Between my new haircut and wearing my glasses while working my tush off on this never ending deadline. I'm beginning to look more and more like Otacon as the days go by.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

three panel webcomic 1st panel: one man says to another "we invented a robot that answers questions" 2nd panel: he continues "we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day" 3rd panel: the other man asks "but it answers the questions correctly?" and the first man replies "oh my goodness, no. no no no no no."

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future.

When my cat Persimmon stares into space for no reason, we tell her, "Simmony, go get that ghost! Go get 'em."

Yes! I need for the series to do well enough to get to the new books! I got editions in Chinese but it's destroying my brain trying to read them with my third grade level Chinese haha. I lowkey wish they would continue with the anime~

The Twelve Kingdoms is my Roman Empire 🥺💖 If there’s one show I would rewatch every year. (A good translation of the novels are finally being released after all this time! I’m so excited!) The OST is so good! 😭

Rewatching The Twelve Kingdoms, confirming it still slaps, marveling at three 16-year-old female MCs changing the world with nary a romantic subplot among them, and also, y'know, just having a feeling about watching the Wa Province arc in 2026.

I just finished the first season and this is literally me 😭 (I need a break before I delve into the second one.)

I'm so upset I can't do it myself, I sound like Yoda lol

Yesterday was our twelfth wedding anniversary. I remembered why I married her, I was charmed by her Yoshi voices!

Migraines, why do we have them?

I can't sing enough praises about Oh No! Here Comes Trouble. Hands down one of the best dramas I've watched in recent memory; writing is water tight with great characters and moments. I think about that ending sequence all the time. If I can write something like this I've peaked.

Still working on this!

I just found out that my wife doesn't like the smell of gasoline, and I love the smell of gasoline. How are we married for almost 12 years?

Still making my way through the first draft~ Almost at the end of act one! #onelinewed #WIPWednesday
