I am an American citizen, raised Jewish in a Jewish family, and I am loudly saying that protesting Israel's genocidal actions against Palestinians is not antisemitism.

I've finally added a new format to my home video collection; CED - Capacitance Electronic Disc. RCA's failed entry into the videodisc market arrived too late and too compromised to make any kind of impact. Even so the idea of a film on a vinyl disc is pretty incredible. No I don't have a player 🤣

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

And suddenly it's Mayo already, where have the last 4 months gone? Another couple of Sevilla's classic bars feature on the @alfredorfz calendar - I'll hopefully get back there in June 😋

I've just been sent some of Florence's medical records and was surprised to learn that her birthday is (probably) tomorrow! All we had before was a rough estimate of "about six years old", so it's nice to have an exact date now. Tomorrow will be her seventh birthday!

Let me introduce you to Florence! She has been living with us for a few weeks now but I kept quiet for as I didn't want to promote the problematic "get a bunny for Easter" message. They're getting on great but the bond still isn't fully complete yet. Moku adores his new giant girlfriend.

This is it, I think: Wikipedia is the fruit of conscientious, imaginative humans working for decades. AI is a couple of nanoseconds of pattern recognition pulled out a virtual arse. Wikipedia is free, AI has subscription tiers. Wikipedia is the opposite of AI - it's good, free, and works.

I have never had a good time with Spotify. Every few years I give it a go and every time I'm left amazed at how awful it is. It used to be that they didn't offer ANY artists that I was actually looking for. (Multi post thread...)

How are things with me? Not bad! I mean, the island that appeared on the lake does seem to be moving closer, closer each day, a dark form taking shape in the mist. But work's good and I'm feeling OK except when I find myself gazing at that accursed island, drawing ever nearer. How are you?

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

The 5 yen coin (五円) is considered lucky in Japan because the word for “five yen” — go-en — sounds the same as the word for “fate”, “destiny/connection” (ご縁). People often offer 5 yen coins at shrines when praying for good relationships, luck, or opportunities.
