My aunt's cat intersperses his requests for pets with the occasional hiss, just to throw me off.

I use copilot to help me rapidly prototype code for my job. Also mess around with ChatGPT a bit. It's very useful in domains of knowledge where I have a well developed bullshit detector, but as a cautionary tale, it recently had me believing my aunt's medical condition was a lot better than it was.

Just started reading "There is no anti-memetics" division. Great book so far! It's got some Doctor Who vibes to it.

I want to know who created the policy that allows/requires ICE agents to wear masks.

I just saw Bovino referred to as the Butcher of Minneapolis, which is apt, but I'm worried it draws attention away from Noem and other top admin officials who also have blood on their hands. I do like the concept though.

A coffee shop where I used to live made a delicious honey lavender latte. I just was able to successfully recreate the experience at home by sprinkling a few lavender buds in with the espresso before tamping.

Today I learned that the actor playing the Celestial Toymaker in the original Doctor Who serial was the same guy, Michael Gough, who played Alfred the Butler in several Batman movies.

Pitiful. The original photo didn't serve there propagandistic aims, so they silently altered it.

JD Vance calls protesting against armed thugs "cowardly." Protesters are being beaten, shot, killed. "Cowardly" is an insanely inappropriate word.

4.9 earthquake out by the Salron Sea. Felt the house here in Escondido shudder for a brief second.

Trump is linking his pursuit of Greenland to a personal snub by the Nobel committee. Are there insufficiently many congresspeople alarmed that the president is openly making foreign policy about himself and his own personal grievances and not about the good of the country?

Reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I'm instantly hooked. Same author as Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Very different style but equally awesome.
