Quiet Saturday. Reading a book in French and just about done. I've got a small stack of them and I'm determined to finally read them all.

Learning French since my 20s. 1st trip to France I did exceptionally well and none detected I was American. Some thought I was French-Canadian, which I took as a compliment. Lost that fluency tho & have been trying to get back. Duolingo did not work! Now focused on conversation instead. Determined!

Californians are no strangers to hate, but the hate we’re getting during these unprecedented fires is next level.

Look into it—when other states face disasters, California steps up to help, no questions asked. Our governor and leaders don’t trash-talk the states in need!

Zooming in on the grate reveals AI-like artifacts. Image analysis shows a 60-70% probability that this was processed using an AI enhancement tool. Geometric Distortions & Noise Patterns along with light/shadow inconsistencies reveal AI-like post processing. I'll bet the original photo is amazing.

I can see that you're saying it's not AI (and I'm not challenging you on that) but I'm wondering if you run your pictures though an AI upscaler? I've tried that with various photos and it gives it the effect similar to what I'm seeing in your image. To my eye it does have an AI quality to it.

Your post is vague and I didn't watch Jimmy's funeral, but I'm guessing you are watching that and they let T-rump speak?

Back from an amazing vacation- longest I ever took, and just taking one at all is something. I read a book called "The Four Agreements" and while I'm agnostic about other "realms" I have made the four agreements with myself and will be practicing this daily. I highly recommend it. Easy read.

It starts to pick up once you start following your friends and they follow back. Just takes a little bit to get going.

I'm sorry to say this, but It doesn't matter anymore.

Ya'll remember the movie Wargames? Anyone up for a game of Chess?

Well it really depends on how the band does in rehearsal. My experience is usually that a new band I've started takes one to two months to be ready to play. Realistically, it could be sometime early in 2025. Definitely not by December, but possibly January.

On the 7th at 7! 😅

No bookings yet. Not at least a couple months.

I'm reviving my old punk band that only played one show several years ago. My son Oz will be on bass! I'll be on guitar and vocals and Marco Perez on drums.

What did you think about the Taylor/Serrano fight? There are claims of racism by calling the fight for Taylor. Serrano called the judges "shady" to their faces live in the ring, and the announcers insinuated that Texas lacks integrity. So much smack talk! Too much hate, tho Remain good sports y'all!

I wanna fight the announcer. I mean I'm keyed up because it's boxing, but this announcer is just annoying.

Netflix too cheap to add the servers to handle the bandwidth. They just realized they're going to lose their ass with everyone talking about canceling subscriptions & demanding refunds for frozen screens & pixelation. You can see that they JUST added 100k servers.

I feel like I'm watching Rocky IV

Agree, Deke. I haven't deleted my X account yet, but I will. It's nothing more than Elon's propaganda platform.

Hic sum! Salve!
