for all my new followers: thank you for your trust :)
as you might have noticed, my profile is pretty empty at the minute beside a very angry rant after the american election night.
I’m staying away from social media as much as I can and I’m living a better life because of this decision.

@nirnaeth.bsky.social and I finally have the in depth discussion about LLMs, how we use it, and what we think it might evolve into. We also touch on starting to pay more and more stuff.

This is Larry Football. His human likes to sell things on Facebook Marketplace. Larry is always there to greet customers. Because every transaction should include a dog. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Stephanie Sprowls)

Oh, this is neat.
I've mostly moved to RSS for newsletters, where possible. When not, there's kill-the-newsletter.com
That way, my email remains my mail and I can consume articles from a completely separate app.

If you're into fragrances, as I am, go to real perfumers. Some of my favs:
AbdesSalaam Attar: Self-taught Sufi perfumer who only uses natural ingredients. Many of his perfumes feel like you're walking through a Middle Eastern bazaar. Milano Caffe, Cuoio dei Dolci, and Tabac are worth a sniff.

Lady Minerva loves to go enjoy a summer rain shower!
Vultures = Clean!
They purify the environment by efficiently removing dangerous toxins (their digestive systems can neutralize anthrax, botulism, rabies, etc) and they spend a lot of time keeping clean themselves, too! 🪶

Minerva turned 42 this year!🎉
Did you know that vultures are such long lived birds?
Turkey vultures like Minerva can live into their 50s, and larger vultures like Andean Condors can make it into their 60s and 70s, possibly even older than that! 🪶

This is Scotty. He’s a little guy with bad behavioral problems. With your help, he was able to enter a specialized training program to work on that. Through positive reinforcement, he's made incredible progress. He's now happily adopted — and will continue working with his trainer, who adores him ❤️🩹
