Flea is one of my heroes, for countless reasons.

He's the perfect example of not being able to judge a book by it's cover, and I'm sure half the people who see this will be surprised...

But Flea is Flea... and he has a Plea.

Papayasu holds a special place in my fan heart.

I feel like our hopes of seeing him in May are pretty slim, but there is no tougher (tricky) customer in the business.

If anyone can fight through this a few more years, it's him.
Not surprisingly, Takayasu's back is a mess, but who's going to tell a raging bear? Not in Japan--not these days.

Papa Bear's official diagnosis is: Degenerative lumbar spine disease w lumbar disc herniation.
His spinal disc has ruptured and the condition of his spine has worsened from ... sumo.

I just make pottery tools now and bake. This is what the world's done to me.

First time trying a heat set insert on a quick print... Was like ten days of waiting for packages for half a minute of work.

JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are critically under listened to.

Change that.

The latest stuff is fantastic, but... today is chill, so let's go for some old soul vibes.

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Thanks to @bcmerchant.bsky.social for laying it out. Thanks for @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social and their @404media.co colleagues for reporting it. We’ve all seen it. Time to actively oppose it when we can.

One way is a vision of what beings instead. Got some ideas below.
If 2023 was the year AI slop was embraced by spammers and social media influencers, and 2024 was the year the slop era began in earnest, 2025 was when slop became embedded in our cultural institutions and social spheres.

On the slop layer that we all must navigate now:
Lost in the slop layer
How AI has encrusted our culture and social sphere in a sedimentary layer of slop.

Me and two dead owls don't give a hoot what you do with your time or who you do it with.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to judge you, if you and your partner are posting pictures of your 40 year old bear selves in adult diapers.

SMH, the things #BlueSky thinks you want to see as a sumo fan.

Head down Friday vibes.

Black Books take us on a journey with Rain Dance. It hits a certain note that's hard to label... Uhh... Band of Horses discovered Mushrooms and went for a walk in the woods?

Yep. Let's go with that.

If you do this, you likely qualify for some of those juicy disability grants we get in Canada.

It will also make you indigenous and an immigrant to maximize that return.

Capital gains? Yes I would like some thanks.
hey what if i use a machine that can't do math to help with my taxes

Not much beats a Korean chicken bowl if you wanna make something delicious with your partner.

My lady's julienne'n has really popped off. She had it all done before I had the basil mayo made.

Hell yeah.

... They don't have to look entirely like slop to be bowls, folks.

We drank a little too much and DoorDashed some nuggets which I had to dip in the hottest of sauces.

My body is rejecting these choices.

The cats are waiting for death to take me so they can feast upon my nuggetty corpse.

One has fallen asleep.

I will outlast the other.

Tried an easy pizza and lahmacun crust recipe cause my pizza dough is a 3 day affairm. This is a 60/40 spelt, wheat and overnight ferment without barley malt. Better than expected but it needs a higher temp.

Spicy Vodka sauce, gruyere, provolone, feta, garlic rubbed and sea salt crust.
