Sometimes I lay in bed at night wondering what happened to John Connorโ€˜s dog Wolfie after his step parents were killed by the T1000. Itโ€™s a plot thread that bugs me.

Saw Superman today. Such fun. I loved the dark and gritty too but what I love most it seeing the material interpreted through other eyes. I donโ€™t believe our fables should be static with only one way of seeing them. This one is fun!

Just discovered the world of nerdy needlepoint. Amazing.

Anything that makes John Bolton happy is probably the wrong move.

What if Kal El fell to earth 100 years earlier and was adopted by a Comanche

Itโ€™s nice to come back to Blue Sky during my day. All my other feeds are filled up with AI crap. Here I can just take in all the wonderful human creativity.

I can't say that all applications of AI are evil, but gAI in particular, and the companies that create them, can certainly be described as anti-Human.

Any other โ€œolderโ€ visual artists out there that have eye floaters? I hate these little guys but the doc says theyโ€™re normal. I wanna take a miniature submarine in there and laser them all.

I blinked and apparently the tariffs are going to be cut back now? Maybe? Itโ€™s pretty hard to keep up with this news flowโ€ฆ

I went to stock a needed beverage to get through Trumpโ€™s address tonight, but the LCBO already took away my favourite Napa wines!

Watched the Dungeons & Dragons again last night. They can make a whole series of sequel to that and I will watch every damn one!

I asked an AI Chatbot what happened to the Metaverse and my computer vanished into a puff of smoke.

A photo of me (ok, just my hand) drawing a pencil portrait of Australopithecus afarenis, a probable ancestor of modern humans.

I donโ€™t really have anything appropriate for #DarwinDay, so this picture of me drawing one of my ancestors will have to do. Anyway, happy birthday, Charles.

Thank you. Taking the time to rediscover who one is again is important, especially after a long-term relationship. But I also remind myself serendipity is possible.

The idea of dating again after a 10 year marriage is surreal. How do you know youโ€™re ready?

Saw a meme about GenX being grouchy because they've had so many different music formats in their lives - vinyl, 8-track, cassettes, cds, mp3... This GenXer totally agrees! Every time it was going to be THE format. I've purchased some albums SO many times and now get it for basically free on Spotify.

Yes, it might be because Iโ€™m Canadian, but mmmm that pineapple just works

I spent the week reading/watching both โ€˜leftโ€™ and โ€˜rightโ€™ wing news on current events and canโ€™t believe how far apart their realities are now. Weโ€™ve known that isnโ€™t good but we are at psychosis levels now.

With business folks comparing AI to a new industrial revolution, I listened again to the Luddites episode of the STSK podcast. Lots of parallels to today. #ProudLuddite
