Live look at me standing in my living room waiting for the new couch to be delivered that's replacing the cheap one the cats destroyed.

Suggestion for a new addition to the @apnews.com Stylebook:

The word "weird" should never be used to describe artificial intelligence. This is to ensure stories don't unintentionally implicate @alyankovic.bsky.social.

"Preternatural AI" - ✅
"Weird AI" - ❌
"Strange AI" - ✅
"Baffling AI" - ✅

Added some @tmbg.bsky.social to my collection. The nice thing about ordering vinyl through the mail is they always arrive in record time.

"Ate Paul F Tompkins' abandoned burrito" would be a pretty epic profile bio.

Grant Beery @voteforgrant.com · Sep 10

Paul F. Tompkins. The F stands for "burrito Fairy".

Paul F. Tompkins @pftompkins.bsky.social · Sep 10

Hello, I didn’t check the delivery address when I ordered some Chipotle delivery just now so if you are in Chicago and would like a chicken burrito go to:

The Chicago Hotel Ambassador
1301 N State Pkwy
Chicago, IL 60610

It’s at the front desk. Enjoy!

Got a couple boxes of @avalanche.bsky.social memorabilia in my garage that should go to a fan who has the room for displaying it. Pucks, glassware, poms, bobbleheads, McFarlane figures, and more from 1996 to 2020. Free to a good home, just need to pay for shipping. DM me or repost pls.

I asked Gemini to add an event from an email to my calendar. The event is taking place in December at 7pm. Gemini made an event for September 5th (four days ago) at 10:50pm.

Nailed it.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.
