I turned 41 today.
I woke up with a pimple on my nose.
To usher me into my middle age, Nature has given me the most adolescent of experiences.

@TexasObserver is not dead yet! You can save them!
They have set up a GoFundMe page to raise $100,000 and they’re halfway there!
If the goal is reached, staff keep their jobs—and a truly innovative publication lives another day!
Not only does @TexasObserver write compelling stories, they are a true Fediverse innovator who run their own Mastodon server!

UPDATE:
@TexasObserver has reached $100K in donations from 1.3K donors.
They’ve now created a stretch goal of $200K and hope that this will convince the board to continue operating the publication.
I’m convinced that the Fediverse has given @TexasObserver a chance at life.
The staff of the @TexasObserver have set up a GoFundMe to ask for help after the board voted to shutter the magazine. Please give if you can’t and share even if you can’t. https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff
When they came for the trans people, I stood in support of the trans people even though I'm not trans, because I read the goddamn poem by Martin Neimoller.

OKAY #newstodon WE GOT A SHOT AT THIS
16 hours ago the #TexasObserver - a 69 (nice) year old paper and #mastodon trailblazer - was going to shut down Friday.
16 hours later the emergency fundraiser to save the paper is _over_ halfway to goal _already_.
If you care about non-corporate-owned #news now is a damned good time to step up.
If you care about Mastodon mattering, how's the headline "Mastodon Saves Historic Newspaper" sound to you?

It's amusing to me that star trek imagined a world where an AI faces social rejection because he's rational, fact based, literal, fiercely/dogmatically moral, and struggles with social nuance. But here in reality we invented AIs that have no concept of truth, give zero fucks about accuracy, have no rationality, and can't do math, but match vibes and tone nearly perfectly.
The first artificial person will not be an autistic science officer. It'll be an extremely allistic salesbro or politician.

I just had #ChatGPT write a cover letter for me for a job application. It came out really well. #JobSearch #AI

Loch Beinn A Mheadhoin with the snow capped mountain, Carn Eige in the distance. As I stopped to take the photograph a pair of swans landed on the loch

The beautiful blue loch is shimmering as two swans swim through the mirrored glass. In the distance is a large mountain capped with white snow. Around the edges of the loch are areas of golden grass. The sky is a brilliant blue with a few fluffy white clouds.

Kira: My problem is everyone asking me what my problem is!
“Take those tortillas out of your underwear” is not something I thought I’d have to say to my children.
What was I doing yesterday at this hour?

Oh yeah?! Well, I don’t even care why I came in here, Kitchen, so there!
Evening at the lake.
If you're a doctor and you hated "Based on my Google search I think you're wrong. It's actually...", boy are you going to love "I consulted with ChatGPT and...".
One of the main challenges for new servers on here is discovering content to interact with.
Relays speed up the discovery process, and allow even a single user server to automatically see a large part of the Fediverse.
There's a new relay service by @astro@c3d2.social called FediBuzz Relay:
It allows servers to subscribe to custom relays based on tags or instances. (If you use this, can you let us know your experiences in the replies?)
