Seriously, a family with "Money" as part of their surname who own not just any bank but the bank that the King keeps his current account with is like, what fantasy author was phoning in their world-building that day?

Everyone, please stop saying, "Well, it's not actually AI..." every time someone does a post about AI. We all know what it is, that's just what it is called, and you're gonna have to deal with it. If we ever get actual AI we're gonna call it by whatever name it demands of us. I'm guessing Todd The Overlord, or something like that.

It hasn't really been making international news, and even our German media have been lazy about reporting this - but I wanted to let you know that hundreds of thousands of Germans are out in the streets and towns, protesting against the right-wing extremists here in Germany.

I was out myself today, along with 15,000 others in my town, for Holocaust Memorial Day. 100,000 in Düsseldorf alone, plenty more across the entire country. More protests are planned for tomorrow.

Someone I know offline mentioned this as a joke, and it struck me as a perfect "is it real or not?" parody of every single New York Times headline from the past decade, so I grabbed the right font and turned it into one.

Zeiss created tech that turns regular window glass into a camera. I can totally see how this will only ever be used for well intentioned purposes.

Some are curious about my age because of my recent birthday. As an older woman you must understand I'm a bit reticent to share that information. But, what the Hell, I trust you all. 😊

I'm officially I-threw-my-back-out-in-a-goddamn-coughing-fit years old. 😒

Who needs another present when, truly, this virus is the gift that keeps on giving? As if all the phlegm wasn't already enough, right? 🤦‍♀️

Dilbert Stark rediscovers human biology orthodoxy circa 1890 among fans of eugenics (long since debunked) ...

It's almost like he wants to breed H. G. Wellsian far future big-brained hominids and has no clue how evolution works.

The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today, is it?”

And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.”

That was when I realised I’d left my phone in Airplane mode.

I think this is the 7th octopus hat that I've made (using this really excellent pattern https://www.thetwistedhatter.com/product-page/twisted-kraken-pattern). Friends and family keep asking for them, and it's really fun to make.

I pretty much always have some #knitting or #crochet project going, it keeps me focused through both in-person and Zoom meetings and no matter how stupid the meeting, always makes me feel like I'm not totally wasting my time because I'm making something!

The same octopus hat laying on a wooden floor, looking more like a stuffie than a hat. The eyes are definitely looking at you.

What Happens When You Deny Scientific Evidence? Look at Brazil's Pesticide Problem. The overuse of dangerous pesticides in Brazil threatens public health and serves as a warning to the rest of the world about the dangers of science denial. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brazils-pesticide-dilemma-illustrates-the-health-dangers-of-scientific-denialism/

Sneaky fast-moving snowflakes.

The weather app on my phone went from yesterday's ten-day forecast of cold temperatures but sunny for the next ten days to today's forecast of a 70% chance of snow in the two hours.

That is some sneaky-ass fast-moving snow.

I honestly think I could get a better weather forecast standing on my back porch with a binoculars and a pinwheel.

Going to the dentist feels a lot like going to confession.
