@glarange72 @emollick To me AI should be able to build great art. It has access to so much collective feedback on what makes impactful art. They should be able to trigger powerful emotions of viewers with that much combined insight. However, I think nuanced art would be harder to grasp.

If you, or your family members, can make the time please think of volunteering this week. EMO is significantly short of volunteers for comfort centres.

I could watch clips like this all morning.

Heartwarming footage from Ukraine.

An elderly woman freezes when she sees a soldier by her house as she thinks he’s from the Russian Army.

The Ukrainian soldier says “it’s our guys coming” and she gives him a long hug.

This is how liberation after 6 months looks like.

@iRunFar @hoka @walmsleyruns Probably not a good time to mention their response to my shoe issues was to buy another brand?

[John Spears @johnbspears]

@iRunFar @kilianj Amazing accomplishment! Just crushed it!

[John Spears @johnbspears]

@peggy_blair Peggy, you do amazing work. Don't let the trolls take away from that.

[John Spears @johnbspears]

@chrishlad Agree. Your use of never is what put me off.

@london_chrisp They are cute if it is your lawn they're burrowing in.

Not sure if it is reassuring or not that disinformation campaigns have been in practice for so long.

The methods of dishonest arguments have not changed in 135 years. The 1885 book, "100 Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe" uses familiar tools: putting out too many lies for critics to refute (the “Gish Gallop”); partial quotes & non-existent "gotchas.” https://t.co/TFWSHQWpfh

@colinoflynn Great colour choice.

[John Spears @johnbspears]

@colinoflynn Are you going to do a resin fill or just a stain?

@scott_belton Now I need to guess your starter word.

[John Spears @johnbspears]

@AndreaCBarrack Risotto or turkey and mushroom orzo.

@stevemagness With all the data that garmin and strava have on athletes it boggles my mind how bad they are at offering training programs or predicting race times.

[John Spears @johnbspears]

I gotta say...the raps have the best hype videos!

The world of exercise and fitness is littered with so much nonsense. It's easy to get fooled by hype and fads. Let's sort through the mess.

Here’s what most people get wrong about fitness:

I don't want to talk about the 600 million dollars that was spent on an election to show our apathy towards our current uninspiring political leadership. Instead here is a safe shark interaction.
