for all my new followers: thank you for your trust :)

as you might have noticed, my profile is pretty empty at the minute beside a very angry rant after the american election night.

I’m staying away from social media as much as I can and I’m living a better life because of this decision.

@nirnaeth.bsky.social and I finally have the in depth discussion about LLMs, how we use it, and what we think it might evolve into. We also touch on starting to pay more and more stuff.

This is Larry Football. His human likes to sell things on Facebook Marketplace. Larry is always there to greet customers. Because every transaction should include a dog. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Stephanie Sprowls)

I checked this today, it’s seriously a godsend. I was thinking about building something like this myself but it’s already out there :D

Oh, this is neat.

I've mostly moved to RSS for newsletters, where possible. When not, there's kill-the-newsletter.com

That way, my email remains my mail and I can consume articles from a completely separate app.

I got the news today in my mail and I’m over the moon. I’m someone that subscribes to so many newsletters because content FOMO, ma then has a hard time sifting through those to get to my important messages.

Love it.

If you're into fragrances, as I am, go to real perfumers. Some of my favs:

AbdesSalaam Attar: Self-taught Sufi perfumer who only uses natural ingredients. Many of his perfumes feel like you're walking through a Middle Eastern bazaar. Milano Caffe, Cuoio dei Dolci, and Tabac are worth a sniff.

Lady Minerva loves to go enjoy a summer rain shower!

Vultures = Clean!

They purify the environment by efficiently removing dangerous toxins (their digestive systems can neutralize anthrax, botulism, rabies, etc) and they spend a lot of time keeping clean themselves, too! 🪶

Minerva turned 42 this year!🎉
Did you know that vultures are such long lived birds?

Turkey vultures like Minerva can live into their 50s, and larger vultures like Andean Condors can make it into their 60s and 70s, possibly even older than that! 🪶

We only rate dogs. This is Samuel L. Jackson in a cute sweater and a bad mood. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10
a gray hairless gremlin squints at the camera with the look of a bad motherhecker. she’s scowling, but wearing a pink fleece jumper with cherries printed all over. the cognitive dissonance is strong. upon further inspection, this may just be a hairless chihuahua, but you can’t blame us for the misunderstanding.

This is Miso. She is reporting for her weekly paw inspection. All toe beans are accounted for and are as teeny tiny as ever. Inspection passed with flying colors. 12/10 (IG: lifewith_miso)
a tiny white fluffy pomeranian is belly-up in a person’s lap. she looks a little nervous, and her front paws are being held in the person’s hands. all four paws have the teensiest little black toe beans, each one small and perfect. she’s got nothing to worry about.

This is Scotty. He’s a little guy with bad behavioral problems. With your help, he was able to enter a specialized training program to work on that. Through positive reinforcement, he's made incredible progress. He's now happily adopted — and will continue working with his trainer, who adores him ❤️‍🩹
A teeny tiny brown floofy pup looks sassy as he is held by a medical professional in a clinic. Scotty is embraced by his new forever mama on a sunny day. The pup smiles with his silly tongue hanging out of his mouth on a beautiful day. He is wearing a cute team harness and a matching leash.

This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying
