What will ambition do for me that the fox, appearing suddenly
at the top of the field,
her eyes sharp and confident as she stared into mine,

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online now, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Has anyone lost their dog in the Central Bangalore/Cooke Town/Frazer Town/Banaswadi area? Neighbours found him struggling on the street yesterday and he is clearly someone's pet, anxious to find his way back home. Please RT for reach!
