Each month we publish a newsletter listing the contents of the current giraffe.com with links to each section.
The newsletter is sent to a select group who have asked to be included. If you would like to receive it the day of publication,
simply email me at giraffe@giraffe.com. For those of you who do not get the newsletter immediately, here is a copy. Note: Any
product or link that I recommend is here because I have personally found it to be helpful. I receive no recompense of any kind,
but I suspect you already knew that.
This list is never sold, married, hypothecated, or otherwise shared with anyone, anytime. Like all of
Digital Giraffe, it is free, ad-free,
and welcomes visitors from all nations. Better than ozempic- no cookies here!
To the Friends of Giraffe
Our cover image is titled "I Am Male", with swirling ideas about gender, identity, species encroachment, what's inside and outside the frame of perception.
The Dorkville Polka issue.
Our Electronic Quill article is titled "Doin' the Dorkville Polka". It's not a game with an American League and a National League. The consumer is now beleaguered. Buy, bet, debt, spend. Hurry up! But is the dance turning deadly?
Our section called "Other Voices" includes eMusings (with AI news), yNot, Site of the Month, !Brazen Hussy, and Just Desserts.
eMusings: AI news and views, as frantic as ever:
law firms and hedge funds can now buy rather than rent their own AI; AI that remembers where you put things; detecting Alzheimer's disease risk from retinal photos; AI teaches stroke survivors how to walk; how or why algorithms reach conclusions is under scrutiny; an ultrasound wristband aims to teach algorithms better grasping; algorithms now make decisions and change strategies without human input; the world's first vaccine totally AI produced; secret strategies uncovered at Microsoft to get people addicted to the company's AI Scout assistant.
eMusings in art:
Jerry Ross Barrish turns trash into charming figures; Inci Eviner's power-packed drawings; DeKooning's drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago; Egyptian markings on papyrus at the British Museum; Karoliina Hellberg's signs and symbols; Gabriela Sincich marries the natural and feminine worlds using a laborious technique; Maruzio Cattelan's provocative/outrageous pieces; talented graduates at the Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design; a floating architectural marvel in Seville, Spain; eye-popping window displays for Dior.

Diversions for Difficult Times:
I am reading "What the Buddha Taught", Walpola Rahula, Grove Press, New York.
It's not streaming, but Mel Brooks' prescient "The Producers" can be listened to in full on Amazon music. We can only hope he is writing a sequel.
If you love tennis, you might enjoy "Wimbledon" om Prime Video. Mostly about achieving the mindset of a winner, with a touch of romance.
Geography lovers, just for fun, can play Map Tap.
For trivia buffs: 120 nations visited us in May, for a new one-month high. Largest number of hits came from Viet Nam, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, China, Japan, United Kingdom, and European Union.
To all of you: I do what I love and I love what I do. I hope you do too.
Warm regards from your Friend, the Giraffe
