Last night in the artists dungeon, our quite lovely underground lodgings in St Germain. I love that French for basement is “San sol”.

Good morning from Paris St. Germaine

Learned a ton from this great team of #umassamherst undergrads who carried out original research on Ai-generated content on TikTok. We think TikTok doesn’t actually detect AI content very well, but we also don’t see a difference in how AI and non AI content perform.

Drew visiting New England Conservatory.

Drew is looking at music schools in Boston this spring break. I think the fact that there is a Tatte across the street from Berklee is a strong selling point.

I do wish Drew would stop dressing so conservatively all the time. You’re only young once - loosen up, kid.

My dear sister in law Cid Carroll works at Bonnie Lea horse farm in Williamstown MA. I joined her this morning for a couple of hours of mucking stalls, knowing the weather was likely to keep some folks away from work, and was rewarded with the chance to meet this day old foal and her understandably protective mom.

Long dog is long.

We had friends over for dinner last night. The centerpiece was in honor of our small black greyhound Jiminy, whose destructive skills are unmatched. The display features a Doc Martens boot he destroyed (one of three pairs he obliterated in a week) and an eggplant he mauled on the way home from the grocery store, necessitating another trip, sans dog, so I could make eggplant Parmesean. We adopted him from a group called Greyhound Options and I have been reminding him that he is, in fact, an optional greyhound.

Celebrating my birthday a day early with cake, bowling and a Tripod bowling league reunion!
