It is #caturday, and this is Frankie, who we are looking after for a few days while his regular fosterer is out of town.

Frankie is a delight: affectionate, playful, well-behaved, easy-going, and absolutely beautiful, with elegant gray tabby markings. I do not understand why this cat has not been adopted yet.

His one defect is that he pretends to be more erudite than he is. That’s not his library behind him, it’s mine. As far as I know, he doesn't even know how to read.

Hope you have a relaxing #Caturday in your favorite box.
I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

Death of Expertise

Why study, it's too hard
Need a poem? Use an AI bard!
Who needs experts, who needs school
I, for one, prefer AI drool!
Research, study, it's all to much
That's for losers, I prefer the AI touch
Conjuring confident stuff, perfect lies
Who cares if you take that advice, everyone dies?
It's the perfect machine, passes Turing's test
Why listen to people, the AI's the best!
Now there machine, about this bright red mushroom?
You say it's safe, and I should eat it soon?

#poem (human)

We call this fella Doofus. Three years ago a young hawk was born in one of our trees and spent awhile learning to fly around our yard. He'd crash land right in front of us and just... stand there awhile and look around. He let us get pretty close to him, too. He's been hanging out here in the summers ever since then. Sometimes he flies down and looks in the window.
