Dice the potato (1/2 inch). Add to a pot with French onion soup. When potato is soft, add baby spinach. Garnish with cheese.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #CollectingFood (birds with food in their beaks), so here is Larry, one of the local #GreatBlueHerons, keeping down the invasive goldfish population. (There are multiple Larrys, but no one will admit that.)

[Your 36yo mutual]: You know what. Heating pads are really nice, even when your body isn't in agony. It's just a very comforting feeling as you sit there doing your tasks.

Reminder that pretty much every author you know has (verifiably!) had their work stolen to train on.
I don't write like AI, AI fucking tries to write like me.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

What are the names that give you a fate? A young woman who gets pregnant to spite her father in a Medieval song is named Janet. A young woman who's Perfect and Accomplished but Beset By Difficulties in a Regency romance is Jane. (Jane Eyre wasn't hot, but her author wasn't named Jane lol)

Absolutely bodying myself because APPARENTLY THE LADY FROM FAIRPORT CONVENTION SANG THE B-PART WHEN THEY TOURED TOGETHER, I AM NEVER BEATING THE RENFAIRE MUSIC ALLEGATIONS!!!!!
My guitar teacher keeps describing the folk music I like as "renfaire music," so I looked up a LotR filk song I grew up with and now I'm really excited to play it on the acoustic guitar, with my own voice accompanying.
![Guitar chords for the first voiced section of "The Battle of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin. There are lots of A, G, and C chords. The lyrics read:
The Queen of Light took her bow, and then she turned to go.
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night. Sing to the morning light.
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight and time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe. Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side, [this part is covered by the 'open in app' button] -ight of the darkest of them all.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ca7f4m5dsfiws3edvvi5vzi/bafkreialnszvohosunwtrorcu6bff5hxeglzgdyrph35hzkt5nl4sfvosq@jpeg)

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)
