Very well then I contradict myself,

"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."

"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.'
But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

A mystery for the ages. Who has access to the code, is only moderately skilled at such things, expresses weird ideas about race, has connections to South Africa, and is likely to be up at 3am? The world may never know.

I almost have a joke about Tantalus, but the punchline is just out of reach.
I have a joke about Sisyphus, but once it gets rolling, it never really ends.
I have a joke about Theseus, but it needs a bit of work.

Well, I heard there was a wildfire with a 3.5 mile evacuation radius 5 miles from my home. I learned this with about 10 minutes left in class. Evacuation order lifted when class ended, but I rushed home nonetheless, and my dogs are okay, so that's good.

I will sing this song every day of my life. I sing the body electric. Let me have my file!
I don’t want the file on the cloud. I want it on my hard drive, on my computer, in my office, where I live.
