Sister invited me for dinner. She made Borscht und Pfannkuchen, based off Oma's recipe, which is one of my favourite meals
To paraphrase what Opa used to say:
If this is what us peasants have to eat, then I don't want to be a millionaire

My cat decided to wedge herself in the 30 cm gap between the piano and the half wall beside it, looking for something under the piano
So like a dutiful cat dad, I moved her out of there, moved the piano half a metre, shone a light under the piano, only to find... nothing. Nothing was there

Got a new percussion shaker so i've been tormenting the cat with it
She is not a fan, but she doesn't run and hide like she does when I grab the guitar

Reminded today of a Canadianism where we sometimes say "yeah, no, for sure"
I know something similar is in NZ English slang
But why do we say it? Why the affirmative before the negative followed by another affirmative?
Does this exist in other languages?

Relaxing on the couch with the cat lying on me after a long day at work, reminds me that the most important thing in life isn't money or my career...
It's her, her comfort, her safety, her food, her toys
Someone send help. She's holding me hostage and demanding everything!

Can't wait to hear about all the fraud cases being defended by "AI told me to input it that way"
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I'm financially ruined because I can't just steal from the grocery store and then resell the food at my farmer's market stall. Apparently, that's illegal for some reason
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Very happy that one of my best friends from university messaged me to say that her and her bf got engaged!
Super stoked that they're finally getting married after a number of years together. Her bf did tell me he was going to do it like six months ago though. Lol

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I'm going to write a song for my niece to dance ballet to. Based on the song I wrote for your wedding
Sister:
You wrote a song for my wedding?
I only remember you playing Pachelbel's Canon when I walked down the aisle
Me:

I played it when the bridesmaids walked down the aisle

Happy to see His Holiness doing this. I hope this brings about bigger change for the Church, and that they continue on their progressive path forward
Lots of work to do and a long ways to go, of course, but it's a promising start

Seeing the dancers in the latest Florence + the Machine videos gives me hope that one day, my niece can dance with them
She enjoys the acro and a bit of the macabre aesthetic. She'd have fun, i'm sure
