Happy New Frisbee Day to all who celebrate, but especially to my dog
A photo of a new Chuckit! soft frisbee I got for my dog next to the one she pretty much tore to shreds through daily use.

Same, Claude... hard same
An error message from Anthropic's "Claude" AI just saying "Overloaded" without providing any more context. I felt this deep in my soul of souls.

Not sure how this happened, but I’ve somehow biked 25,000 kilometers (~15.5K miles) on #Zwift since October 2020.

I’m not the fastest or the strongest rider. I’ve just learned to find some peace when I ride.

In a word: gaslighting. Did SSA send this to literally everyone?
An email from the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the United States. The subject line and headline image states: "Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors".

Early morning walk with ya girl
A morning view looking up a short hill at Eamonn Ceannt park in Dublin, Ireland. Trees and a bright sky framing a mowed path through the grass. Lola, aka ya girl, aka the hellbeast, destroyer of worlds.

I am here, once again, *begging* Slack to stop sending the same email many times to a single person who's in many slack communities

Same goes for in-app onboarding messages, upgrade messages, settings & configuration, etc etc
Several emails I received from Slack about AI updates they've made that includes a call-to-action to upgrade to a paid plan. They send out an email like this for each of the communities I'm in, which is… a lot.

We moved from the US to Ireland nearly 6 and a half years ago, but I was still shocked when this showed up in the mail today.

I guess I'm home now. ❤️ 🇮🇪
