Elephant calf update: very baby

Excellent! Makes me feel a little bit of hope. And makes total sense … Muzzle velocity …. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Current read … 🧠 “Catatonic stupor is a terrifying experience, not a gentle oblivion.”

Cabot Cove, Maine: Murder capital of the world! 80s/90s nostalgia

Since I was last here, I went through and recovered from a horrible depression. Hello world!

those clamoring for "free speech" want to be able to say whatever they want without being called on their bullshit. but that's never been how free speech works. 100 years ago, if you started talked shit at the local pub, you'd be told to go home and sleep it off. censureship isn't censorship.

More of my amateur painting. Very therapeutic.

Having Italian for Christmas Eve. Husband said “You’re not having squid are you?” Traditionally it was all fish on Christmas Eve. I miss my Italian family. ❤️

Attended meditation and Dharma talk today online. Fell asleep at the end. I do far better in person. But glad I attended. From me and my teacup to you.

Escaping Twin Flames is painful to watch. Wtf. I’m not a violent person at all, but I want to see him get punched in the face.

Painted for a friend. Colors are better IRL.

Today I painted, read, and puzzled. It’s at least as interesting as a Rothko.

I married Aibohphobia Bob.

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 for the most part. This is my second time owning it.

One of the most inspiring books 📚 I’ve ever read.

My husband is OBSESSED with AI and all the Sam Altman drama. And now we may learn the truth about Q* Not to be confused with QAnon. It’s a derivative of A* More than I wanted to know. Ever. Good thing we have *some* things in common!

A photo interview book about those in relationships with exotic dancers. “The striking images and insightful interviews capture these relationships in unvarnished terms, juxtaposing the reality of everyday life and the fantasy world dancers occupy when working.” chrisbuckbooks.com/gentlemens-c...

AI coffee based on an Ethiopian blend described as “cotton candy, peaches, and lilac.” Delicious. ☕️

On the way. It’s the good stuff…

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care. arstechnica.com/health/2023/...

Reading on primary and secondary defensive processes. Good stuff.

Confession: I watch Selling Sunset and make comments about the ridiculousness the whole time.

One AI variation of my mind. Losing phone, keys, shoes, jacket…. “Oh no! I forgot my coffee!” My brain is a random pile of Post-it notes.

Watercolor is a fairly new hobby. A first painting of mine in this style to practice some techniques. Special to me because I made it … And it happens to match our new carpet.

Had to use ChatGPT to explain “What is ‘the unconscious,’ and where is it located in the brain? A neuropsychoanalytic perspective.” ChatGPT is quite useful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
