I would generally advise against following me. I'm not that interesting.
Also, I'm not a great fan of the ❤️ button. Not entirely sure why but please don't be offended that I don't use it. It's not you, it's me! :D
Also I tend not to follow back, but see above! Again nothing personal.

I've a joke about Ea-nāṣir but it just gets complaints.
I’ve a colossal joke about Rhodes. And one about Theseus that’ll leave you amazed.
I’ve got a joke about Hephaestus, but it’s forged.

Perhaps a lesser known issue with AI in it's unending hunt for data. A literal if somewhat unlikely extrapolation would have the internet entirely occupied by crawlers and AI with humans forced back to analogue communication. Which might actually be good for all concerned. *sighs*

Make all the months 30 days and have a 5 day holiday between June and July (northern hemisphere) and December and January (elsewhere). Obviously leap day goes into holiday.

A win win for natural language processing and machine learning :D Cold called by a claim company robot so shared the podcast I'm listening to with it. It did understand my concern for the environment but tried to drag the 'conversation' back to car finance several times before giving up.

It looks like Mr Trump and Mr Vance feel their priorities more closely align with those of Russia rather than the country Russia invaded.
I wonder what kind of WWIII Trump was referring to during the conference? Could he be planning on invading Ukraine from the west?
Reminds me of something 🤔

The crows I'm feeding in the hope of them becoming more friendly sit in the tree as far away as they can until I've put the food down and gone away. Ungrateful buggers.
