I have visited mother and also Rudolf, who for some reason thought we'd be packing him away in his carrier to take him somewhere... And then hid in the kitchen sink in protest. đŸ˜† Not even wet food enticed him out at first!

There are just so many pictures of Mojo displaying his belly, because this is a kitty with absolute trust that tummies are for petting.

The sun has finally shifted enough for somebody to enjoy his favourite morning spot for the first time this year.

If you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).

One week in, and the little furballs are settling in very happily. I think this morning's sun might be the first time their silver linings have been so nicely highlighted!

Don't anthropomorphize LLMs, language is important. Say "the bot generated some text" not "the AI replied". Use "this document contains machine-generated text" not "this work is AI-assisted". See how people squirm when you call out their slop this way.

I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big #plushtodon is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!

@jasu This seems to be the source: https://www.instagram.com/p/DT7zMVfjEtb/

It's not official or real. I'm not sure if AI was involved, but poster used the word "imagined" to describe the creation so unfortunately likely.
