Much to my amusement, YouTube is serving me ads in Japanese for Japanese products. I am in Los Angeles. This is AWESOME! Thank you, Google / YouTube, for mistaking my IP Address.

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

This sounds like the Christian Rapture folks at my University who were loading up their credit cards before the end of the world in 1992*. I cautioned several of them about how would they pay off the debt. Samsies now. The AI folks are smoking some deep millenniarian cult shit.

Is wondering if anyone with a schnauzer or dachshund or weimaraner male dog has name it Otto von Pissmark? My brain's idea factory is randomly firing this morning.

I would add ticks to that list.

Knowledge is fragile. It's important to learn what you can but it's also really important to make sure to tell somebody else.

Even though my writing muse is not up for Cozy, I have decided that my Art & Photography muses are and that my photo stream here has become Cozy.

Me at 22: Ugh, when I'm middle-aged I won't be all "Blah! Modern music is just noise!" like my parents are. I'll remain hip and cool and I'll always love discovering new music. Me at 47: If you're an artist who uses autotune I'm going to hunt you for sport

As a digital nomad who lives in my RV, my day is made better when others around me have good to great to outright amusing SSIDs on their wifi. Today had a few gems: #WifiNames #Wifi #DigitalNomad #CampingWithConnection

Dear @samsungmobileus.bsky.social , I do not want the One UI 8.5 update with greater AI integration. I would like an UI with No AI, none at all. Or at least a kill switch to turn all AI off for good. Thank you, but give customers who spent a lot of money choice. #NoAI #CustomerChoice #JustSayNo
