When you get Queen Bee (on #Nytspellingbee ), the correct reaction is to put on your giant foam hand and parade around the house yelling WE DID IT.

Agreed. Stop making it about the singer. Show the slides.

We need to have a national conversation about “in memoriam” segments at award shows.

2022: “WOW you can write a prompt and an AI will draw it!” 2028: “You want to write a prompt? First you need to hire 10-15 promptOps Engineers to build out your PromptFlow pipelines which sends promptjobs to your PromptLake from the PromptQueue using the EventPrompt stream”

🧵: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.

a portrait photo older white woman with long brown hair holding a misconfigured stuffed animal. she has very severe rosacea below her eyes, in the shape of triangles on her cheeks. she looks slightly 3d rendered. there is a lamp in the background.
a variant of the woman from the first image on what appears to be an album cover with the word "Loab" on it. She appears to be holding flowers, leaves, or feathers of some kind, on a textured, green backdrop.

And on a related note, I know that Engineering Best Practices are pretty great, but have you given Worst Practices a try?

I've developed a bad habit of prefixing statements with 'Honestly, ...'. I'm going to try to start using 'Dishonestly,...' from now on, and see what happens.

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩 Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

Like most kids, I assumed your dollar bought you a real monster. Yet I never bought one. I assumed my Mom would not like having a monster in the house.

Mildly interested in the LOTR series, but I’m gonna wait a few weeks to watch it just to f with the stats.

Love Sandman on Netflix, but a minor nit. The sound designer chose crow sounds for the raven. Better than the ubiquitous Red-tail hawk used for every bird of prey, but still, disconcerting.

One of the skills you gradually hone as a child: regulating the amount of milk that goes into a bowl of cereal. I still haven’t quite mastered the art, but I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this important task.

I can’t tell if Nathan Fielder and Jeopardy have been trending for six days, or if they are just trending for *me*…

The house finches around my yard, which normally empty my feeder every day, vanished on Sunday or Monday. Feeder untouched for two days. I thought they were year-round residents. Odd.

Just finished all of @jbum's 10x10 Star Battle puzzles. All 5 x 100 x 24 = 12,000 of them. Jim, I'll thank you not to make any more! krazydad.com/play/starbattl

Anyone else getting their inbox spammed this morning for “sales growth services for Amazon”? Sounds like an MLM scheme.
