With two episodes left I'm genuinely surprised at how much I'm liking it, it's so much more focused and coherent than the previous adaptations of the same story
"the ancients loved putting crossbows into corpses," oh DMBJ, never change (am watching this fall's Time Raiders series)

Got a misdirected email meant for a name twin
Replied politely to say I'm not the one they're after

Once again, Bringing Up Baby was a hit with the first years. This year the seminar group commented on how fresh it felt, mostly in how it upended their expectations about "old movies" being dull, but also how they could see its chaos and playfulness in later romcoms 🎉

I managed to hold today clear for research, but didn't plan what that might mean, so instead I'm listening to the new purity ring album and folding laundry while trying to decide how to focus on any of the things I should've wrapped up back in September

this week i remembered that we got a new DMBJ series, and while it's baby (young adult) Wu Xie on his first tomb raid, they've also surrounded him with proper adults and aren't trying to convince me he's a special boy, so I'm having a good time after 4 eps

Sunday slightly derailed by finding a missed increase in my cardigan (raglan, top-down, inches away from dividing for sleeves, iykyk) and then spending ages tearing back the four and a half rows to get it right
All my energy and motivation, sucked into one unexpected task 😅

Never have. Never will. Not interested in going anywhere *near* a crap app built out of countless millions of hard-won words stolen from my colleagues, the use of which will (bonus!) begin progressively to degrade my cognitive skills and blunt the edge of the tool I’ve spent half a century honing. 🤨
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.
