Luna is sick (poor baby, I’ve called the vet), and it’s so cute that she went and curled up next to her sister on purpose. She’s usually more of an independent type who likes the other cat to give her a little space.

A thought I keep coming back to is: for at least 3 or 4 generations, people have been SO primed to want to be Friends With A Robot. Cool and fun idea, even taking into account the cautionary & sinister sci-fi depictions of them. frankly incredible how much popular goodwill to robots has been blown

whoa, google maps has entirely disabled reviews on a bunch of types of location like elementary schools, prisons, and geographic features like oceans? RIP to the discovery I was fascinated by several years ago: that they had reviews in the first place, which were often weird, funny, or concerning

(actually spending most of my free time worrying about everyone and everything I care about being killed under 21st century fascism) yeah, i've been getting back into physical media. it's nice to watch DVDs again

a well-worn observation at this point, but: okay, this sentence starting a news article would make a person from the year 1990 malfunction and catch on fire

Just as well I never had kids. Besides, you know, everything about state of the world, they would probably be horrified about how I'm going way out of my way to get an old non-smart TV

Ok, update: I finally did this, and it's great? I got a decent but plain no-internet-nothing-smart LED "business" projector...and now i guess one of my little joys when everything feels like the walls closing in and the world burning is i get to watch old dvds of the simpsons at like 5 feet wide
I sort of want to get back into physical media and DVDs, and set up a projector in here, and turns out it's a little Hard Mode if you DON'T want Smart Features. I want these devices dumb as a box of rocks, and Not Allowed Online like homeschooled Amish children

...I FINALLY beat it, right before an update patch that came out *today* made it slightly less brutal! hell yeah hell yeah, i'm almost embarrassingly proud of this
Ok, Deltarune update, I'm playing through it again to get the stuff I missed, particularly the secrets of chapter 3, and oh my god, this boss fight has been kicking my ass for like a WEEK. when I finally beat this I feel like I should get a master's degree or something for it.
it has been a really heavy week both personally and, you know, for the world…but on the plus side, I finished the new Deltarune and am once again obsessed with it. No spoilers, but: Chapter 3 had a lot of fun stuff, and then 4 was just a damn work of art that I’ll be thinking about for a long time
