I really should pin a post about how I ruthlessly block anyone I get a weird vibe from. Like, Elon Musk and Keanu Reeves have both made like 3 different accounts so they can follow me because I keep blocking them.
I'm a nobody don't follow me me unless there's a good reason to.

Director #BongJoonHo said he hopes the proliferation of AI is "the beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do." But, he added with a laugh: "I’m going to organize a military squad where their mission is to destroy AI all over the world."

Rincewind was not politically minded but there were some things he could work out not because they were to do with politics but because they had a lot to do with human nature.

Nanny Ogg had a pragmatic attitude to the truth; she told it if it was convenient and she couldn’t be bothered to make up something more interesting.

The Diderot Effect is when, after buying something, you feel pressured to buy more things to match it. The name comes from an 18th century essay by Denis Diderot, lamenting that a new red velvet robe led him to replace his furniture.

He kept trying to get into the box (I was storing partial yarn balls in it) so I ended up emptying it. This is the result.

We hope everyone flies free this weekend.
BTW, the name Elphaba is a reference to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" author L. Frank Baum.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

So, early this year I bought myself a Stanley insulated cup. One of the 40oz Quenchers. It was done as a joke, but I have been enjoying using it for my cold drinks.
Then comes fall and it gets cold and I need warm drinks... It's TOO GOOD at it's job. Leaving my tea with the lid off for an hour...🧵

Waiting for the last movie of the film festival, No Other Choice. So far I've watched Lucky Chan Sil, A Traveler's Need, Gyeongju, Miss Granny, and With a Girl of Black Soil. This has pretty much been an anti #Kdrama experience with some challenging themes and very few tropes, much more artistic.

The universe, they said, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty and bloody-mindedness.

Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the director of Miss Granny, which was shown today is, here in Iceland as a guest of honor at Iceland Noir. He heard about the Korean film festival, and that one of his movies was being shown and accepted our greetings and thanks before we watched the movie. 🫰🏻
