I get the weirdest adverts, probably because I try to limit tracking. Some stuff seems fairly standard, like promises of bikini shots of ageing slebs or swamp coolers pretending to be aircon, but also apparently israeli missile manufacturers?
I appreciate that ad targeting is tricky, but the number of actual individual people in the market for battlefield weaponry sold by nations actively engaging in genocide has got to be quite small.
I had no idea what "loom" was, only that the logo looked like an anus, which means it is probably an AI product.

One tray down. Another tray’s worth stuffed in the fridge. The rest is gonna have to get stuck in a box and put outside to keep it cool overnight.

Here’s approximately a quarter of the spare strawberries today. I don’t think I have quite enough fridge, freezer or stomach space for it, but I’m gonna try my best.
