If you haven't seen it yet, go check out @ernie's new search engine ...

... which automatically appends "&udm=14" to the end of your search query ...

... thereby triggering Google to give you your results with no AI answer at the top, and (for me, anyway) no ads

It's like google from 2004 or something

Apparently in #perimenopause the question of “am I having my period today” does not have a deterministic answer. Sweet. 🙄

Hello?

marisa, 6 months ago to random

Left the Bird Site.

Left Facebook.

Am seriously considering Instagram.... (as a visual artist, this is a difficult one to leave).

Grateful to have found Mastodon and many of the same people from the other places.

“I had a guy come in with his family ... and he did 16 rounds of shrimp scampi. He was there for over two hours on a busy Friday night. They had one of my biggest tables. I just had to watch this man eat plates upon plates of the scampi, which isn’t even served over pasta. It’s shrimp in a garlic-wine butter.

"It was so gross.”

Behold the "poetry camera" -- you take a picture, it writes a poem based on what it sees and prints that up

you don't get a photo

just the poem

I feel like my nose is breaking some law of physics. The amount of snot coming out seems to be far in excess of what I’ve taken in.

And, I ask again, why are we (America) giving Israel billions of dollars?(!?!?!) this is beyond "self-defense" - it's a fucking atrocity.

Although given our history (I'M NOT THAT SHOCKED!)

..."When news outlets shut down in a city, that creates what's often called a news desert. But in Richmond, California, NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik says the situation is more like a news mirage.

Energy giant #Chevron is the biggest employer - and the biggest polluter in the #California city. Chevron also owns the local news site. How does that impact the community there?"
