Taken on my phone (S22+) this afternoon while walking to the store on a quiet, non-descript neighborhood street. Stopped me mid-step. Zero post-processing. Colors and composition reminded me of Edward Hopper's works. #Hopper eske #HopperFan #Art #Photography

Moved in exactly 6 years ago today and has made my life so much better :) (Total slacker however, spends almost all day sleeping, only interrupted by demands for food and entertainment, makes zero financial contributions to the household). Love her.

WTH #Amazon, now you have to sign in to *read* product reviews? And you only get a handful of them, and then are told to “send a request” to see more reviews, and then have to wait 5 days?? #Enshittification at its best. One more reason to look elsewhere.

I saw someone referring to the booing of commencement speakers talking about AI as a tantrum from students who don’t understand technology. That made me think that I bet machine breaking was also perceived as a tantrum. Anyway, here’s some thoughts about the Luddites.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.
