1. I have absolutely not been “thinking about getting Pocket”. 2. I do not need articulation training. 3. I will not be transforming my body in 28 days with military calisthenics. 4. No amount of animated sharks or fat lions will make me take a test. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

I run an art social media site called Sketch a Day. Occasionally we get reports of AI generated art being posted. When I contact the artists to ask if they can prove they did the work themselves. Of all the people who argue and are rude about it, 100% of them it turns out used AI.

Shipped 4 rhyme dictionary upgrades to Chorus today. My favorite: type "hurt me" and get "mercy" or “dirty” back or even some great phrases for internal rhymes. Video below shows all four in one actual lyric.

Does anyone I know on here write songs or know anyone that does? You may not know but I sell a piece of songwriting software called Chorus, and I’m looking for research participants. I will pay $50 or give a free year of Chorus for your help. Please pass this on!

I kept noticing from various unite tweets that I have been blocked by random accounts that I’ve never interacted with or even heard of. Checked clear sky and apparently I’m on a bunch of lists claiming I’m: - anti AI - anti trans - pro Trump - “possibly a nazi” - pro elon musk Like…what??

Having children forced you to consider some of life’s impossible questions, like “could a pig smash a wheel off a formula one car?” Or “could a pig fit in a formula one car?” Or “could Joe Marler lift up a pig?”
