  At the risk of being “too soon,” I don’t think Trump should attend any more White House Correspondents Dinners.

  When Fig first entered the house, my wife made the mistake of separating him from the others by feeding him on the kitchen counter. He’s been fed on the floor since, but he still thinks he can find better food up there. #Caturday #CatsOfSumocat #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

  Turn our backs for a minute (ok, maybe longer), and Pip pounces on the pile of freshly laundered bed sheets like Jawas on a junk droid. Dank farrik. #Caturday #CatsOfSumocat #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #ThisIsTheWay

  While others rail against gen AI taking their job, I’ve spent the better part of two days and counting unslopping PowerPoint slides. A boss, one of many, has been running slides, mostly taken from presentations we made, through a chatbot to get them “just right”for this weekend’s big meeting, and they are so wrong. It’s barfing out slide sized images, not editing the slides, so I’ve been matching the arrangements and swapping in real images for slop like this melted mofo. 🤮 #AI #GenAI

  Throwing back to a cuddlier time with our OG trio of Spooky (R), Patty (T), and Homer (B). Spooky was adopted first, joined quickly by Pat, the oldest. They were with us through every apartment before our current home where Homer joined us. They didn’t always get along but learned to share, unlike the current clowder that’ll probably never be photographed together. #Caturday #CatsOfSumocat #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

  "The group C+C Music Factory said it was still considering whether to participate […] The band Milli Vanilli was also announced as a performer…” — What the actual f***? What year is this? What’s happened to time? “…the Commodores, the rock musician Bret Michaels and Morris Day and the Time also canceled performances.” — There’s the Time. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/arts/music/trump-freedom-250-concert-cancellations.html

  I read a lot of bad takes in tech news, some painfully so, but did anything age as poorly, quickly, and unexpectedly as wide reaction to Apple increasing Mac base memory to 16GB in 2024? e.g., The Verge: "Macs with 8GB of RAM are a thing of the past." Jump forward a year and a half, the MacBook Neo, today’s top selling Mac, has 8GB of RAM, while PC vendors are falling over themselves to match it as if they weren’t already shipping low-cost notebooks. #Apple #MacBookNeo https...

  Enjoyed a “fight fire with fire” moment today when I ran a blatantly AI generated paper through AI detection service, Pangram. I’d already determined the paper was AGI three different ways, but I’d been interested in testing Pangram for a bit when this naturally occurring opportunity knocked. Tested fully AI vs. two controls testing fully human. Still wouldn’t trust it alone, but I’ll keep it bookmarked as a confirmation tool. #Pangram #AI #GenAI #AGI

  This little monster has been enjoying the late spring buffet of the forest fauna. Harley’s been leaving birds and mice and parts thereof on the deck. In particular, he’s caught what I think is the same chipmunk on three different days before it couldn’t be caught again. 😞 #Caturday #CatsOfSumocat #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

  I understand our special military operation in Iran is called Operation Epstein Fury. Do not correct me. That is what it is. Keep repeating it until Emperor PalOfEpstein says it. #OperationEpsteinFury #EpsteinFury #EmperorPalOfEpstein

  As we have an influx of fresh eyes, I should reintroduce myself, but that feels like work, so I’ll have ChatGPT do it… #ChatGPT #CloseEnough #WeAreSumocat

  After adding myself to calckey.world yesterday, I’ve added myself to lemmy.world today, mostly to get the most out of my patronage of mastodon.world. That’s right: we are now the Sumocat of three worlds. #WeAreSumocat https://lemmy.world/u/Sumocat

  As alluring as it is to join Zuck’s new data collection service, I already joined Calckey and Lemmy this week, and Lemmy just got a new iOS/iPadOS app. Memmy for Lemmy definitely has that rough early release look, but it’s a working start, and there’s an iPad version. #Lemmy #iOS #iPadOS https://lemmy.world/post/1080757

  Enjoyed the most amazing meal tonight at the wine bar at Lake Anne Coffee House. Sounds weird, I know, but their cuisine is locally sourced and top notch. Their summer menu features a watermelon curry with black rice that I had to try. My wife enjoyed a mushroom risotto made with cashew cream. Both are plant-based and delicious. #vegan #Reston https://lakeannecoffeehouse.com/

  We made it through the week’s cold spell without incident and through the aftermath of these cats insisting on going out before quickly regretting it. #Caturday #CatsOfSumocat #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

  @welshstu@toot.wales Have you confirmed they weren’t opted out of search? Opting apps out of search for privacy reasons is an idea that makes the rounds. I opt out Settings and Shortcuts as a cheap security trick.
