Today’s Greek cats

A bold black & white street cat stands on the step of a restaurant entrance, knowing she’s not allowed in but peeking inside and signalling that she’d like some food please (it works and she gets some meat)

A friendly black & white street cat sits with her black tail wrapped in front of her white feet and looks up at the camera

A shy black street cat sniffs the index finger of a white hand, checking to see if the human is trustworthy (the human fed this same cat a large chunk of meat 5 minutes ago)

A shy black street cat graces the human holding out their index finger with a cheek rub, a real honour

This is not the branding I would go for I think if I was tasked with producing signage.

A sign in a menswear section that reads 100 years of fash at M&S, with the letters ‘ion’ below and to the right of the word fash.

Ugh. Hopefully this is it rebuilding the search index post-upgrade? Should go back to normal within like 24h, plugging it in’ll help (if you can). Or has it been way longer? Wish Apple explained this better than a tiny vague “optimising Siri” msg in Settings (which for them is still an improvement)

*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

I loved this bit: “This cat, they call it tilcayo. And when you ask, ‘Does it have some meaning in Quechua or Almyra and other Indigenous languages?’ they say, ‘No, my grandpa told me that’s the tilcayo,’” Nogales-Ascarrunz said.

I thought it did but wasn’t 100% sure either, checked & all 8 eps S1 dropped 4 Feb 2022. Def agree that they should trust the viewers more and think there’s a lot of truth to what you’re implying. We’ve all seen how fickle Amazon is, sadly they kill beloved shows all the time so I hope it does well!

Didn’t Reacher season 1 drop all at once? Maybe they think they’ve got to do the same and get people hooked before switching to weekly with S2?

Bought one of those cheap XTEInk e-readers (X4 Pro) and it’s quite cute/tiny, small enough to take anywhere. The CrossPoint firmware’s pretty functional, though managing an ebook library manually with Calibre is giving flashbacks of ripping CDs and typing in metadata by hand (it gets tedious fast)

Wednesday’s Bleeds is superb, tho from last year. (Pick Up That Knife gives me classic Pavement vibes.) Boards of Canada has a new album out, after 13 years, that’s great for getting stuff done to (it’s electronic tho). Big Thief continues to be phenomenal. Phoebe’s Lost Weekend deserves the acclaim
