You should all watch Geek Girl on Netflix so they make more for us that like it.

Even if you let it play when you’re not watching. Plays are plays. Stats are stats.

But you should watch it. It’s fab. Funny. Poignant. Fashion. Neurodivergence. Geeks. Romance. Music.

I described myself as a geek today as part of explaining that I work freelance doing writing about technical stuff. Saying that got the point across.

Geeks FTW!

My broadband has gone offline a few times this week. They did improvement work last Friday. I’m sure these two things are not related…

If guitar rock is in your wheelhouse, then the new Devin Shamel single will float the boat that is under that wheelhouse.

If the new Daisy La Fontaine song doesn’t get you tapping your foot, then you should probably get an ECG to make sure you are still alive.

I’m such a lightweight these days. One pint and I have a buzz happening.

Cheap date!

Last night Mr. Laffy, the twins, and I celebrated:

1- May 34th #TrumpGuilty
2- Finding a townhouse to put an offer on …in our preferred complex, exactly where we wanted to buy
3- Being together again, in #Canada for realsies
4- The rule of law working as it should

Today I woke up (I actually didn’t sleep much) under the weather… which started yesterday but was trying to ignore. So, no Champagne today.

Did any of you fine and upstanding people get a ticket for The Beaches London gig in August? Tickets for it and other venues at https://www.thebeachesband.com/#tour

Selling fast. They had to upgrade the Glasgow venue as it sold out on presale! They had to upgrade the London venue last year.

I’ll be at the London one. Finally!

Orange displeasure.

I looked up who would hear the appeal of DJT's recent criminal conviction and it turns out that life does have a sense of humor.

The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department - The Hon. Dianne T. Renwick, Presiding Justice

The US election is going to be so close that even if about 2% of likely voters don't vote for Trump now, he’s a convicted felon, that'll be enough to swing close States to Biden.

I'm not the originator of this idea. It's articulated by several commentators with way more insight and knowledge than me.

But they all also say that in November, the non-MAGA US populace has to get out and vote in such numbers that the MAGAs can’t prevent their loss via vote suppression measures.

I've started this process. It’ll take a while. I'll probably convert each service to a unique and random email address as I need to log in.

Dearest DuckDuckGo,

Your market is privacy respecting, accurate web search. Integrating """ai""" (see: plagiarism machine, misinformation machine) into your platform undermines both of these core features for no reason other than to ride the hype train of a bubble until it pops.

Please fucking stop. Before I and half your userbase leave your search engine.

@UkeBLCatboy @a @julia To be honest, I'm using Claude 3 (and sometimes ChatGPT 4) to surface information for me. So, AI stuff in Kagi isn’t an issue for me. I also don't use anything Claude 3 (or any other LLM) outputs at face value. No do I use any of the output in any writing I do. I treat them as glorified research assistants.
