AI compass test results: “You are… THE WORRIER. Patron saint: Kelsey Piper. It's real, it's powerful, and that's exactly why it worries you — not in a doom way, in a 'we should really be more careful than we're being' way. You take the capabilities seriously and the risks seriously, and you'd like the conversation to be a few degrees more sober. Impact: +0.9; valence: -3.9

Today I found evidence that another #Antonioni and #MonicaVitti fan roams the same paths I walk.
Photography. Colour. A film still of Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Deserto Rosso” (Red Desert, 1964) is taped to a glass window. In the still, Monica Vitti is seen covering her face with a black shawl, while Richard Harris stares at her. Part of my reflection, and that of the street behind me, also can be seen on the window.

Occasionally (but often on Sundays), my cat receives a visit from another cat, which I suppose lives in one of the neighboring houses. Since she (?) waits outside in the cold, friends on my cat WhatsApp group named her Cathy (“let me in a-your window-oh-ho-owww!”)
