I have never in my life been more confused than while trying to figure out what is and is not considered りょうり。
Is a salad prepared enough? What about specific salad, like a Caesar salad? Does it specifically need to be cooked with heat?
Learned that no dessert can be considered, even baked ones.

All You Need Is Kill was so good I immediately bought the light novel.
Excellent film, proof that you can have bright, colorful, cool art direction and production design and still tell stories with darker tone and content.

I saw god, flirted with god, came onto god, became a cleric, and got the final hit on the BBEG to save the world.
I did briefly die though. Good job, Ferris!

Zohran Mamdani is from the Sesame Street version of NYC, Curtis Sliwa is from the Hey Arnold version, and Eric Adams is from the Alienist version. I will not be explaining further.
Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

I have, multiple times, cut myself on cat food tins.
Never dog food, never tinned food for humans, only ever cat food.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.

Fig spoke to us 😭 I said “hey Fig!” and she did some little chirps, then got up to go to her bed where she feels safest and then I said “you talk!” and she did a very solid ‘mrow’ in response 😭😭😭
She’s learned how to purr too, I’m so proud of her.

I was given a slightly baffled look by Ewan McGregor when I burst into the kitchen area of a studio and asked for a cake server. In my defense he was in the kitchen on his laptop, and I was there for kitchen reasons.
Apparently he hung out in there for privacy.

They are having two very different experiences on their drugs.
In all fairness, Fig loves having a room to herself and she did get knee surgery. So.

This doesn’t make it better. In fact, I think it makes it worse.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

I’m gonna need places to start stating WHERE in LA they are right off the bat. I might go to DTLA but I’m not hauling to City of Industry.
At some point we gotta do away with just saying ‘LA’ when it covers so much area.

All our cats have ‘emotional support’ toys.
Ginko has his pink hedgehog dog toy.
Fig has her stuffed fruits.
And Maple has a 1997 Czech Republic 2 Koruny coin.
