If you see this, post an anime you love.

I did a running thing today. I know I’ve made an impression when multiple family & friends remind me to take my traditional pre-race scowl selfie. Thanks, folx.

Watching today’s sumo matches on TV, all I could focus on was one person in particular in the audience. Exquisite.

While I do love the word “enshittification”, I hate this. (From @wired.com ‘s Sept/Oct 2025 issue, p. 7).
Text reads, “Under Trump 2.0, rapid enshittification has become the organizing principle of US statecraft.”
