I just love the hikaru no go sorry so, so much, and the cdrama is a really amazing live action adaptation. I just finished rewatching it and I'm so full of love for this series

I'm eating at the slightly-too-fancy restaurant in my hotel tonight. I decided on three things I'd order for sure, and one appetizer I wasn't sure about. but the waitress walked away after I told her the three things so I guess that means it's enough for one person.

Incredible story of tracking down the real human behind AI slop stories, by @nickhunebrown.bsky.social
"I was embarrassed. I had been naively operating with a pre-ChatGPT mindset, still assuming a pitch’s ideas and prose were actually connected to the person who sent it"

Stunning investigation of how slop merchants are getting work into established media outlets

I've been wearing new shoes recently and my right heel has a little sore spot but it's not bad.

except, tonight I got my left foot caught in the gate to my compound and it scraped the shit out of my heel. I don't think I own a pair of shoes that won't rub on, it unless I wear sandals in november

now that the weather is regularly under 20° we're finally out of the season where nora want to just sit out in the yard while I sweat. unfortunately we're now into mandatory evening "walk" season, aka sit in the bushes in front of the building for a while

it's under 20 degrees! yes it's night time, but this is still exciting. I'm celebrating with long pants, hot tea, and a candle
October 20, 2025 at 1:16 PM
there's a massive thunderstorm happening tonight and poor nora can't escape the sound in any room

my laptop screensaver shows random photos from my 'travel' folder, but I kind of forgot because I haven't seen it turn on for a really long time. today it came up while a couple friends were over and I played my favourite game, "try to remember where the photo is from before it disappears"
