I've never been so annoyed at a computer as I was just now, at a tiny Chrome popup offering to "help me write." Fuck off, robot. I'm dumb as hell and getting worse, but you'll have to pry language from my cold, dead, ink-stained hands.

The Small Cat knows that if she meows at me for long enough, I'll eventually figure out what she wants; turning the heated blanket back on, for example.

The Large Cat just knocks shit off surfaces until we meet her demands.

I am a prisoner in my own home, but the wardens are just *adorable.*

It's nice that TikTok is back, but if you use it, watch it carefully to see how it changes, and be ready to bail. All the people involved are *highly* transactional, so it's safe to assume some sort of deal was made, and it will almost certainly not be beneficial to users of the app.

"I'm sorry, they're all migrating to WHAT now? 'Red Book?!' Why does that sound familiar.... oh, shit."

Not sure if they're backing off due to backlash, or terrified that regular, working-class people might be communicating internationally without pre-planned oversight.

I've only been here a few days, but I've noticed that the Cat Tax appears to be encouraged, if not enforced. I am happy to contribute.
