Look, I get that we all want to like that frog pretending to be Obama “Hop” poster, but you all understand it’s obviously AI, right?

It has that pissbrown sheen suffusing the entire thing that’s even more obvious when you compare it to the original.

I’m not alone in seeing this, right?

Seriously. Plus any time I looked at the screen everything happening was just so WEIRD. Ugh. And none of it fit.

Even the whatever car/truck commercial that used the morning wood song was better 😹☠️

Yeah ew I wouldn’t either.

I only have an antenna - ⚾️ isn’t my flavor of sportsball. At best it’d be 🏈 … but I saw the clip here on Bluesky & always appreciate feats of athleticism.

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

Don’t be jealous - like I said, I burned out.
But I’m definitely not mad about reading ~only romances. Give me HEA or bust!

Limecello @limecello.bsky.social · 9h

Maybe it was clips mid game? I don’t know the specifics but it was definitely during live broadcasts and uh 😅 not everything got bleeped.
This also happens when cameras(?) are close to players too.
Or hell, sometimes fans.

Ah ok. (No surprise/as I’ve said ⚾️ isn’t my usual sportsball flavor.) But yeah it’s ridiculous.
😇 I have enjoyed in the past 🏈 players being mic’ed up. But <.< I think they got too much swearing. lol. I don’t watch much now but I think they don’t do that anymore? 😜

Ah. Still don’t like that. But active players - they do that regular season don’t they? Or they have in the past. Someone is going to miss a huge play at some point.

Like players actively on the field being interviewed?! They’re still doing that? (Or just random interview during game? Which - also bad.)

😅 I’m like the opposite of you. Other than some HPs & fantasy for like all of MS & HS I only read classics (even outside assigned reading). Burnt out by senior year/early uni and I’ve pretty much only read romances since for my leisure reading. It’s still 99.9% of my reading, even for cnovels.

The Sunflower

"The Sunflower" by Gustav Klimt is a vibrant portrayal of a towering sunflower set against a densely textured green backdrop. The composition highlights Klimt's skillful use of color and pattern, drawing attention to the intricate layers of foliage and lively blooms at the plant's base.
