Still thinking about the guy who showed us round the caves yesterday and the way he said, “Yesss!” in an emphatic, mysterious voice after every piece of information he imparted. “And this formation over here, it looks like a woolly mammoth. YESSS!” “Here you can see the algae is green, not grey. Why is this? It is because it is exposed to the shaft of natural light. YESSS!”

Hell yeah, submitted a question to the NYPL and got that unmistakable default Bootstrap confirmation alert. I love to see it.

I am finally watching The Beekeeper tonight and I’m honestly impressed with Jason Statham’s bee tending techniques. No lie, he’s being gentle with the (probably CGI’d) bees, using brushes and his knives and his centrifuge well. I bet he seriously tailed a a real beekeeper doing rounds at apiaries for a few days to learn it all.

The only part that feels off is his outfit: looks like he’s wearing a competitive fencing uniform, my beekeeper suit isn’t fitted or padded in any way like his.

1. my husband bringing me coffee

2. being a catbed for my two kittens (are they still kittens at 10 months?)

3. wrote a bit on a novel idea. I have no idea if I can turn it into something publishable, but it felt so good to get lost in a story again!

Drat. I can't convince MacOS 14 to change my default system font to this Unicode-ish extension of Topaz, the Amiga's default font.

Things I did today:

• escalated the minor Plumbing Crisis to the point of going down to the management company's office instead of just calling the apartment manager, now we have a new sink coming tomorrow

• played too much fucking Shapez

• poked the state bureaucracy and found out that my stupid name change is at the point where I just have to go to the courthouse and bring it to a judge and get it signed, FINALLY, now we can start discussing the marriage that this stupid state requires an in-state name change instead of accepting the one from Boston that Louisiana was perfectly fine giving me an ID based on, maybe this is a special bug exposed by me being born here and getting a name change elsewhere, then coming back and getting married, I dunno, but I started this process back in MAY 2023

• played way too much fucking Shapez

I have been spending the past month working (a lot) to relaunch my daily story recs as a newsletter with the demise of Twitter. Built up well over a month of recs to post.

But IDK which service to use. Obvs not Substack. 5x/week emails need to be affordable. Is this a thing? Any comments welcome

Just saw someone on reddit recommend “The 48 Laws Of Power”as a good book for junior devs and I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed more blatant career sabotage

Handsome Jack, our local tom. He’s mad at me because I shooed him from the bird feeder area so I’m getting some good stink eye 🙄 Happy #Caturday!

I grew up reading Heinlein novels too; the difference (I think) is that I learned (a) how to read critically and (b) that Heinlein loved to play fake-out mind games using unreliable narrators, to study ideological positions he didn't necessarily agree with but enjoyed playing with. Oh, and (c) he had some weird unexamined cognitive biases.

Crap, I am out of power because the tablet ran out of power and sucked most of the computer's power when I plugged it in for a while. Now I am at a cafe and there are plugs everywhere but for some reason the power brick is not in my laptop bag. Guess I'll have to figure out where it is when I go home.

@anthracite dies this look good? Kiddo is requesting it and I want to make sure I don’t get them a dud - seems suspiciously cheap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4RXFD8J?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_M6JVS6H7994SRK9S3XRB&language=en-US
