BREAKING: I've just learned that there are teeny-tiny chameleons called stumped-tailed chameleons and they look like this AND I CANNOT HANDLE IT

A getty image by Mike Powles of a chameleon that is mall enough to sit on someone's thumb, its tail is curling ever so slightly

another getty image, this time by Alexis Rosenfeld, of another stump-tailed chameleon, this one small enough to sit comfortably on the tip of someone's thumb. Its mouth is slightly open, and its little toes are so small it is making me want to die a little bit.

Also it definitely has a center, which is "it sucked to be Polish in the early 1900s and also Texas is beautiful"

DAYS OF HEAVEN, which is set in the period before America entered the First World War, is all visual bombast; it has no center and is full of dissociated silent-movie emotions. (1978)

Leaving Boston this morning only to stay right next to a Dunkin

On the plus side there's a connected taco place+Dunkin five feet from the motel, so what I'm trying to say is that Austin is a land of contrasts

So what you're saying is that it was either Camillo Teti or Orlando Corradi.

If my half hour stopover in Dallas a few months back is any indication, Austin has a long way to go before it can be considered a major American parking lot. 80% highway, that place

Got into town today and didn't rent a car bc the airport prices were nuts

Turns out that was a bad idea bc I don't feel like taking a Lyft whenever I want to leave my motel

Austin is a vibrant city with amazing cultural and natural amenities, and the city is designed to kill you if you try walking anywhere

"sure, most of our voice data is from teams meetings, but talking *through* a computer is just a step away from talking *to* a computer, and ol' Gil's not gonna let this opportunity slip away!"

This quote makes way more sense of you read it in Gil from The Simpsons's voice

鋼のStephen Meyerink @sjmtaelus.bsky.social · 10h

this is an absolutely unhinged connection to make. literally the thing that every single teams user reports is that they HATE IT

THEY'RE IN TEAMS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE FOR THEIR JOB

"All the data that we see is when people use voice, they love it," says Mehdi. Some of that data is the billions of minutes that people spend talking in Microsoft Teams meetings. "They're talking through their c omputers today, and I think this change to 'talk with and talk to' will come to reality and we'll see this thing really take off," says Mehdi.

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.
