Big problems looming if you have software and take bug reports - the AIs are getting good and you will have to figure out how to deal with the volume "Mozilla fielded a large number of reports..., helped us understand what warranted submitting a bug report" www.anthropic.com/news/mozilla...

Bands! Your merch has to be better than the venue's merch that's all I ask. (Also the UC theatre has rad merch).

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

RIP Bobby Weir. His legacy will be seen in the support he gave to generations of bands that follow, recreating moments of music and joy every time they play.

It is a struggle I need tabs for tiny hands. Failing that I look for another voicing or just play the top strings or bottom strings. You don't want any wrong notes but you don't need all the right ones either.

Oh this is devilish…a game where you have make to 45 groups of 45 items each by matching two at a time. Must take hours? (Where’s the multiplayer option when you need it?) [thomaswc.com]

Enjoyed Song Sung Blue but it's lucky that family didn't have a dog for the filmmakers to draw into their emotional manipulation.
