I would love to have the S.A.R.A.H. voice available for my instance of ChatGPT.

Can you ask Douglas Fargo to comply?

I hope the next President (ever hopeful) repairs The Rose Garden and tears down The Ballroom.

What an affront to the American people.

Vote Yes on CA Prop 50 - Kimberly Kradel

A few days after the California legislature voted to put Prop 50 on the ballot, our mailboxes across the state were inundated with Republican "Vote No on Prop 50" propaganda. Do or don't believe it, b...

I have a few sheathed metal knives that look like this - I live in a van and it's handy to have form fitting covers on the knives even thought they are kept in a drawer.

I have also seen ceramic kitchen knives with covers like this too.

Absolutely!

Your post, for some reason, made me think of a Pad Thai Waffle (extra egg and rice flour batter with the leftover Pad Thai stirred in) with some sort of peanut sauce. I love leftover Pad Thai, but I don't have a waffle iron in The Pod.

I'm totally fine with being in G!

Same as you in H - we have everything we need. Even mashed potatoes! (Which I grew up on in PA).

Have you ever tried making Thai-food waffles?

It was definitely moving in that direction. Prescient non-fiction. But, I've added a few more layers to it, some obvious, some not, so it's back to being dystopian sci-fi :) !!

Happy Birthday, California! 🥳

Today, we proudly celebrate 175 years of statehood.

As we continue to define the future of this state, today serves as a testament to the spirit of Californians, driven by grit, determination, and a relentless belief in what’s possible.

My biggest advice for those who date, from a serial failed dater, is:

First date is always just coffee (or whatever) at a nice cafe. Late morning, early afternoon is best. Then move on to lunch after a few coffee dates & it was comfortable. Always split the bill until a relationship is established.

I am currently writing a dystopian sci-fi novel that has become just fiction.

Most social media platforms use only heart - it's the same as a "like".

ARTIST-AT-LARGE @artist-at-large.bsky.social · Aug 26

I have a lot of new followers on Threads since that post, but on the day I posted the OP, I had about the same on both platforms.

The other weird thing? I did not use hashtags on the Threads post, but I did use two here on BSky.

While I like BSky the most of all the not-twitter social media apps, I get the least engagement here.

My post about the Big Beautiful Map here did not get even one like.

On Threads the exact same post got 1.4k likes, 97 comments, and 60 resends. And it's not done circulating.

I'm getting to the point where I don't believe anything I see or read anymore. Everything seems to be a fiction.

I was out of things to watch on streaming over the weekend, so I started watching “Untamed” on Netflix.

If you’ve never been to Yosemite or British Columbia, and you like a mystery, you might like it.

But the landscape was a total distraction. Iconic NPs just can’t be faked.
