Yeah C just texted me to say nukes about to go off in the ME. She and I clearly read different news. All I could find is that Star Trek Strange New Worlds is being renewed for a fifth and final season and the latest Murderbot episode is out.

Reading Ulysses inspired me to get off my arse and commit to writing my novel. Three years and almost 160,000 words later it’s almost done. One of the central characters early in the book is Dr Joyce Jamison. Many Ulysses references scattered thru it. But yes I doubt any publisher will like it.

One could probably argue all the rioting etc in the US right now has been inflamed by AI generated policies. But even that’s a long bow. The robodebt example is more aligned I think. But still that was human enforcement based on nonsense algorithms.

What was the internet’s first mass casualty event? Or the VCR’s? Does every technology need one?

I’ve grown quite used to this now.

More accurately selling mashups derived from copies of the contents of your house that I didn’t pay to see. In my defence I didn’t actually take anything. I’m not profiting off your stuff, just stuff in general of which your stuff is a tiny part, which I copped a look at. Also your door was open.

They are inviting you to never buy anything from Microsoft again.

My retirement plan is to scrape together whatever money I can and open a scifi bookshop by day and cocktail bar by night. I’ve even chosen a venue. I expect it will lose money but be a lot of fun.

Haha of course I saw a typo in that screen snap. Fixed. Actual draft 19 now done. For reals.

In the novel I’m writing each chapter is a song title so I’ve made a mix tape of the chapters. music.apple.com/au/playlist/...

I don’t know why you promote these dreadful people. Ignore them and they’ll go away.

It’s missing the Mishima cow. The most delicious of cows.

Surely tariffs are only for imports tho. No tariffs on local produce.

That’s a lot of “could’ve”. That money also could’ve been given to me. Or you. Or set on fire to make a student film. You gonna be sad for us and the unmade film too? Don’t waste emotion on things that could’ve happened. Realistically no one is giving either of us squat. No could’ve about it.

All this talk of half and half and milk makes me want to make moussaka.

Upside when I buy a litre of milk it’s labelled ‘milk’ (at least the hand written sign next to where I fill my bottle is labelled ‘milk’, the bottles have no labels) and came from actual cows. It’s super creamy too which is delicious.

Where I live “half and half” means 50% minced pork and 50% minced beef.

Enjoying it so far. I guess I need to wait for season 2 for ART to appear tho. My fave character of the series.

I’ve not had any Adobe software for well over a decade. I’m sure it’s very clever and all but PixelmatorPro does everything I need and cost a one-off couple of hundred bucks IIRC. Ditto Microsoft. I’ve got VS code installed but that’s my only MS product. Pages is a brilliant word processor and free.
