Blooms from my yard today. Taken during a brief break in the rain.

Flowers in my yard. Scarlet bee balm and multi-colored sweet peas.

My current favorite source of dopamine is tossing bait at the anti-AI people on Threads. I got called sanctimonious and annoying in one. Delightful. Currently considering doing the same to chum the waters of the anti-blockchain people there 😅

The only thing I buy that hasn't experienced inflation is weed. I just got 34 1g prerolls for $20 😂

HUGE decision on AI and copyright came down. Training AI on copyrighted material is fair use. Piracy is considered a separate issue. Which means that AI companies will be able to make deals with publishers - much like libraries do - to get discounted copies of copyrighted materials for training AI without worry about infringing on copyright because training is considered a transformative and fair use of the material.

Rode my bike to the lake five miles from my house.

If the police have to come to my house for any reason, they show up with snipers positioned behind trees at a distance from my house. I maintain a patch of poison ivy next to my studio door and regularly prune it back with no protective gear at all. These are two unrelated facts about my life that I often chuckle about because my life is far more boring than they imply.

Poison ivy covering a bench by the river. I'm gonna have to start taking my pruning sheers with me on bike rides because the city/county has let the plant spread so much and since I maintain a patch of it at home (with leaves three times the size of these ones!), I know how to spot it from a distance and how to safely handle it even without protective equipment.

Tip for the heat: Make sure your ceiling fans are turning counter-clockwise in the summer.

Bike trail through the woods. Went on a 10-mile ride today. The breeze felt so good in this heat. The shade in the woods helped, too. Sat on a bench at the lake and meditated for half an hour before heading back home.

I spent last summer bedbound with a broken leg, so it's nice to be able to go outside and bitch about the heat this year, instead of being stuck in the house bitching about the heat.

Facing a massive heat wave. I shouldn't have complained about the cool spring temps.

Word of the Day: Sentipensar - a Spanish word that describes a way of thinking that integrates both emotion and intellect. Used within Latin American decolonial philosophy to contrast with the Western prioritization of logic over emotion.

My knee and shin where the titanium implants were put in to stabilize my shattered tibia last year started tingling. Five minutes later, the thunder started. My leg is my weather barometer now.

More playing around with Google Firebase AI Studio. Having it create a Chinese language learning app for me. It's currently generating the code for it. Then I'll be able to test it and suggestion changes to it in order to make it exactly what I want/need out of a language learning app as opposed to the gamified nonsense of a lot of other apps.

Playing with Google's Firebase AI Studio. Had it create a journaling app that gives a daily prompt, space to record your reflection, and then analyzes your responses for tone and themes.
