: now i feel like i have to know the name of everything and they're all long latin names and i'm brain damaged....vegetable farming is what I know. annuals and perennials and houseplants, oh my!
I see there are a ton of different digital and physical botany flashcards out there, and those might be helpful, though the printed ones are spendy. However, what (very) little I know about the scientific names of plants comes almost entirely from watching videos from https://www.crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt.com/. The thickest Chicago accent in the world makes it a lot of fun.
@jer : thank u!
Hey, I've had to memorize latin names for literally thousands of species for my job . . . along with being able to recall pertinent info about each one, which I imagine would also be a useful skill for you. If you would like some tips on how I did that I'd be happy to pass them along. (When I was taking my native plant & master gardener etc. certifications those skills enabled me to learn dozens of species in half a day during field trips and classes, so I feel confident those tips would apply.) Let me know if you're interested!

Fav time of day is going to the dog park near me to watch other people’s dogs. It’s super chill (and cute).
There's a dog park directly across the road from my place. I love hanging on the fence to watch them. For months I was hearing this loud dog bark around 4pm every day, sounded like it had to be a Great Dane with such a loud deep bark. Popped over to see it and it turned out to be a Bassett Hound. I had no idea they barked like that
Anyways, visit dog parks gang, its good therapy

Picture of a laminated sheet with bilingual instructions. At the bottom there are instructions for free WiFi that requires a long random string of letters for the password
That’s a wicked password for free WiFi.

Coloured pencil drawing of a woman with long hair, a striped French boat neck shirt and red lips singing into a microphone. She has her right hand raised in a dramatic gesture. The background is dark, but in the back you can still see the small figure of a guitar player with dark glasses and a moustache.
Catherine Ringer, iconic singer of French rockers Les Rita Mitsouko, dies aged 68
I don't know how well their music crossed the ocean, but for me it was a huge part of growing up in my 20s here in Europe and I've loved them ever since. Their best work was filled with abandon, humor, poetry, sadness and hooks that stayed with you for decades. Her partner Fred Chichin died in 2007.
'Catherine Ringer has died at 68 after a battle with cancer. A defining figure in French rock and half of the iconic duo Les Rita Mitsouko alongside Fred Chichin, the singer leaves behind more than four decades of music, from Marcia Baïla to C’est comme ça, and a prolific solo career.'

I don't know their music well any more but decades ago it was part of my college radio experience.
It was big on the dance floor for certain clubs in the US, and of course the videos!
I saw them live, pretty sure it was at Starck Club.

Aww. Les Rita Mitsoukou. So very weird in a good way

“Flames! Flames shooting up the side of my face!” Kinda mad about the assholes who ruin parks for everyone else because they cannot or will not follow the rules.
Seeing the footsteps that you have taken off trail in the hydrothermal beds is what starts me off.

In defense of the owners of the hats pictured here, @m3moellering, these people probably DIDN'T trample where they shouldn't have and that's why their hats were picked up by the Park Service. I've watched plenty of hats blow off someone's head and into a thermal area in Yellowstone and rather than walk out there and pick it up (risking both their own safety and the fragile ecosystem) the hat gets left where it lands.
Yeah hats blow off, they collected a bunch of other stuff that shouldn't have been brought into the area to begin with.

A brown dog with a white nose lays on a fuzzy dark gray dog bed. He has one eye open as the other side of his face rests smushed against the bed. The photo is taken close to his face and his head takes up most of the space.
It’s been about a month with Titan in the house. He’s very well settled in. He’s also a very good boy.

The profile of an angel attached to a crush against the sun and sparse clouds
I've ended a small break from What I Saw. Like my Finding Things podcast, thinking of it ruined my walks, and there are.damned few things worth ruining my walks. I think of Language Is A Virus "Hey are you talking to me or are you just practicing for one of those performances of yours" I've been reading Situationist stuff so maybe I'm being too particular about it.
Anyway, this is from favorite artist, a guy who has been maintaining a yard full of Odd Objects for decades.

We built the library, someone else started charging admission

Screenshot of a tweet from Suraj Sharma saying, "Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird. The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free. Al companies turned all of it into products worth billions. And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission." To which another person "fractally" replied (on Tumblr), "This has been my main argument against "Al" from the very beginning. OpenAl scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us. And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this."
Insert a comment here about my personal dislike of screenshots of screenshots of social media posts on other social media sites, but I thought this was a lucid point worth sharing.
The machines and processes of the industrial revolution were powered by the forests and swamps of the Carboniferous period, which left deposits of coal for later exploitation. LLMs are powered by deposits of human ingenuity and ordered knowledge, and presently run in a way that inhibits and contaminates the renewal of those resources.
