I know this looks like AI, but it's not. I took this photo on a back street in Tomari, Naha, Okinawa in 2013. This is by far the weirdest example I saw, but that island has lots of cats with the same phenotype: long hair, predominantly black with orange patches.

FEMA: Watch out for ice.
DHS: Why don't you go ahead and stop saying that.
DOT: Watch out for black ice.

Today I learned there was such a thing as a tai chi sword. That, and the utter bombardment of "tai chi walking" ads on YouTube, makes me wonder what the fuck people think tai chi is good for. Spoiler: joint pain, meditation, body awareness (proprioception). M'kay? MadMuscles & billionaires get bent.

We tried it. And it failed. Women must simply learn to take a seat.
God damn it, Canada! Not that kind of seat!!!

Facebook now looks just like an abandoned blog riddled by SQL-injection attacks. But the company that once powered Cambridge Analytica happily hosts this nightmare fuel. Effort & expense went into this and much more and I cannot imagine a reasonable explanation. For them or for Facebook's obeisance.

I've realized #ChatGPT is like asking a random person at an elite prep school, mid-semester. You'll get answered with real conviction, but it may be right for right reasons, right for the wrong reasons, wrong for the wrong reasons, or idiotic and it won't show its work. May your seeds guide you true

That said, mine is the generation that killed the English subjunctive. It survives today an anachronistic remnant; e.g. "If I were you...." My grandparents would have said, "Were it possible we would," or "Best it be done by noon," but me and my peeps killed that dead. So I expect no mercy.
A lot of otherwise very well-spoken, college-educated, native-English-speaking programmers on YouTube have started with "run / ran / have ran". As in, "I've already ran it" and "It must be ran as an administrator." It's like an icepick through my skull.

there's a point of social media where if you're not careful it's really really easy to float into a dreamland of your own construction
once you've got a big enough audience, anything you say attracts both a swarm of hateful maniacs and also a swarm of loving followers telling you you're a genius--

I have a good feeling about Count Chokula: Breaking Fast. I'm so pumped for the General Mills Cinematic Universe! Boo Berry has always been under-utilized. Heist movie + Lucky Leprechaun? Uh, sploosh?! And tell me to my face Trix Rabbit isn't ready to be the next Tyler Durden!

I just saw a YouTube video where a guy recommended rebooting your Windows computer regularly because leaving it running as long as *8 hours* could "harm your components." The comments were appropriate and unforgiving.
But I had to see. The uptime on my MacBook?
151 days.
I'm... not proud of that.
