My library book has a perfumed smell from the previous reader, and I’m getting weirdly sentimental about the sensory connection to someone in my community that the library has created.
I blame hormones.

Saw a billboard on the highway that said, “You can hold it,” for a Buc-ee’s that was 92 miles away. That beaver has unrealistic expectations for the human bladder.

I swear to God, we still can’t get Daria (and several other 90s and 00s shows) on streaming or DVD with the original music because the licenses didn’t anticipate those formats and they’d have to pay for each song again, but we’re getting this shit?
All three major record labels — Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music — have reportedly licensed their works to a music AI streaming service

I’m so baffled by the idea that the James Bond franchise is hindered by a continuity dilemma, as if there’s a seamless flow of backstory from Dr No to No Time to Die. You’re telling me that Jeffrey Wright’s Felix Leiter is an amputee from being fed to sharks after his wedding in License to Kill?

Just saw a Google Gemini ad about a turkey booking a quick flight out of town for Thanksgiving. Because if anything is running smoothly right now it’s AI and air travel.

I have already planned what music I want to listen to on the subway when I’m next in NYC. Next will be what book I read. I miss usable public transportation so much.

It is chilly enough that I am drinking hot coffee. Rejoice.

October has been too hot, so I will not be relinquishing spooky season come November. In fact, it may just be a spooky new year, fuck it.
