Snippets from a much needed fun weekend.

Story of my life this week.

Happy FATM North American tour day start to all those who celebrity! T-minus 41 days until my LA invasion for two nights of Florence + the Machine.

There are a surprising number of people in politics + media who don't understand that nuclear launch authority rests solely with POTUS. Trump doesn't need clearance from Congress or the courts. Even preemptively. All that stands between him and nuclear war are military refusing to follow his orders.

Can AI responses be influenced? The SEO industry is trying The explosion of AI search tools and features changed the landscape for marketers looking to get in front of customers. Now there’s a gold rush for firms claiming to help brands get cited by AI.

Still publishing self-serving listicles? Google provided a comment to The Verge. Again, BEWARE. BTW, Mia said SEO industry... Uh, it's the GEO industry!! :) -> Can AI responses be influenced? The SEO industry is trying

Google's comment in the next part of this thread...

We have hardwood floors now except for the two bedrooms... why do my cats insist on throwing up on the carpet and not the hardwood? Why are cats?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Rockies Opening Day at Coors Field. Go Rox!

Trump admits he’s sacrificing Americans' health care to go to war with Iran.

Dear lord, did Claude have a lobotomy overnight? No longer following Sources, ignoring simple instructions, it's like it doesn't want to do anything this morning...

Yes, I am THIS type of @fallout.bethesdastudios.com fan. Thanks Costco and Jones!

Let's go Summit! So stoked to be here for the inaugural home game!

Get yourself a best friend like @yourfavoriteseo.bsky.social who travels the world and sends you coffee.

This will never get old.

The Delta Airlines hub in Atlanta has suspended stand-alone specialty services for members of Congress until the Republican Party's TSA funding crisis is resolved.

This needs to be every airline and every airport.

Congress can wait in line with the rest of us.

I love watching these ducks come hang by at the pool every so often. It's often the little things in life that bring us joy.

Bernie vs. Claude I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the…

I worry that people watching this don't understand that. Not that what Senator Sanders is talking/asking about isn't important but AI isn't the right place to have this conversation.

I have lots of questions about this conversation with Claude. I'd like to know what personalization options have been used, what prompts were used, what memories might be saved, and more.

We know AI gives you the answers you want, not the answers as is in many cases.

Very telling that Disney/Hulu was totally okay with greenlighting the latest season of The Bachelorette and all the drama behind it, knowing what was going on before it became public, but then declined to move forward with the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer continuation...

Such a terrible UX update to ChatGPT.

It's by no means ideal, but it's one use case in my world of AI that makes up for a skill I don't have.

Good thought, John. I've been using AI images for a lot of my AI-related posts and so far it hasn't seemed to turn people away but who knows who it might in the future.

I thought the same thing when writing it. Sadly, I am not a graphic designer by any means and it's at least one area of AI I can lean into to make up for not being good visually.

Teyana Taylor is EXACTLY who I want to be supporting literally every woman in my life when she wins at anything big or small.

Made homemade stuffed crust pizza last night. It's so good to be cooking and baking and making dough from scratch again.

I wrote about what it actually takes to make content feel like yours, and why so much of what's out there reads like it came off an assembly line on the RicketyRoo blog: ricketyroo.com/blog/human-f...

If your last three blog posts could swap logos with a competitor and no one would notice, you don't have a voice problem. You have a content problem.

AI can help you draft faster. It can't give you a point of view, real experience, or a story anyone remembers next week.

Life is killing all the time and so the goddess kills herself in the sacrifice of her own animal.

Growing potential for a major and potentially historic March heat wave next week for Colorado.

80s in Denver possible mid-late next week, 90s southeast plains.

All-time March records in play for Denver and much of Colorado if this pans out the way it looks right now.

AI, Grief, and a Lost Kids' Workbook When a Chatbot Helped Me Find Proof That Someone Saw My Grief

I wasn't looking for productivity. I was looking for proof.

Proof that someone saw little me after my mom died and tried to help.

After 30-some years of searching, ChatGPT helped me find the grief workbook I thought was gone for good.

I wrote about it here:
