About to eat at mangal on Arcola Street for the first time in over 15 years. Hope it hasn't changed
I thought the face doctor on Bali was the gayest man I'd ever met. But I think today's hot pilates teacher may have edged him out.
Back at Portrait Club for the first time in many moons and sure I've forgotten how to draw....

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 2d agoHouse of Dragons has had some ups and downs but I do think it's compulsively watchable and well-acted. The dragon battles this season have been outrageous. It probably helps that I never read the GRRMSilmarillion or any related footnotes. (Do not tell me anything or I will wrath you into the sun.)
Amazing how much better one can feel for a 15-minute meditation, and amazing how hard it is to get around to it

Beginning to think that dancing all night then walking 20k over uneven terrain might not have been the best thing for my poor Achilles.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Impressive to combine AI stupidity and basic ignorance so deftly.
PBS News@pbsnews.org · 6d agoThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

"Sink your teeth into" is such an unappetising phrase and a phrase, I think, like "pampering" in beauty, that's only ever used by copywriters.
Google image search has got a lot worse. Is this AI?
