Sometimes me being too lazy to type out a cherrypick is alarmingly dangerous

Even for AI, it's Friday 🫠
A Cursor AI chat window where the user asks "wait, rather than remove redundent tests where functionality had been moved, you CREATED CODE to pass the tests?" and the AI responds "You're absolutely right! I apologize for that approach. Instead of creating missing..." and it trails off.

Trump is going to jail
A screenshot of the birthday message Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein depicting a line drawing silhouette of an undeveloped female figure with the words - voice over: there must be more to life than having everything. Donald: yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is. Jeffrey: nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: we have certain things in common Jeffrey. Jeffrey: yes we do, come to think of it. Donald: enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey: as a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. Donald: a pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret. Signed Donald J Trump

Well well well 😂

Turns out you can bully car park companies as much as they bully you

😤
A screenshot of an email from the lawyers of the parking company who sued me for a fine, for entering a free car park and leaving again within the permissible free period. I raised a counter claim for stress and time spent defending this claim, so they want me to drop my claim if they drop theirs.

Colouring with Emie this morning, she asked me to do Turtleboy as a Squirtle #bluey #pokemon #imanadultipromise
A printed and hand colored picture of Bingo (a small ginger/brown cartoon dog) from the kids TV show Bluey, holding her toy Turtleboy. Turtleboy is coloured with the likeness of Squirtle from another kids TV show, Pokémon. Squirtle is a light blue turtle-like character with a light yellow underside and shiny purple eyes.

Nailed it.

Her rule arm is now reaching for the tiara A photo of me in my daughters very pink bedroom with rainbow wallpaper wearing here birthday princess tiara. I am now screaming and pulling a face as we see a blur of her arm lifting the tiara away and STEALING it from me. I'm sad :( This one became my Slack profile picture at Work @deepgram.com

A rare glimpse into my marriage #nature #slowlydoesit
Screenshot one; my wife lets me know she just saw tortoise humping at the zoo. Apparently the male was pretty grunty. Includes a photo of one tortoise clumsily climbing onto the another tortoise. Screenshot two; I reply “Teenage Mutant Nympho Turtles”. She found it funny

Said goodbye to my Dad a little over a week ago. And, after a brief illness we thought he was on the road to recovering from, it came as a bit of a shock.

Take nothing for granted, especially time that could be spent together.

It’s me (metaphorically) when I miss my medication
A photo of a section from my “Abusement Park” dbrand.com laptop skin highlighting (with purple marker) a little man set on fire being thrown from the top of a Ferris wheel with my caption “it’s me when I miss my medication (metaphorically)”
