Three months after buying this cat bed, one of the cats has finally decided to investigate.

I am terrible at remembering names. I tell people this when I meet them. But there is a joy in re-meeting someone and remembering when and where we met.

That sucks. It is truly evil what that man did.

I don't own a copy yet, but a friend found it for me in the Cambridge University Press shop in Cambridge.

My first monograph in a bookstore being held up in a window with Cambridge University building in the background.

“When you open it, the cutesy avatar asks for a name. Then it asks for total control of your Gmail, calendar and entire computer if you're on a Mac.” Nope.

I heard basically the same thing in Pakistan.

Yeah. I would always prefer to not see a film on my own.

Meh. It seems like one scene is mildly controversial. Have you read any of Lawrence Wright’s reporting on Scientology? It’s grim and Cruise is in deep. Like an army of sycophants washing his motorcycles and living in poverty deep.

Honestly, I just came across it and it seemed interesting. I have no grand plans for it other than scanning and reading!

I have been told this before. I just can’t get past his weird Scientology to suspend my disbelief.

I do remember a year or so asking “they made how many Mission Impossible movies?!” Never seen one.

I am pleased to say I have not seen a Tim Cruise movie in nearly 20 years. Forgot about him until this morning when I read a zillion headlines about how garbage his new movie is and how hard it bombed. Some poor Sea Org member is getting punished tonight.

Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Which my brother decided I was OK to watch at 5.

We don’t do the Daily Mail, but as a public service, here is someone with far too much money being attacked by an owl.

Princess Beatrice's friend Alice Naylor-Leyland is attacked by rogue owl during chaotic photoshoot.

I got my luggage back today. Apparently they had some 10,000 pieces stranded at the airport and had to call in the military to sort it.

I didn’t listen to a cat once. I should have. He knew that guy sucked.

Then it should be used very specifically for specific jobs, with strict guardrails, and not propping up our entire economy, and being forced into everything. The same way I don’t need to know how to use, say, software for dental offices, or a forklift, most people don’t need AI.

Someone recently told me: at least you can criticize your government. Can I? I’m not so sure.

I gave my students in-class time to work on their group projects and they got some good progress done!

What Gen X expat music will be at Clockenflap this year? I’m hoping for The Cure and a student told me he’s hearing The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Just got a notice from my bank reminding me not to put my financial information (like usernames and passwords) into AI. Which, of course, means people are doing just that.

I did! I am happy about it. There is food and beer and I got a little sleep earlier.

I am flabbergasted at how many people inside the Bangkok airport have zero idea about the natural disaster right outside.

Amir and I are boarded! Only 10.5 hours since I got here.

There is a man singing to his friends. He has a great voice. If I’m going to be outside an airport all night (thanks climate change) this one is pretty fun.

Hell yes! I just watched a forklift pick up a car and drive off with it. Strict parking time limit.

I’m at departures though I may never leave due to Bangkok flooding. Compared to Delhi or Kathmandu, this is great. I’ve been outside for four hours watching families just hang out.

I also like that when anyone over the age of 12 talks to me, they call me sir.

I've talked to a few journal editors who are concerned about similar problems re: anonymous reviewers. If a peer reviewer wants a little help & feeds your unpublished submission into an AI system, they've just shared your proprietary work & broken confidentiality. A nightmare to think about

Two things about the Lahore airport: The departure board is one of those old school thinks that flips, which is rad. Compared to other South Asian airports, this one is actually pleasant and calm outside.

Is Starbucks a morally upright company? No. But, to be fair, is the coffee nice? Also absolutely no.
