This is how you handle AI "music" as a streaming company. First you don't allow monetization then you allow people to turn that shit off. A+ Tidal!

So proud of my 10yo son. Watched a few YouTube videos and painted flame damage on his #Warhammer40k flamethrower 🤯

Not a bad view for reading @restingdinoface.bsky.social's book, "When the Earth Was Green"! Already 1/4 through and really enjoying it.

Assembled my first Warhammer 40k miniature. It's a Death Guard, Lord of Virulence. Going to attempt to paint it close to parade ready but also wanted to make it a bit mossy. May be grand intentions. #warhammer40k #miniature

Not as relaxing as a gummy but relaxing none the less. Probably only the second set I have done alone too (well in quite some time). Another addition to the potted trees in my office.

Lego set of a Japanese maple bonsai tree. The leaves are a mix of reds and oranges and the tree itself is a light pale color. It sits in a dark green tray with light green moss. The completed set is sitting on a wooden table.

The juxtaposition of these two posts is uncanny

A screenshot of two posts on Bluesky next to each other on the timeline. The first post is a screenshot of a Threads interaction where one person is asking if it's ok to shame 40+ year old people for being on social media. The reply to that comment goes into various details about early social media and Internet usage detailing how they were there from the start and ends with the line "I have a username older than you". The next post on Bluesky says "we turned away from the light when we invented a way to online without the computer screaming in warning."

Attempted to darn a hole in my jeans. It came out alright. The instructions weren't very clear on how to finish.

Made some Spam musabi tonight. Was pretty good and easy to make.

I switched to Tidal from Spotify, because, war money. My biggest gripe is that there doesn't seem to be any vetting for artists & their actual catalog. I have seen several bands, like Cake, where a lesser band w the same name's discography is mixed in. And no process to report it either.

Screenshot from Tidal showing the artist Cake's discography which has another band named Cake's titles mixed in.

I have never reported a Door Dash driver before, especially since the ones we usually have are friendly and kind and just trying to earn a buck. Most times, the messages are just "On my way" etc. Today we got this:

Yesterday, I was spiraling again from reading all the news. So I stepped out into nature. I captured some of that for you.

Saw this license plate in NH today. On first glance it appears racist leaning at least. Based on the driver's arm, they were white. It's the sticker next to the license plate that has me even more intrigued. Does anyone know what it's for? Google search was fruitless. #isThisRacist #whatIsIt

Great read but bummed I didn't have more to read over vacation. Highly recommend "I Do Not Apologize for My Position on Men" by @raewilde.bsky.social.

With very little of good left in our "country", I give you Socks napping in a position I could only achieve in my youth.

Jassy is a clown and just parroting the buffoons at DOGE. He's happy to lose talented staff who have self respect and keep a staff full of bootlickers like himself. www.thestreet.com/employment/a...
