Hey DOGE, US taxpayers effectively give wealthy oil and gas companies $294,520.55 an hour in subsidies. If you want to save us money, start there. Not with the hard-working scientists who protect us all. STAND FOR SCIENCE Source: https://bit.ly/4igdqFR

My personal stance on (generative) AI is rather simple: I do not want it.

I am a creative person who like to create, build and design, AI feels like a salesman selling me my own work, no thank youuu

The Academy Awards are tomorrow and my daughter is attending as the film she worked on, A Lien, has been nominated for Best Live Action Short Film. I doubt she’ll make the televised red carpet though, despite the bucks she dropped on her dress & that she’ll look stunning! Proud Papa!

Today is Lulu’s 5th anniversary #gotchaday. She was a scared 1.5 yo (reportedly but I think closer to 1 yo) girl when we adopted her. Her tendency is still to be a shy, but she has grown to be the boss of her energetic 3yo #rescuedog brother. Like most […]

📣

Whatever it takes to bring followers over to my new @GottaLaff@mstdn.social account, I've failed.

So, please spread the word to my usual friends to follow me there if somehow I messed up that part of the move.

I'm having a tough time getting it right. Sorry.📢
