A small screenshot of Facebook's main menu, showing the usual "Meta AI" but under it there is a new "Manus AI." WTF is that?
WTF? This is a screenshot from my Facebook homepage, and... there are two AIs now? Why? WTFF?

Good morning... Will I get something done today? The drilling sounds like it's right next to my office (it's not, it's on the other side of the building) so it's quite unlikely (I can't imagine what it's like for teachers on the other side of the building).
To understand how frustrating it is [โฆ]

@tshirtman Only one person controls nuclear launches in the US. It's not a "they." It's a "he." He is crazy enough.
I have had a terrible feeling lately. The US will detonate a nuclear bomb soon. Possibly on Tehran.
My son just told me about the Titanoboa.
Why hadn't I heard about it before?

Mr Crow, very close to me, and a peanut on the ground.
Meanwhile, Ms Crow just landed on a branch above me and patiently waited for me to leave to come down and get her peanut. I took a picture of her, but I messed it up, so here is another pretty nice one of Mr Crow instead.
As far as the nest is concerned, I'm [โฆ]

Mr Crow approaching. He's looking at me looking at him.
When I went to the park, Mr and Ms Crow showed up (they were more or less hiding, but came out when they saw me) and peanuts were given. I'm still trying to have Mr Crow come as close as possible to me. First I left the peanuts on the other end of the bench [โฆ]

On the previous picture, you can tell they're really unhappy by the raised feathers on their heads (see how the tops of their heads seem "higher" than usual). More trouble happened a few minutes later, but on the other side of my house where I couldn't see.
As soon as I could, I went outside to [โฆ]
Mr and Ms Crow on a TV antenna and really unhappy (you can tell because the feathers on their heads are raised)
#CrowUpdate There was some trouble right in front of my house this morning. I'm not exactly sure what happened. The "South Crows" were there, Mr and Ms Crow were not happy. They did the thing I have only seen them do with cats before, that is land as close as [โฆ]

Read part five of my story "Is There Life On Mars?"
(if you missed the beginning or if you want to read it all at once as an e-book, there are links for both on top of this part)

@thias I suspect it's just some BS, just like the entire project was in the first place.
Don't mind me, I'm just rewatching Andor.

Are they trying to make me pro war or what?
Apparently, it's an oil tanker. Yikes. There are no leaks, but that doesn't mean there won't be any when they try to put it back into the sea.
This is my biggest fear for the Seto Inland Sea.

@Julianoe That was my first thought too.
Although, I do assume that in the past, they tried to avoid storms when they could, big ships nowadays probably don't care and just sail through them.

A #PokemonGo silly story. So, last summer in France, I left a Bulbasaur in a gym in the middle of nowhere (in the countryside, near my dad's home village). In a few days, it was going to be 200 days it had been there!!! (this is how much people play Pokรฉmon Go in my home area these days) Someone [โฆ]
I inquired with some islanders. So far so good (but they don't know much).
Now, here is the fun/weird part. The lighthouse festival is to be held this weekend. (there are some festivities on the island and it's the one day a year that the lighthouse is open to the public)
I guess I'll have to [โฆ]
Oh fuck. I just learned that a ship ran aground on Ogijima today, right next to the lighthouse. There is no pollution for now, but I don't know how they'll put it back in the water or remove or whatever.
Stay tuned for more information when I have some.

And yes, I still buy CDs, I like owning the music that I like instead of renting it from evil Tech Bros.
But once you're passed all of these hurdles, you find music I never expected to find in Japan. I brought back some David Bowie, Nick Cave, the Pogues and Depeche Mode CDs (the cheapest for 660 yen) and I need to go back for more, including Sonic Youth, Slowdive, Dinosaur Jr and who knows what [โฆ]
Well, you guessed it, this week, it's this record shop that set camp over there. I was there today and... OMG... Once you're past the mess that it is to find anything because everything is in katakana, when it's ordered alphabetically, you have to follow the Japanese logic (David Bowie is filed [โฆ]
Japan still surprises me at times. So, there's this used record store in town that I heard was good, but I had never been for no specific reason, beside the fact that I never really found my styles of music in a record store in Japan and when I did the prices were scary.
Well, if you don't go [โฆ]
I think my office building is the border between two crow territories, or something like this. And my office is on the other side from where it hangs out.
A crow on a ledge, looking at me.
The old #crow on campus. Well, I don't know if it's actually old, but his feathers are a mess (you can see it a little bit on the picture). It's always alone. Nowadays, as most students are away, he has all of the central plaza for itself. I took a picture of [โฆ]
