Ann Arborite who used to blog about the Simpsons. Made this account to follow #a2council after Twitter died. Steadily following more accounts in other nerdy subjects. Yes, I work in software and use Linux, I will endeavor not to be boorish about either.

I know everything sucks and all, but last night we saw fireflies for the first time this summer.
If anyone else has seen that turkey that's been near the hospital the last few weeks, I saw it again this morning but this time with chicks. They were tucked into the bushes near the parking structure at Catherine & Glen. I called the city and sent the humane society a text, not sure what else to do.

None of OpenAI's publicity boasts make any sense mathematically.

Big finance and VC crap is not my area of expertise, but I'm very much on team 'they're in over their heads' with the 'they' including not only OpenAI, but its incestuously close partners Softbank and Nvidia.

I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes at the Board or administrative levels, but tempers are running high and everybody's stressed.

Would not surprise me if he wanted out.

Saw my first goslings last week, but this morning, where the creek joins the river by Island Park, were two proud parent ducks and 12+ *tiny* ducklings swimming in the shallows by the bridge.

They're so small and were flowing around so much I couldn't get an exact count!

That turn off Beakes onto Fifth is a mess. Even if you take it calmly while driving, there's often someone behind you anxious to make lights on Fifth and pass before you even get to Kingsly.
Shoutout to the music school kid who was practicing saxophone in Island Park last night, great little impromptu public concert.
