Thinking of markets and how much I love them, and how lucky I am to have traveled and seen so many markets all over the world.

A shop was like "Our pride flag disappeared & we were afraid it was a hateful person", then they played the security footage & it was a large man emphatically singing Sia's "Chandelier" while swinging on the flag, accidentally breaking it, continuing to sing show-must-go-on style, & stumbling away 💀

Imagine if you were so bad at your job that you completely messed up 79% of the time. But instead of being sacked, your company sacks everyone else, and the government changes the law to give you everyone else’s money.

There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:

מהי רכבת הרים רגשית? לקראת שבוה״ס, חסרים לי עותקים של ספר 5 בסדרת עוץ, ״הדרך לעוץ״. במחסן אמורים להיות אחדים, לפי ספירת מלאי. לא מצאו אותם. זאת כבר אחרי הדקה ה-90 להדפיס. אבל בית הדפוס יעשה מאמץ. אבל מתברר שהקובץ לדפוס בן 8 ומכיל פונטים שכבר לא נתמכים. אבל מצאתי PDF! אי אפשר להדפיס ממנו. בעצם אפשר!

Good luck to all the finalists! I don't know if they're doing the Alternate Universe award ceremony this year, but remember that no matter who takes home the pretty stars and planets in this universe, somebody else won in another.

בנושא אחר, תזכורת לעצמי: הסיבה שאני לא שמה כמעט בושם היא שכשאני כן שמה בושם אני שונאת את זה. מסתובבת כל הערב בתוך עננת ריח שמציקה לי ומפריעה לי להריח את האוכל, את הניחוח השונה של כל חלל וחדר, את הצמחייה והאוויר בחוץ. זה גוזל ממני חוש.

שבת שלום

I love this one. I would have liked poetry more in school if some of it had been like this. Lol

It's Homeward Bounders day! This week we're incredibly fortunate to have the brilliant @aptshadow.bsky.social walking the Bounds with us as we explore tragedy, time, the multiverse, and evil D&D zencastr.com/z/hOgSOXdy

Yes yes Google is trashing its brand by integrating wildly inaccurate AI into its search functionality BUT I *love* the ‘hallucination’ that Austen didn’t cite Wollstonecraft cos she was bitchily throwing shade on her actual sister

This pattern - in white and blue - served for the endpapers of our edition of “Gobbolino the Witch’s Cat” which @tanaudel.bsky.social illustrated.
