I nearly made it to 2026 without a friend writing an email to me that was obviously written using Gmail's "Help me write this" AI.

我無法評選“2025 年最佳照片”，因為我根本還沒有看過下半年拍攝的任何照片。Can't really do a "Best of 2025" as I haven't even looked at any photos I took in the second half of the year.

Saw my book in the library of the university where I'm currently doing a master's program...I want to sign it with something encouraging any student who happens to check it out, but I'm not sure how the librarians would feel about that. Ask first, or just do it and hope I don't get caught?

During a recent magazine interview I was asked why I renounced my U.S. citizenship.
Like, at this point, do you really need to ask?
