Toby update is he's back to the vets AGAIN on Tuesday for a blood recheck, due to elevated inflammatory markers found today.
We have anti-nausea meds for the weekend, and we have been informed about emergency vets yet again.
Adventuressss.

I spent 8 months waiting for an FOI from the NDIA on how they're using AI.
This is what I found.
Machine learning is used in developing draft plans for participants.
Robodebt concerns loom large over the Copilot trial, but staff reported favourably on it.

Waited to get the court docs before reporting on the high court challenge to the social media ban.
They reveal an injunction will be sought against esafety, the minister and the govt to stop enforcement. And one of the teens is turning 16 before the ban.

More seriously, looks like young people in Australia know how to read bona fide scientific research and are keen to exercise their internationally recognised human rights... Instead of silly abstinence, let's use science to make the internet an empowering place!

Had to drop Toby off at the vet after an emergency appt after he was sick today, he's there for fluids as he ended up super dehydrated with a mega-high heartrate so like...
Anyway, hopefully we can collect him at the end of the day.

Also, could do with some good stuff, no matter how small you think it might be, what's something good that's happened for you in the last few days? Can be the cool side of a pillow, something tasty, something huge, whatever works. :)

Tfw you sit down to write and suddenly get hit by a wave of tiredness like a 2x4 and you're like 'I don't get it what's going on' and then you remember the Everything of it all and you're like 'oh yeah' so you watch Critical Role and Angela comps and do cross-stitch instead while sleeping.

Ugh, my first Das Keyboard lasted like 12 years, the next one lasted 5 years. They do not make them like they used to :/
(I know keyboard talk is boring to most people but writing is my job, and gaming is a secondary interest. If I can't have a reliable keyboard I'm stuffed lol)

I can't believe this but I think I actually vastly prefer (and type faster with) MOA keycap profiles over the Cherry keycap profiles? Which is just weird? I don't really understand what that's about since I've always been on the Das Keyboard (at least in the last 15 years) Cherry profiles.
