Pinned
I really should pin a post about how I ruthlessly block anyone I get a weird vibe from. Like, Elon Musk and Keanu Reeves have both made like 3 different accounts so they can follow me because I keep blocking them.
I'm a nobody don't follow me me unless there's a good reason to.

I am cautiously optimistic that we may be past this particular episode of HaNa being in heat 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻
However, as a precaution I'll be sleeping with earbuds and the active noise control on.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…
“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”
Way to devalue my experience.

Language isn’t statistics, which is why they’ll never fix this
OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

Look at this lovely creature. So innocent.
As if she hasn't been keeping us awake for the past 4 nights screaming for a mate as she is in heat!!! She came to us spayed, but apparently not completely 🤷🏻♂️🤔

Pratchett's co-author of Good Omens talked about how Terry wasn't jolly but rather angry. Looking at this quote from Wyrd Sisters puts that comment into perspective I think.

Wouldn't be a #WyrdWednesday without Necropants!
Need money? Icelandic tradition would advise (though I would not) you dig up a dead man and make from his skin Nábrók, Death Underpants. They're not stylish, but when you've got money, you set the style, right?

Here’s a poem called ‘Talking Down’.
I saw someone saying they were older than Google online and that the younger people being surprised. Of course I couldn't resist checking and discovered that I'm WAY OLDER than Google.
Of course I also first got online on a 14'400 baud modem, used Kermit, and frequented a BBS...

Someone just finished writing a novel.
Spoiler: It was me.
It's called "Monsters of Ohio," it's my 20th novel, and it'll be out in November.
I hope you'll like it.
I'm very tired.
