Ever have so much to do in one day you don't know where to start? That's where I am today.

This Strategy plan is starting to worry me. Saylor is literally just making stuff up now to get more money in order to buy more #bitcoin. I get wanting to acquire BTC, but this creating stocks and shares promising greater payouts down the road is starting to sound awfully pyramid-ish. It works as long as BTC goes up, then it doesn't. I'll give him credit for doing what he believes in. Instead of changing the name from Microstrategy to Strategy, he should have changed it to Going All In because that's what he's doing. https://www.cryptopolitan.com/strategy-launches-strd-new-perpetual-stock/

I realize that "AI is making us all dumber" is the idea du jour, but I'm starting to wonder if it's true. At least in this early-going period, until AI gets really smart or truly figures out us dumb people, it might make us smarter. In the least, it might improve our writing skills. To use AI effectively, it absolutely forces us to use as much exact precision in our writing as possible. And, with language being so close or the same thing as thinking, it requires us to think with precision. This article is great along these lines:

Turn AI coding assistants into more reliable development partners

On desktop, I can't get an image to upload on my usual go-to clients: failed on Nostrudel, then Coracle, then Iris. Finally got an image to work on Yakihonne. What gives?

The lychees (notoriously fickle year to year) are coming in nicely. Getting that beautiful deep red. Already ate a few and they are good, need to sweeten up a bit, but still good and tangy. My wife has recipes lined up.

I don't know about global warming on the rise, but seems like geomagnetic storms are on the rise. Or maybe they're just a buzzy thing now and we hear about them more...I lean this way. Anyway, I've been looking up but haven't seen any auroras and feel left out. Had to make my own fake one:

Solar Flare Night - Geomagnetic Art

It's pretty and fun, and actually reports the current activity on the 0-9 scale.

One thing I respect about AI chatbots is how confident they are. They will tell you something like "The Earth is flat," with complete confidence. Then when you call them out, they're like, "You're right, the Earth is round," then just move on like they were never wrong at all. I've met successful financial advisor types like that when it comes to stock markets. They'd be totally wrong, but then just move on.

Forget about building a rocket to occupy Mars without exploding before leaving Earth's orbit and forget about AI pushing us all out and taking over the globe. If you want to save humanity, we need to focus our engineering on designing a coffee pot that won't spill everywhere when you pour it. #savethehumans

Lots of geomagnetic activity going on, might be auroras at night. For fun, I made this to check the current level of activity, 0-9 (it's a 6 right now). It's not Van Gogh's "Starry Night", it's "Solar Flare Night":
