Ew ew ew just for an ad for one of those AI assistants in which a woman asks it to write a haiku about her cat.

You can’t write a 3 line, 17 syllable poem about your cat?????

What is being alive for if not writing tiny little poems about your cat??!!

Add this to my joker file. Good lord.

My plan was to photograph the moon rise, from behind the hills, but it was completely clouded, and now that the moon is high up, there's not even clouds to work something interesting.

photo of a male sambhar deer, taken in the evening with the whole light falling from behind the sambhar of the setting sun, and most of the sambhar deer is a silhouette. but you can see the highlights falling on its antler, ears and back. there's a lot of grass and trees in the jungle.
