Mmmmm, sunbeam. #catstodon #catsodon

@skinnylatte No joke: get a place on a high floor where there are no immediately adjacent buildings. I lived in an apartment in Cambridge that was sun-blasted every daylight hour.

@skinnylatte (also, that is exactly how a native Bostonian pronounces “impostor.”

Disappointed to see stacks of signs strewn around Boston Common tonight. Kids, a protest is like camping: pack it in, pack it out. #NoKings

The Residence on Netflix is great, and I’m so disappointed it won’t get a second season. It definitely had a bit of a Knives Out vibe, so if you like that sort of thing, watch it.

Also very sad that Andre Braugher never got to complete his role in it. Giancarlo Esposito was fantastic;,it’s just the fact that it was Braugher’s final role and he never got to finish it that made me sad.

Thanks to everyone who recommended it yo me!

@GreenSkyOverMe Ja, bitte! Ich weiß, dass ich viel Fehler mache.

@GreenSkyOverMe Ja, ich studiere Deutsch. Ich kann dass ein bisschen sprechen und verstehen. Aber Toots sind mehr schwer, weil sie kurz sind. Es ist einfacher wann es gibt mehr Zusammenanhang.

If you are in #boston, Kristina Wong has brought her show Food Bank Influencer to town today and tomorrow only! It’s at one of the Emerson theaters. Get an idea of what it’s about here:

Saw this book at the Peabody Essex Museum today. It feels like we need a version for adults.

@mcmullin @skinnylatte Hooray!

@vsvivek93 @skinnylatte We would love it if you could!

@skinnylatte @stephen There are restaurants that say Proudly Serving White Meat Only?

As you say, most people do know better, but there is a subset that is different. They’re not that way only with ethnic (Indian/Italian/etc.) foods; they’d go to Peter Lugar’s Steakhouse and demand something fat-free.

@jik @skinnylatte Noooooooooo! I hope you speedrun through your clinical trial and can join us.

Hey #bostodon ! We are having a Mastodon meetup (tootup?) next Friday the 19th, because @skinnylatte is in town!

Details:
Trillium Beer Garden
In the Greenway by Rowes Wharf
5–7pm (or thereabouts, who knows, we could shut the place down if we are feeling feisty)

I have gotten permission to bring in n/a beverages for those of us who don’t drink. There are food trucks on site and you can bring your own food. (No live lobsters, please.)

It’s convenient to the Red Line, Blue Line, Silver Line, and South Station commuter rail, a slightly longer walk to the Green and Orange lines and North Station, and close to all ferries (you can roll off the Hingham/Hull/Lynn ferry and into the beer garden). AND you can park in the Rowes Wharf or Aquarium Garage, if you are the sort of person that enjoys driving in Boston at rush hour on a Friday.

@NoRomBasic @skinnylatte Oooo, what for? This is relevant to my interests!

What particularly burns me about this article is that it then DEFENDS the use of ChatGPT by therapists!

Therapists are now using ChatGPT during sessions to find responses to their therapy clients. I cannot begin to say how wrong this is.

Okay, I will. First off, ChatGPT is not HIPAA compliant. Anything a therapist tells ChatGPT is part of its data and corpus.

@constantorbit There is also proof that getting the shingles vaccine significantly lowers your risk of dementia. If you want to do ONE THING to prevent dementia, the shingles vaccine is the most significant thing you can do.

@skinnylatte I think it’s also what you are accustomed to. I once had a MUCH higher sugar tolerance than I do now. For allergy reasons I had to cut a lot of sugar out of my diet, and now 90% of sweet desserts are much sweeter than I would like.

Way opposite to you in the bread though. I’m like, “why is everything so soft?” (I was raised on Eastern European rye bread made out of whole grain rye and wheat.)

@jik @Lana This is allegedly a reprint from the Herald Sun, but this article is not in the Durham Herald Sun site. The author listed is someone who does the crime beat. Not saying it’s not true, but I’ve been seeing a lot of AI-generated stuff lately from sites that look like this.
