It is awesome to see one of the SBOYZ singing in the sing language. I snapped the shot of the part where he said “love.”

I just remembered watching this cartoon episode as a kid. Hard to believe it’s almost 90 years old — and the tortoise shares my name. It was fun watching it.
In the 1936 Disney Silly Symphony short Toby Tortoise Returns, released August 22, 1936, Max Hare and Toby Tortoise face off in a boxing ring. Max is faster, but Toby pulls off the win after Max accidentally stuffs him with fireworks. It’s about 7 minutes long and absolutely worth a watch.
I did read the book, with the same name, The Chestnut Man three years ago but I didn’t finish. It was good but I got distracted with other things and forgot about it. I should finish reading the book!

I am guilty. I am one of those who pay for AI subscriptions. But I don’t hate AI. I paid almost $200 for 4 Generative AIs. I am trying to decide which ones I want to keep…I used the most in order:
Claude (pretty almost everything)
Gemini (general chats/questions and checking website/app coding when Claude is stuck on)
ChatGPT (Generative images)
Notion AI (do whatever I need within pages or docs)

“Humanoid robots have been everywhere lately.” Yes, I noticed it lately and it is scary that the future is already here.
Humanoid robots have been hyped as the future of everything, from completing household chores to caring for elders to doing the dirty work on the factory floor, while Elon Musk is pivoting Tesla from cars to humanoid robots, claiming they’ll soon outnumber humans.

Pecis employs photographs as a reference, transforming unique moments onto linen. She uses paints with a consistent opacity, blending both similar and exaggerated hues, while focusing on texture and pattern. Each element, from plant fronds to the water’s shimmering surface, reflects her careful attention to detail.
