Jan 13, 2026 @ 13:01 God afternoon family & friends❣️ It looks gray outside, haven't checked the weather. Been, of course, working on this site since I got up a couple of hours ago. Pete is at another appointment, getting tests. My excitement for the day is that I'm going to try making mayo out of HB eggs. Lots of videos online about how to do it. Mayo has gotten crazy expensive, especially the kinds without seed oils (which I've been avoiding long before it was trendy to do so). I want to play my keyboard and work on some more of the songs from the Rejoice Hymns (Hamilton) which is the first of the modern hymnals I bought last year. As you can see by yesterday's music I shared, I'm still in the C's in the index, so I have a LOT more to work on in this book alone. Of course the PoiBoiz have been keeping me company all morning, especially Maxwell who loves to fly back and forth from me to various other spots. Elliot is more sedentary (and also older) and would rather stand on top of his cage and call for me to come and get him hahaha! He's a good flyer but not as much of a smooth land-er anymore...failing eyesight perhaps? In October he will be 28; most sources give them a lifespan of 25-30, but some claim they can live up to 40 years. I hope that's the case with my boiz... Anyway, I guess I will go get on with my day, and will see you later❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜

Every time I explain to someone that "AI" is really just a "word calculator" that phrase suddenly demystifies the topic and you see the lights go on inside their brain.
The biggest trick the tech bros pulled was simply making ordinary folks believe AI has some kind of mysterious capability. It doesn't.
It's great at highly repetitive pattern matching, and ideal for generating very mediocre output. Mostly, AI is a solution desperately in search of a problem.

Palestinians bury a one-year-old child, Mohammed Basyouni, who died of hypothermia in his displaced family's tent. This is a direct result of Israel's deliberate and ongoing destruction of entire neighbourhoods in Gaza. Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to demolish homes while blocking temporary housing units from entering the Strip.
A displaced Palestinian family in Gaza survives inside a heavily damaged building as winter storms intensify. With shelters inadequate and the Israeli blockade preventing the entry of vital aid, families are left exposed to extreme cold and worsening conditions.
