So, I join many of my CS peers in being less than excited about generative AI, But I was still a bit upset to see Google TV's Gemini recommending "powerful movies featuring iconic fictional heroines."
Like, it has to recommend _fictional_ heroines instead of real ones why?
Say what you will about the JMU/Oregon CFP game, there have been far too few Dukes/Ducks bad puns.
I was at Hasan Hates Ronny Hates Hasan last night and it was new, loud, funny, and an amazing way to take racism straight on. If it were black vs. white there would be rioting in the aisles, but by going Asian vs. Indian, they were able to say important and funny things!

If you're looking for more than just cats, I really appreciate @mondomascots.bsky.social and @lukelukeluke.bsky.social has a lot of nice mushrooms.
Good on you.
As a little old lady, people around me have to get used to my cursing. When they look shocked, I just tell them that it's my right as a veteran and to fuck their "Thank you for your service" crap, if they can't accept it.
A traffic signal in a tropical ranforest
TIL there can be traffic lights in the middle of tropical rainforests. Not because of the traffic, though.
It's because a lot of the road washed away and there's barely room for one way traffic. Which seems like an outstanding reason for there to be a traffic light in a rainforest. #JoCoCruise
Good on you! I only make it past 9:30 because I've got the late seating. Silly me.
A snow covered back porch in Seattle. Yes, Seattle.
"Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice."
My brother is dealing with the fire part, whereas we got the ice/snow this morning. But it doesn't snow in Seattle (much).
Joule is betrayed by something or other I have done.
Joule has just learned I'm looking at pictures of other cats here and can't believe the betrayal!
When I was stationed in Korea (coincidently during the last time martial law was declared), I used to joke "We're here keeping Korea safe in case a democracy breaks out."
What a lousy joke.
Hey @colbertlateshow.bsky.social . I know some of you are George Saunders fans. Any way you can get him some publicity for his short story _Love Story_? It's definitely a tale for our times.
I'm watching _The Diplomat_. It's a fine show, but how sad is it that 25 years after _Felicity_ a woman's hair style is a major plot line? 😒
Yes, I was raised in the south and it makes sense we use "Oreo" as an insult instead of "coconut," since Americans much prefer cookies over fruit.
