The Big Guy is deadheading the roses. The Retriever wandered into the house and brought me this. I think she's auditioning for The Bachelorette.

The latest addition to our Expansion Pack. 🙄
This is Friendly Neighbor Dog's "nephew."
He's six months of pit/boxer/fence-jumper mix. He's cute, but he's A LOT. Not too sure if his very busy family is really up for the challenge of how much dog he's going to be. Just broke up a small skirmish. I do like his "guy liner" around his eyes, and his butt markings look like he's wearing a Speedo. 😄

Trying real hard not to be utterly despondent over the state of the world. 😞
It helps that this adorable lizard took up residence in the gap in my asparagus raised beds and suns itself every afternoon.

This person who responded to the dude who created a data scraper for an AI summary generator is my new hero. 😄
And yes, this "tedious bastard" will be blocking his entitled techbro ass.

That we've failed as a society. Duh. 🙄

@ai6yr Fascinating. Could not help unpacking this from a feminst perspective. Especially this gem:
"Once agreed upon, the only problem came with sizing the most intimate part of the suit assembly, the urinary collection device (UCD) that slid over the astronaut’s penis. After an “incident” with the first astronaut fitted for the device, the UCD’s designations were changed from “Small, Medium, Large” to “Large,” “Extra Large,” and “Extra-Extra Large.”
I've been into Toro y Moi for a while. I got his Unerthed: Hole Erth (unplugged) album #BandcampFriday before last and was instantly obsessed. So this last Bandcamp Friday I got the original Hole Erth. Having fun listening to both interchangeably ala Björk's Post and Telegram. This song in particular is 🔥

While yesterday's mental health maintenance efforts fell well short, today I got The Retriever out for a short hike. Then came home and neighbors had to leave town for a couple of days. So, Friendly Neighbor Dog will be bunking with us. Double the muddy pawprint fun! Plus I get to play guitar this afternoon. 😃

"But for every sf writer who deludes themselves into thinking that they are writing the future, there are a hundred sf fans who believe that they are reading the future, and a depressing number of those people appear to have become AI bros."

@RickiTarr@beige.party Not to mention the dangerous situations they put some of these young people in every day and how they admonish them not to tell their families about anything bad happening. See the Mormon Stories YouTube episode about the guy who was a missionary in Russia. He'll have that PTSD for the rest of his life.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place What? Some delicate soul didn't like that others objected to something being forced upon them and pushed back on maintaining the one social media realm that isn't cheerleading AI? Goodness, we're just awful people here. We need to stop ruining all the AI fun of art theft, data colonialism and energy hoarding. 🙄
The ponds are full and chockablock with frogs and tadpoles. Swallows are swooping. Ducks are paddling. And I clocked a new bird for me: Pied-billed Grebe.

It was already bad enough with poorly executed graphic design, but AI has completely ruined jigsaw puzzles too.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io One can really expand on this whole dart dealio. Cishet women can sometimes pick up a male partner's unused dart.

@clive@saturation.social I might know a guy who at least knows a guy. I'll send him your info. He worked for the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Or you could contact the museum directly. They're great folks.
