For VidUKon's GPOY (here something like "show us a vid that is very you") Premiere, I vidded a city:

Kyoto.

The city of my memories, and the city (real and imagined) as it has been portrayed by animators across 22 different sources from various genres.

I got my Pass with Distinction AND I got some really good feedback on things to improve for my final paper, so I am a very happy student right now. 🌟 Ahhh learning is so much fun, and this was a brilliant challenge!
We're getting our seminar paper grades today and I am of course being completely normal about waiting for the notification and will not be at ALL crushed if I only get a pass... (There's Fail, Pass and Pass with Distinction).
I've turned it in! And at 963 words, too! (We were very much not allowed to go over 1000.) It's been a couple of decades since I had to do proper academic writing, and it was a really fun exercise, but yeah, that hard 1k limit really got in the way. So many arguments I didn't get to make!

Skuld is rudely accusing me of OVERTHINKING my 1000 word essay that I have been working on all day and am only halfway through. I have no idea what he could possibly mean! I am getting graded on this okay!! (The grades mean literally nothing; I am an adult studying a free* course for fun. AND YET.)

Rewatch makes me love Kim Do Gi's little pink bonnet EVEN MORE help it's so funny and he's having so much fun with the gang...!
#TaxiDriver2 4: Finally EVERYONE gets to play dress-up, and Kim Do Gi wears increasingly amazing farm hats!

This was a very silly episode and I was incredibly tickled by the whole thing. Just, again: the plan didn't have to include so much chaos, but it did! As far as I can tell, for the lulz.

I've seen lots of people on here getting very excited for Wong Kar-wai's new TV show, without realizing that there is a massive scandal surrounding it in China. Fortunately there's now some English language reporting on the subject: www.whatsonweibo.com/the-wong-kar...
The Wong Kar-wai Scandal Explained: The Dark Side of ‘Blossoms Shanghai’
Whenever reports surfaced about the harsh conditions on Wong Kar-wai’s sets, mainstream media and fans often brushed off his tyrannical habits as the quirks of a genius. This time, it feels different.

tech bro: i have made Artificial General Intelligence

programmer: you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Going slightly feral every time Kim Do Gi's energy shifts from soft-spoken introvert to apex predator. The way Lee Je Hoon MOVES...!! 🔥🔥🔥

I also really appreciate how he sometimes lets his inner chaos gremlin shine through in a little grin, despite his generally reserved manner.

Feeling TERRIFIED of making plans because 2025 had...a lot of surprises...? But also: I am so eager to travel further away from home than we can drive. I haven't been on a plane since 2019! Can 2026 be the year I leave this continent again? I would like that. (But again: lol, plans, how cute.)

We report when the dawn chorus is at its loudest, even over the morning traffic. All edges of the world are still blurry, whether it is from our sleep-filled eyes, or the simple fact of the dim light. It is chilly, and we are not all the way present, but we feel a little warm.

Have watched 21 eps of Joy of Life S2, and I am loving it! S1 wasn't always my cup of tea, but the tighter focus on Plots and Scheming now is like catnip to me. Fascinating characters - especially the Emperor, because I never have ANY idea what he's thinking, or even what his motivation is. #JoLS2

I grew up in a good but weird environment (think commune but Lutheran?), and did not know how people got jobs. It took a course at Folkuniversitetet to realize 1) librarian is a job and 2) *I* could get that job! I was 23. Enrolled in a LIS at 24. Got a librarian job at 37, after many sidetracks!

We report: if we find colours in the deep night sky, we have to wonder how many of them are of our imagination, with our mind gone soft and mushy in the darkness. There is rhythm in the pitter patter of rain and dew dripping from foliage, keeping us grounded despite it all.

It's too dark outside for too long each day to care that it isn't advent yet - we (well - mostly Skuld) put the outdoor lights up everywhere today and I love having them.

Still not over how many of my favorite tropes Taxi Driver fit into the last few episodes of season 1. There's more whump than you can shake a stick at! There's friends saving each other from peril! There's hostages! There's even a brief presumed dead leading up to one of my favorite fight scenes.

I am HOME home today. Yesterday I had to go back in to the hospital to get discharged (it took 4+ hours so Skuld's idea to watch Joy of Life on his laptop together was genius!). But and I won't have to be a patient at all - I can just be me! Pic from our drive to get freshly baked bread. #NayeHealth

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Love all, help all.

Rewatching Taxi Driver S1, and Baek Seong Mi is SUCH a satisfying villain! She's so incredibly sharp and competent, and so clearly revels in her amoral ways of getting what she wants from a world that didn't want to give her anything at all. I love the slow reveal of just how dangerous she is, too.
