Alright, I'm going to try the "no procrastinating" thing today too. Let's hope I have as much success as last week. Wish me luck.

@plribault Oh... My bad... I really should stop reading my timeline without glasses and before I have finished my first coffee of the day. ;-)

@plribault I taught my then two-year-old to play "We will rock you!" on the toy drum set at the local Toys R' Us (but I knew better than to buy the set, although I may have killed his future career as a drummer in the process.)

I would advise against teaching him about Ace of Base, though, as they were Nazis and all that.

My sister sent me this and boy do I feel this in my bones. My 50+ bones.

I learned why we are always ignored

I was at a leadership conference and one
of the speakers was talking about
generational strife. And she talked to/
about the boomers, and then the
millennials, and then the zoomers. And
then she said, "Gen X, I didn't forget you,
even if the rest of the world has. But I have
no advice for you. For a few reasons. First,
you don't need it. You are the most
independent and self-sufficient generation
in the history of mankind and there is
literally nothing I can teach you. Second,
even if I did have something to tell you, you
wouldn't care. Third, the reason we ignore
you is because the rest of us are all
terrified of you. If the zombie apocalypse
ever happens, we are all hiding behind you.
Somehow, you'll know what to do."

"A Moai in Japan?"
"Yes."
"A real one?"
"Well, it's complicated: No, but yes, but not."

Alright, I admit, the Kagawa Arena doesn't look too bad, seen from Megijima.

The Kagawa Arena seen from Megijima's port. There's also Takamatsu skyline as well as the Oni Lighthouse from Megijima.

Back from the island.

The Seto Inland Sea seen from the back of the ferry. The picture really shows part of the ferry (ropes, guardrails, etc) rather than the sea itself.

The back part of Meon, the red and white ferry that links Takamatsu to Megijima and Ogijima.

Late afternoon #CrowUpdate Just saw the three fledglings on top of trees and cables at the same time. They can all sort of fly, even the one that was constantly on the ground.

I haven't seen dad all day though (but I was away large chunks of the day)

#ProTip: Don't come to the fediverse to get your social media fix.

Come to the fediverse to get your encouragement fix, your resistance fix, your art fix, your rebellion fix, your nature fix.

Your hope fix.

#ClimateDiary UAE breaks May heat record with scorching 51.6C

“The desert nation, a top global oil exporter, lies in one of the planet's hottest regions and one which is particularly vulnerable to climate change.”

Mini #CrowUpdate I just saw one kid on the neighbor's roof. In a couple of days, they'll be flying everywhere.

@soycamo I often wonder how people could find any address in the whole country as soon as it was not in a neighborhood they were familiar with.

OMG please do not project motives on the LLM.
The LLM is just making an answer-shaped response to the query. If you tell it "that's wrong, try another answer" it will emit a string that looks like an apology and emit a different string for the answer. It is a string generator, not an autonomous entity.
Please, please do not spread that false notion of independent initiative. This attitude is causing a lot of confusion, and is helping the AI grift industry.
