@tsturm Ha!

Captured with a DSLR and a 19mm shifting lens.

The former Harbison's Dairies, locally known as the "milkbottle building", is a prominent local landmark in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia. It was long vacant at the time this was captured, but has since been spruced up and redeveloped as a mixed-use commercial space. Surrounding development has enveloped the building; the milkbottle-shaped water tower is no longer readily visible from the street.

Hmm, now I feel even better about minimizing my purchase of new clothing.

2026 is kind of the year where every FLOSS project or organization I still had faith in broke my heart.

AND every project or org I was suspicious of, came around to punch me in the gut; when I was already feeling down.

I have no regrets about the silly joke about the national mall.

Yep, we got hit with a pineapple express.

This entire discovery happened when my husband and I were walking down the street and I said "I hope those fat and snorty little creatures want to climb all over me" and a man happened to be stepping out onto his front porch right as I said it, so I think it's important for everyone to know that I was talking about a litter of pugs.

@pluralistic note thst we'd been having chat bots generating prose for way much longer that the current crop of AI companies would like us to believe.
Quarter century ago, I remember people building markov models on Alice in Wonderland, Shakespear, and the Bible and having fun with what such a model generates (https://www.eblong.com/zarf/markov/), a technique more recently applied to parodying the tangerine tyrant (https://chalkdustmagazine.com/features/fun-with-markov-chains/).
mostly PhDs played with those, no techbro though about selling it

In the summer of 1987, I spent time hitching around rural Ireland with a backpack & tent. On a lark, I rode on a mail boat from Bunbeg to Tory Island, one of the most isolated gaeltachts (rural regions where Irish is still spoken by native speakers) remaining. It was £2 to go out one morning. Of course then the weather changed & I ended up stranded for 3 days. There was a B&B for £8 a night. After 3 days, a fishing boat was able to put in briefly & take a few of us back to mainland Donegal. For £10, naturally. The waters had been & still were too rough. In a raincoat, I clung to a pole on the side of the boat as we skipped across the channel like a stone, bouncing off wavecrests. That's when I learned I don't get seasick. But I suppose I've never been to the big leagues.

Remarkable trip overall.
