[Large Language Model output]

In a tavern from medieval age,
Tigers danced on the stage with great rage,
With a leap and a roar,
They amazed even more,
As their reward, they ate the king's page.

Blame me for the last line.

(And, wow. Working with LLMs to make something above the AVERAGE is […]

@the_gneech I will need some housing, crafting, and chill time this evening.

I'm looking forward to it!

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. **Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their […]

[Personal note...]

I had my COVID and flu shots yesterday.

Today, as often happens when I get my COVID shots, I'm dizzy and mildly nauseous.

Not fun. I have chicken soup, and I've been keeping quiet today.

I'm sorry that I'm not getting out at all this weekend.

I have a question for mathematicians out there...

Start with a square 100 km on a side.

An inhabitant of this square has two ways to travel: walking, which can be done from any point to any point at a pace $p_w$ seconds per kilometer, or going by a train which needs laid-down tracks but goes […]

I just got my COVID and flu shot for the winter.

I hate shots. But I hate COVID and flu more.

[re: Political joke]

Why do ICE agents go in teams of ten or more?

In every team, there needs to be one who can read, one who can write, and the rest to watch over those intellectuals.

[Political joke]

A Brit was trying to explain the concept of "freedom of speech" to an American.

"You see, even in London, I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' and no one can arrest me.

"Oh," said the American. "Then we must already have that here. I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' in the United […]

One other thing happened yesterday:

I saw my first motorcycle gang! Well over a hundred motorcycles drove by me on Hollywood Boulevard -- it took a full minute for all of them to pass. One was doing a wheelie with its fender against the road; sparks flew everywhere. At the end of the parade […]

I am on a very crowded bus.

I was pressed against a very white, older man.

I'm wearing a shirt with characters from _Helluva Boss_.(I'm off to see _Hazbin Hotel_.)

He stared. Hard. In a Southern accent, he said, "Is that some kind of OCCULT symbol?"

I just grinned at him.

He got off at the […]

Hihi Fediverse-brain!

I'm thinking about a small project: a trivia game for Twitch.

The screen would show a trivia question, people would type their answers into Twitch, and it would show a score.

I can easily do the back-end development. But I want to know a good system for the display […]

A current photo from the apocalypse of #losangeles.
It's a small public park. In the foreground, two African Americans, an Asian American, and a European American are seated. There are coffees. In the background are people slowly walking about. In the center, beyond the people, is a building from the 1920s with a covered entrance. The impression is of a relaxed, quiet park in a city where friends meet to chat over coffee or light food. Very relaxed.

Every cable news channel needs to sending their tv anchors to set up in downtown Portland and broadcast the shows live until the "war in Portland" is over like they do in other war zones in full war safety garb. And right now before Trump's troops starts nonsense since he has declared it a war […]

[Autism....]

I don't agree with the common statement "Autism doesn't need a cure."

Autism is a spectrum.

IMHO, people with Level 1 autism are _awesome_.

IMHO, people with Level 3 autism, who need significant help, would benefit from a cure for those parts of autism that most keep them from […]

## Write Disney a LETTER.

WRITE DISNEY-ABC A LETTER TODAY.

Not email, don’t @ them on social media – or do that, that’s fine, but it’s not a substitute. It’s not as good. Do that too, but mostly…

WRITE DISNEY A LETTER. On PAPER. Put it in an ENVELOPE and […]

Me, feeling buff back from the gym before the pandenic. A business-format letter to Disney-ABC about their censorship of Jimmy Kimmel, likening it to Putin's destruction of independent Russian media, with my return address and signature hidden.
