had trouble soldering the bezels on today and need more practice with the third hand tool. But every time I practice I get a little better.

Cut into a soap loaf this morning. Everything looks like bread. The center will darken to match the edges as it cures. This uses a coffee fragrance oil with coffee grounds added to the batter.

I made a ring! It is too big for me and uneven and I kind of hate/adore how bad I am at this but I hammered and soldered and did the thing.

Note the presence of the perfectly good, heated bed next to the box. I pointed this out and she shifted, I heard a paper crinkle, and I understood it was the superior spot.

Honestly. This is embarrassing for many reasons, not the least of which is he could have fixed the problem by taking it on himself and handling it with the university directly.

Pekoe has persisted in her goal of disassembling the water fountain every day for almost 2 years. The Velcro-like patches my partner used to hold it down worked well until tonight, when Pekoe finally achieved the dream and was surprised when water went everywhere.
