Had to switch River's dry cat food a bit just now - same brand etc, just chicken instead of salmon.
Hand-fed him a bit while decanting some into canisters, and he's super keen.
Guessing he won't be complaining about the change after all. ^_^

On the one hand, I'm a bit peeved that my Kobo cover has finally lost structural integrity to the point where it's only marginally usable as a book stand now.
On the other hand, that's after 2,760 hours of reading. Guess I can't complain too much.

Good: comfortably beat a 1350-rated bot while playing as black.
Concern: the bot played at 350 level, I played at 1100.
Does this mean I'm only winning by taking it into weird parts of the phase space, or is this just showing the limits of the "played at X level" analysis?

Been following Ari for years now, and this is probably the single coolest video he's done. Fantastic.

Suddenly seeing a bunch of anti-abortion posts and ads. To be clear:
- The actual arguments against legal abortion are all lies.
- The people pushing this are just stirring shit before the election.
- They do not give a flying fuck about anyone's actual welfare or well-being. Fuck them.

My cat just gamboled past the window.
I mention this partly because it was utterly adorable, and partly because it's the first case I can recall where that has been precisely the right word to use.

Huntsman on the wall over my desk, probably a good 2m above desk level.
Cat quite keen to have a go at it.
Cat very likely to be disappointed.

Two of the most insane things from
Elon Musk on Twitter in the past day or so. Screenshots are mine, I took them a few minutes ago.
1. Let's put alleged "illegal aliens" in Guantanamo Bay.
2. Claims USAID funded bioweapons research including COVID-19.
