Just yesterday morning, my brand-new MINI Countryman auto-installed software update 03/2026.54. How exciting! The release notes promised groundbreaking changes, like changing the default interface highlights to green and other vague,...
I just upgraded my Bearblog and so excited I can post pictures so here are some jellyfish pics I took yesterday during a visit to the Oceanarium.
(this is a bit of a break from what i usually post about but it was something that just came to mind, so here you go.) i'm not from america, and i do feel like whatever i've heard about the tipping system over there is not right. i would...

So much of our existence is paradoxical. The desire for freedom is inherent to human nature, yet we willingly sacrifice it in exchange for meaning. “To love is to suffer,” says poor Boris – a truth known deep in the bones of any married...
I’m going to be honest, one of the reasons why I joined Bear is because I’m not quite ready to develop my own site from scratch. I’m not knowledgeable about HTML and CCS. That would be a big task to take on. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll...
Drowning. We used to surf the web. Now we're trying not to drown. I said that this morning to my brother, then realized that's a whole thought iceberg on it's own. Especially since I grew up with the special interests of...
original post by skaetlett. i read this and i HAD to reply to it, because i'm sick and tired of AI-generated promotional graphics and cover arts, too! well, i'm sick of gen AI in general, but its use in covers/posters/etc. in particular....
Someone asked me if I prefer using Claude or ChatGPT for my creative writing projects. The answer is it depends. Do you prefer mathematical symbols or emojis to punctuate your poetry? Would you prefer writing your wedding vows with your...
