I’ve been playing around with Nano Banana (#AI image generation software) for work. It … may not quite be ready for prime time. I want to make “But how to made” my mantra but if it’s proprotraity I might not be able to.

We have a ridiculously cute #puppy staying with us for house training. And cuddles. Lots and lots of cuddles. #dogs

Even NFL referees, the only group possibly more hated than ICE in the US these days, don’t hide their faces behind masks though it’s freezing cold. And he’s making a call that goes against the home team!

This post from @minakimes.bsky.social has showed up in my Discover feed every day for (checks notes) 16 days in a row. I alternate between outrage at the algorithm for serving old content, and astonishment that it keeps being just as true day after day after day.

I feel like #Smiths and #Kroger are not the reliable narrators my shopping life needs.

People in drug ads always look so happy it makes me wish I had whatever disease the drug is for.

Revisiting this restaurant in OGDEN, UTAH because I learned "Ombu" means "Free Food Poisoning" in Japanese. Probably.

I bet the buffet line is a slow-moving conveyer belt, the food starting out as sushi & cooking into #Cajun food the longer it takes, before ending up in a gumbo pot.

I am embarrassed to admit how long I stared at this flag from my walk yesterday trying to figure out what country it's from. #NFL #Patriots

Songs I sing to the dogs on our walks:

• “What are we Snifferating?”
• “5 Bags of Poop on a 2 Dog Walk (That Math Ain’t Mathing)”
• “Cooper is a Hedonist”
• “Please Don’t Drag Me Into Traffic”
• “Snow Snax!!”

How I haven’t been arrested yet for public stupidity I don’t know.

What could possibly go wrong with a sushi and Cajun buffet in OREM, UTAH!

For our non-American friends, Orem, Utah is very, very far from oceans containing seafood, and from Cajuns.

I feel sure, though, that making it a buffet can only increase both the health and quality of the offerings.

Great movie! And the poster is awesome, I’ve had it since college.

Having previously retrieved the Stickiest Stick That Ever Sticked, Finn manifested a Very Large Tennis Ball on our walk which also — and I cannot stress this enough — squeaks Very Much when squozed. #dogs #pets

Iowa State fans really putting the “mid” in Mid-West with this attempted celebration from the Iowa State / BYU game today. #collegefootball #byu #cyclones #cfb

Hello to Sahara from Finn! He doesn’t have as nice a tree to show her but he DOES have a tennis ball he manifested during a walk.
