Fifteen years ago I felt pretty embarrassed pronouncing a word wrong, but now I’m just boasting like “oh yeah I guess I only know that one from READING it in a BOOK”

The fine motor skills required for “Tails of Iron” proved to be too challenging for my husband & I, so I guess we’ll be playing “Winter Burrow.” Either way, it’s cute mice video gaming time. 🐁

The little goat at the beginning of the latest #Pluribus is so mad at her turncoat friend, I bet it is wondering how to get its hooves on an atom bomb.

YouTube would like very much for me to grind out more videos on their platform. (That will NOT be happening.) When I read it, I heard it in the same passive-aggressive tone of the Hive’s recorded message on #Pluribus. “If you're not able to engage on the platform right now, we understand.”

With two voracious readers under the same roof for winter this was bound to happen. Duplicate copies of Assassin’s Apprentice by #RobinHobb are on the shelf. (Details in the alt text of photos.) #books #booksky

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Grateful that I took a chance on these 2 #recorder solo books for #alto & #bass recorder. Both books have 135+ pages of great music. Most pieces here are intermediate to advanced, but there are some easier works here for an enthusiastic & determined beginner like myself. #EricHaas #VonHuene #basset

When I hear AI proponents say things like "I can't wait to put in one prompt and get a new season of my favorite show," I don't know how to begin explaining that can't happen with how these things work.
It's like going into IKEA and said "I can't wait to get the wardrobe that takes me to Narnia."

“Did you like that necklace I got you? You don’t remember? I gave it to you last week. You said you loved it. You really forgot that quickly?”

This is funny, sad, and true.
obvious statement is obvious but man the amount of joint grease needed for a bass recorder compared to a soprano is hilarious…
