I'm happy to report creeping (up) success in my sporadic entries in the daily AI art challenges at NightCafe (top ones pay off in credits). This one wasn't on any particular theme, but allowed the use of a Pro model & I had a freebie to use. I am really pleased by this #Caturday kitty!

Hey, hey, hey! It's #Caturday!

#SCIFIFRI The doctor ruminated on the perverse trans of medicine from biology to logic gates to apps, patient touch to clinical AI. Her mandatory magnetic metallic finger extension tap-tapped the faulty trap on someone's brain-board techs would put back in place & dismiss him/her/it. ⚕️ 🤖 #scifi ?

Sometimes challenges come at us with more strength & speed than we think that we can handle.
The reality is that challenges are always coming at us & some are just
easier to see than others.
#Mindfulness practice teaches us
both how to see & how to handle them.

Oh, Cathy! I'm so sorry you had this terrible experience. I hope you and Penny have quick and easy healing. 💗

If you're old and worry about forgetting, you may have read that it's because we're not learning new stuff. No, wait - that's for time passing faster, which worries me. So, I did my first AI caper today. I asked Google's Gemini to tell me the value of old dishes. Results: absolutely stunning! +💯!

After dealing with a vax reax over the weekend, my #Monday looks almost bright!

GLHancock, MS Ψ🕊 @glhancock.bsky.social · 6d

Yes, I got the Covid vax Friday a.m. and was sick like the regular flu all day Saturday, but arm barely hurt. Sounds like you had an allergic reaction to your Covid shot. I had that with the only time I let them give me the "super" flu shot for old folks. Never again!

Enjoy the Sunday caption contest. Give away ❤️s, retweet to encourage more competitors, include #GirlsOwnCC

GLHancock, MS Ψ🕊 @glhancock.bsky.social · 7d

Ugh! Remind me never to get a Covid vax on Friday - it surely ruins any kind of a #Saturday, and this one in San Diego is just perfect! Me? Not so much. 🤢

Nonetheless: shoulda had one of these! No, really do 😷💉

GLHancock, MS Ψ🕊 @glhancock.bsky.social · 7d

Thanks so much!

Get this: San Diego CITY is going to replace our 3 trash bins & start charging for service. We had to choose sizes by 9/30, but won't get any new bin until 1/30/26 and we'll be charged for the whole year on our *COUNTY* tax bill due next month (I think)! Also it'll charge all for the largest size!

GLHancock, MS Ψ🕊 @glhancock.bsky.social · 7d

IDK how accurate the other types are, but I can attest for an #INFJ this is spot on! What are you and what do you think?

'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.’ ~ Lewis Carroll

For World Animal Day tomorrow, #BookWormSat will roar, growl, bark, oink, miaow, neigh and bleat its way through the animals of literature. Do join us.

#SciFiFri Meanwhile on the Cat Planet, the current overlords direct their minions with tech talent to design a digital world to project as a shield from #alien invaders, like the banished hoomins. The idea, taken from the Matrix movies was, of course, totally misinterpreted. #amwriting #scifi

Neo the Cat is probably by John F. Leonard, the #horror #author
