I've been listening to Japanese music recently to help with my language studies and I love some of the bands names. Listening to jangly pop and light rock music from bands called "ogre you asshole" and "mass of the fermenting dregs"

Yeah, no thanks
A Waterstones bookshop synopsis which reads: "Inspired by - and written with the aid of - an Al chatbot, Rie Qudan's strikingly original novel sees an acclaimed architect riven with self-doubt turn increasingly to the vexed comforts of artifical intelligence."

Inventing data transmission back through time so I can recommend bands to my teenage self that I missed out on at the time (because music back then wasn't instant access to a bottomless digital well, but a little shop in a city a forty minute bus ride away)

This was my cat's (may he Rest In Purrs) favourite bird. He'd sit at the kitchen window and chatter at them as they danced about on a wire outside. Thing is, I think they enjoyed it too, because after he passed away we never saw those birds on that wire again.

Shut up, Spotify. Everyone knows there are only seven genres, and that's only if you count country and western as two.
According to Spotify, I have listened to 383 genres this year.

This cat has the coolest sweater on the block 🎨🌱

My #ArtAdventCalendar image for day 2 is based on Mara's (@thecatfreaky.bsky.social) amazing sweater design quoted below 💛

#catsky #artyear #cuteart #art #illustration
A digital drawing of a grey cat in a colorful color blocked sweater in yellow, pink, blue, red and petrol. The cat has a big smile on it's face and a flower on its head. Flowers are coming out of the sweaters front pocked and a blue bird is sitting on the cats left ear. The sweater pictured in this image has been designed and made by Mara and I loved it so much that I wanted to draw it.

This week, I've been playing Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town: Unnecessarily Long Title. It's a Stardew Valley / Harvest Moon affair, so you can wander around talking to the villagers so they like you better. It's a simple system so can feel pretty weird after a while.
