In WSJ's Tech Things newsletter the "executive musical chair" further confirms that the AI 7 are too interconnected. They don't even hire someone that would bring something new to the table. It's dangerous because it puts them all on the same path, so if (when) one folds, all will follow.

I don't think accommodations understand the difference between pet-friendly and pet-tolerant.

My dog came up to my head in the middle of the night which is super rare.
"Poor thing, is it raining? Is there thunder?"
No.
She just wants to sleep on my pillow.
I think she won.

There should be a law against this kind of consent because box. Like who would say yes to certain "legitimate interest" and no to others? It's either all no, or too lazy to select no.

I really like Wednesday bank holidays. When we'll have 4 working days, I'll choose Wednesday as my day off. It's like an additional weekend.

This face always. But also the salty smell of the sea in the air, the sun gently touching my skin, all the colours of the flowers, plants doing their best to grow, all the stories, and kindness of people.

I absolutely love traveling with my dog, exploring nature, walk the city streets & parks but one thing I miss are the museums. To see & learn parts of the local history was always fun for me.

Driving in the south of France I saw quite a few of these upside down. I first thought it was a prank but it happened in a big area so I'm thinking it has some significance? What does it mean?

Only in Hungary (and of course in Putin-Trump circles) would the comparison to Zelensky be derogatory. The rest of the world knows better.

Sarah Beth Durst: The Spellshop was a lovely, lovely read. Talking plants, mist bears as tree guardians, gardening and finishing, kindness and a sensible heroine. I cannot recommend enough to escape from our harsh reality!

When an emergency vehicle comes (ambulance, fire truck, police), this is the right behaviour. Everyone pulls to the side, and they pass easily in the middle without losing precious time to get to where they're needed.

Do you sometimes just look at your dog, heart exploding with love because she's the damnest, cutest creature of your entire world? 😍

I use google's "take a note" function a lot as I'm driving, and it's sometimes hilarious/frustrating/humbling. The other day I forgot to go through the daily output to do the "after-clarification", and I'm left with these 2 that I have no idea what was the original thought. Any guesses? 😎

There's a purpose-built, half empty carpark on the left. But there's always one asshole who thinks they're above the law.
