I love how coquettish ChatGPT is about not analysing or reproducing parts of copyrighted content or style. Given all the accusations of pirated work being used to train it.

Sprit of the River gave me real Pat Metheny vibes in the best way.

Okay can someone please explain to me why being indoors in a room that's c20 degrees Celsius has me in a jumper and electric blanket in November, while in July with the same conditions I'm in a t-shirt?
Same conditions. Totally different perception of levels of cold

No, I'm sorry, you aren't allowed to be a tech company that's too big to have a burst bubble and ALSO be completely unregulated.
We've all seen that movie a few times with similarly regulation-averse industries.
Ack, who am I kidding.

Very tempted to adopt a lovely grey who is very fresh off the racing world and very shy, not sure what to make of people.
Blue was SO friendly from the start. So easy to love!
lovely #greyhound folks... Have you ever had one that didn't warm up? Or that you didn't warm to?

I haven't plugged my book in ages, and with #Halloween coming up, now is a great time to read an action-packed #vampire urban fantasy.
It's basically Buffy meets Trainspotting.
✅ Strong female lead
✅ Funny bits
✅ Ass-Kicking
I think you'll enjoy it #booksky

This was from one of the holidays we took with both the boys. A wonderful holiday cottage that was totally set up for dogs. This was the first Blue (🌈) learned how to jump up on sofas! Little Loki showed him the way. In the evenings I'd join them and we watched Wolf Hall. Log fire. Bliss.

They didn't often share a bed, and this one was more a product of Lokis love of the sun than any real fondness between them. Blue (🌈) looks unimpressed. #greyhound #dogsofbluesky #whippet

I've been watching Star wars episode 4 on Disney Plus.
It's definitely not the best version. The CGI looks awful and the scene with Han and Greedo is unforgivable.
I still have cassette tapes from the THX remaster they did in...1994? 1996? They're fine. Or at least better than this!
