I beat the crap out of the bot today! I don't love how it attributes more to luck than skill, though. There was a thought process behind it, I assure you.

Not used to seeing Wood Storks on the street lights, but this one felt like it was a good place to groom itself.

The ospreys have built their nest, despite the best efforts of the power company to dissuade them.

Why does @kasie.bsky.social have on Patrick McHenry and Rahm Emmanuel? How are they relevant? I wish they'd have fewer talking heads and more reporting from the scene. Give me news, not opinions.

Does @jaketapper.bsky.social not have a copy editor? The chyron misspelled "month" as "moth" and now they left the "O" out of Minneapolis on the video credit. These may be small mistakes, but I find it a reflection of how much people care about their job.

This new Adobe Acrobat jingle is a banger. I always wonder if people who write jingles are sad they're not rock stars, but they should be proud. I've heard some great music in commercials and video games.

Had two words left after my opening word and I picked the wrong one. Never fails. Still, pretty good.

If I wasn't a Buccaneers fan, this game would be fun to watch.
