Six months into 2023, I've run 1,176km. That's nearly as far as I ran in all of 2022. I'm on pace to break 2,000km by the end of this year, which would shatter my previous best of 1,841km – a number I hit in 2018, after starting HRT but before the spiro had erased much of my muscle.
I am 42 years old and I've never been a stronger runner. It's astonishing what one can do in a body that actually feels like an ally.

Who’s up for a 5-mile easy trail run in humidity that makes your glasses fog up? Sweaty bitches only!!!
lewd, silly
dick from your werewolf wife on your wedding night, call that tying the knot
I shared the partial draft of a novella with a trusted friend the other night. I'm nervous about her feedback, but tempering that is the amazement I felt while re-reading a thing I last worked on half a year ago. I don't often say I'm "good" at something, but I think I might be good at writing.
@mavica_again (because i can see someone i admire and think of as strong talking about it openly)
@mavica_again i liked this because i see and appreciate the vulnerability and because i "like" the feeling of knowing that my own fragility is something i don't have to be ashamed of
I regret every minute I spent working with React.js

AI ethics good and bad thread
Bad: In contrast, Microsoft finished an AI product and then immediately fired their entire AI ethics team.
Strangely, I think it is interesting they even had a team to begin with. Lots of companies don't even think AI ethics is necessary, when in my opinion it is paramount. But ethics doesn't make money I guess...

Good: Adobe Firefly... I can't believe I'm about to congratulate them but, here it goes! They only train their image generation content based on opted-in content they explicitly have permission and the rights too.
People have critiqued that Adobe is falling behind on AI. And it's because they are doing it ethically, the right way, get over it lol. I applaud them.

It's possibly even worse to have inaccurate captions than no captions at all. These tools often get words, grammar, and punctuation wrong. They don't understand acronyms or the names of products. They will misspell someone's name or not understand neopronouns. Sometimes they even attribute what was said to the wrong person. This hurts everyone consuming the transcript.

Never mind, it’s fucking fake. AI shit generated by some asshole named Dmitrii. https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/14fvnas/excuse_me_but_wtf_is_this/
What an innocuous way to conclude over a decade of waiting. I got up just before dawn to get a drink and discovered that a new Boards of Canada song is out
I love ultra running but I feel like this season might be my last for a bit. Assuming I finish the 50-miler in Squamish in August, it would be nice to reclaim the hours that training requires. I could feel like makeup and nice outfits weren’t wasted because I have to get dressed for a run later.
I created the groversub in BeamNG.drive and it started making collision sounds and smoking all on its own, before anything interacted with it
It looks like they found a way to make me like Mario even less
@mavica_again it looks wild and cool as fuck
@hergaiety I’m indoors
