That Jackie West debut album that just dropped is very beautiful.

@kissane I fell down The Trinity Sessions rabbit hole just last night — after not thinking about them for maybe 20 years?

Then I realized when that album came out and I turned to dust.

Incidentally I'm thankfully still not seeing any of this Google "AI results" stuff. It sounds like nearly everyone else is. I don't know if the difference is because I'm on a Canadian IP, or because my feedback when they briefly opted me into the early beta tests was so aggressively negative they put some kind of "AI Hater" flag on my account

@mcc Not seeing it from New Brunswick. 🤷‍♂️

I slept 10 hours.

Solid.

I didn't even get up to pee.

I don't feel the looming threat of ripping anyone's head off this morning.

You probably are all safe today. (FAFO)

Apologies if you are missing any body parts from this past week.

Happy Friday.🌺

@Waitnwallflower I actually do this regularly. It’s my superpower. (That and flying, but anyone can buy a ticket.)

opened the kitchen window tonight. the screen has some holes, but I didn't have the light on, so I didn't worry about bugs getting in.

next thing i know there's a massive June Bug in the living room, FLAGRANTLY VIOLATING THE SOCIAL CONTRACT THAT'S RIGHT THERE IN ITS NAME.

@violinguy I am ashamed to admit that’s what I did last year.

Then I bought some material to patch it with. It’s still on the old to-do list, though. 🤦‍♂️

@violinguy I’m consoling myself by claiming that I’m prioritizing. cough

@anathema_device Yeah. I’ve had one since last summer. Sitting on a shelf, unopened. 🤦‍♂️

@ColesStreetPothole I’m gonna need you to be more specific. Because that covers a lot of ground at the moment.

I suspect I could listen/work to this for hours. “Is that you or are you you?” by Chris Zabriskie. From a video game, apparently (the last time I was a gamer that meant stacks of quarters). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed8N141l9FQ

I'm not clicking, because I'm not helping with clicks.

@JohnJBurnsIII Betty Bowers is a satirical, atheist character. My guess is you’d like the video.

@tantramar@nojack.easydns.ca avatar

@JohnJBurnsIII oh, no doubt. Bowers is typically really good, though (not that I’ve seen any of her content in years).

I can’t recommend being woken suddenly in the wee hours of the morning by your shower curtain collapsing.

Because then you don’t get back to sleep. 🤦‍♂️

classic rookie mistake: said "yes" to a iOS update in the middle of me making dinner which included the music playing on the HomePod and the timer on my potatoes in the oven.

now the question is: will it remember the cooking timer once it finally reboots?! Also, when you send music to a HomePod, doesn't it just play on its own, separate from your phone? Ugh.

@mathowie I’ve been trying to decipher the rules around AirPlay handoff from devices to HomePods. Seems… inconsistent at best? 🤷‍♂️

this whole OpenAI/Scarlett Johansson thing really boils down to… a man who thought he could take what he wanted from a woman even after she clearly said no.

Spent a good chunk of my life anticipating Stanley Kubrick & Arthur C Clarke’s sleek vision of the future but ended up in Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights & Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.
