The recipient is a Canadian lady who came to appreciate Proper Chocolate while living in the UK. :D

On the plus side, Canadian relatives were very pleased to receive 1.75kg of proper Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate.

Also I have misplaced a baseball cap and a set of mildly fancy earplugs at some point during my travels and am kind of annoyed about that, but they're replaceable so I'll deal.

Still annoying.

Immediately dashed across the border to visit family in Canada for the next few days.

Canada's cellphone network oligopoly means my roaming plan doesn't work and data is stupidly expensive so I'm limited to WiFi for the duration. 🍁

Alt text:
A collage of four tweets from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) discussing concerns about artificial intelligence.

Top left tweet: Walsh warns that within a year or two, people will be able to create indistinguishable fake videos for defamation, and that nothing is being done to prevent this.
Bottom left tweet: He says AI will destroy jobs, art, reality, and civilization, yet no action is being taken to stop it.
Top right tweet: He criticizes AI-generated films as soulless and meaningless, saying art requires human expression and that AI will be the “death of art.”
Bottom right tweet: Walsh argues that if a robot paints a picture, the robot is the artist, not the person prompting it, because the robot lacks consciousness and meaning.

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

The writing was snappy, yeah! I was just kind of confused about how Bucky got to be a politician, he's not exactly a people person.

In-flight movies:

Mickey 17 was very good, Robert Pattinson is always fun and Mark Ruffalo in particular was having a great time.

Thunderbolts was OK, I've not been following MCU stuff since Endgame so I've no idea what's going on or who half of these characters are.
