🆕 on Karsh Writes: Sunday Asides #73 - https://karsh.weblog.lol/2025/12/sunday-asides-73
A medium close-up of a woman with medium-dark skin and long, dark, wavy hair, smiling subtly as she looks up and to her right at an older man whose back is partially visible in the foreground. She is wearing a low-cut top with a black and white zigzag pattern and a black cardigan. The man she is looking at has graying hair and is wearing a blue shirt. The background suggests an office or workspace, with dark file cabinets, bulletin boards, and another person visible and out of focus further back. The image is a still from a video, with the text "You're tempting fate, you know?" overlaid at the bottom. The overall mood is teasing or conversational, with bright, even lighting typical of a TV production set.

Weird that the BlueSky mobile app hit me with an Age Assurance warning. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

It says I haven't added my birthdate. (I have.)

I added in my birthdate, and it gave me an error: "Do not have authorization to set preferences: app.bsky.actor.defs#personalDetailsPref".

Starting the week off with having to do a system extensive test on my main computer because it's giving me error messages about the hard drive.

The computer boots up and operates just fine with no issues, so this is just a precaution. An annoyingly long precaution.

🆕 on Karsh Writes: Sunday Asides #72 - https://karsh.weblog.lol/2025/12/sunday-asides-72
A medium close-up of a man with dark brown skin, a neatly trimmed beard, and short, dark hair with waves. He is wearing a plain, light gray crewneck sweater and a simple gold chain necklace. He has a serious, somewhat concerned expression, looking intently off-camera to his left. A portion of a woman's body in a dark blue denim jacket is visible and out of focus in the right background, with a dark wooden wall behind her. The image is a still from a television show, utilizing soft, even lighting and conveying a concerned or attentive mood.
