Good news department, if needed: Several nice folks in a Portland neighborhood this morning spent hours rescuing a lost bunny from a storm drain. Bun was terrified and at risk of cars, but fine now. There's a lovely photo of the rescuers celebrating w bun in carrier. (not sharing photo re privacy)

When I pass a #straight #couple on the street, & man seems sincerely interested in what the woman is saying/doing & kind of visibly dotes on her, I get a warm, fuzzy feeling, but it doesn’t happen as often as you’d think.

If it’s 1-sided at all, it’s more often the other way, which 🤢

#feminism? 🤔

"It's a vending machine, not a kitchen." 💯 💯 💯

AI is you making art as much as using one of those "Coca-Cola Freestyle" machines is you making soda.
There are free DAWs, free VSTs, pretty much everything you need to make music on a computer, which they assume you already own, are available for free or very little. The only thing Suno is doing is stealing the rewarding parts of music-making from you. It's a vending machine, not a kitchen.

So Trump has his own "Peace" coalition made up of, you know, the countries against Peace... and ISRAEL? To rebuild Gaza. His brain is truly broken.

It would break my heart if I was selected for an anthology and then the book was poisoned with AI slop. I wouldn't expect anyone to read it either
