I was having dinner with friends the other week in an old mill building and one of them asked “how do you think we’ll repurpose all of the old data centers when we’re done with them?” and I think that’s a fascinating question

It’s such a monster

The duvet cover will eat anything - except for the goddamn duvet

I also just finished cleaning their room and the rabbits did indeed attack the broom

They both do it because of affinity and small differences! I once wrote an academic conference presentation that included the roomba riding chicken.

Put sheets in the dryer. The duvet cover ate a pillowcase, then the fitted sheet swallowed the duvet cover whole, and ate two more pillowcases

Software update tonight
Software update tonight Queen?

The rabbit attacks the broom for the same reason that the chicken rides the roomba.

People on Bluesky don't just scream "you suck!", they take up a crusade to inform the platform that you suck, & want to have you labeled as sucking, & want rules in place that sucking in the way you suck should be a capital offense, & tell you about all the sucking you do in reply to all your posts.

First day of wfh at the new home office, am perhaps understandably finding it hard to focus.

Oh I didn't know that! Over the holidays my listening goes from weird droney stuff to medieval chant music, twangy solstice, and tasteful xmas music covers. Glad to know that's overlooked lol

Dance like no one's watching. Play music as if the Spotify algo isn't listening.

Serendipity just reminded me that Ursula K. Le Guin’s book ‘The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader, and the Imagination,’ takes its title from this letter that Virginia Woolf wrote to Vita Sackville-West on March 1926.

A row of books I currently don’t know where to place, shelf space is at a premium here. They were published between 1902 and 1909, reincarnation, astral travel, Atlantis, interplanetary visitors, ghosts and hauntings and Marian apparitions. All written and recorded by women, except the red book.
