After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.

Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I was at Burlington Coat Factory today, which used to be (30 years ago) a place where you could find the clothing equivalent of remaindered books: sometimes (at least 1 time in 4) you'd find something first-quality and name-brand, even if it wasn't in your size.

There's an otherwise prepossessing young man with heavy facial hair following his girlfriend around this bookstore. He's wearing a sweatshirt that says "[illegible] Your Feelings".

I've got a bad feeling about that.

I heard a recording today that seemed to someone trying to make a swinging version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".

You aren't Miss Fitzgerald, unknown-to-me male singer. And get that shining star away from me.

We know their dreams: enough
To know they dreamed, and are dead.
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them, 'til they died?

I think of one person from long ago, who saved my life, when I think of this. Excess of love bewildered him, 'til he died.

(Yes, I know the REAL subject of the poem!)
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

I'm angry at someone, very inconveniently.

My sister's cats are engaged in ritual combat this morning.

I've read fiction that was from a cat's POV, but I don't remember anything explaining the ritual, slow-motion combat!

"When you lie."
From a Two River Times article, at the age of 11, “I realized that political language is different than regular English,” she remembered, “and thought I had an innate understanding for it; the ins and outs of political language, when you say things you don’t really mean, obscure what you mean.”

"Fawn" responders aren't looking for "attaboy's." We're responding from a nervous-system-deep conviction that if we're not entertaining or accommodating, we'll be in danger of punishment or rejection-- & we come by that conviction through experience.

About 4 inches of snow outside, and there's a water break in our building. When the plumber makes it here, they will shut off the water for an indefinite period.

I was supposed to leave at noon and drive 50 miles, but I'm wondering if I should leave earlier or later.

Let's keep the momentum going, El only has 3 days before rent accrues late fees.
URGENT: Rent due TODAY! $345/$925 raised; late fees begin on Dec 5.
Thanks to you I'm over 1/3 of the way there. Your shares can help me close the gap. 💜

There is remarkably little food in my house. But I see that it's almost noon!

From what I’ve tasted of desire
I'd almost rather end in fire.
But when I guess at how we'll stop
I've seen enough of creeping crud
To say we'll grind down, trapped in slop
Instead of blood,
Or fire,
Or ice.

It's morning. Very blustery, as the term is. Snow in the air, storm doors rattling in their frames, a sound like something is rooting among the trash cans (though nothing is).
