I love that September had basically admitted that yes, ok, it’s fall now, but October rolled up like, “ok, but what if a few 90° days tho?”

Whoever is responsible for this at Blizzard, I just thought you should know that I love you.

Back to considering a move - should I go to NorthSky or BlackSky, friends? Or is there another you'd recommend that I shouldn't be overlooking?

One of the worst things about being sick is that my cat is afraid of… coughing.

Apparently I woke up today and decided I wasn't on enough "AI hater" and "AI apologist" block lists.

The thing that makes me absolutely underpants-on-head about 'AI' is that I think the ability to use computers to evaluate and integrate massive amounts of data is fucking awesome! I think there's so much useful work we can do in so many areas! I don't hate it! 1/3

Good night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.

If you want to know more about the player base in Forever, I just won general chat in a conversation about how HR is not there to protect you, it is there to protect the company:

Screenshot of text chat box from WoW Forever:
[1. General - Zephras Isle] [Avielle Quaternions]: HR can be a useful tool, but in the same way as like... uh... Xal'atath the blade was for s priests
[1. General - Zephras Isle] [Vika Starcrest]: acab also includes leon kennedy </3
[1. General - Zephras Isle] [Gisele Galeshot]: not the worst comparison i've ever heard, Imao
[1. General - Zephras Isle] [Quillindor Featherwind]: Avielle Quaternions wins, no more responses needed, thats sums them up perfectly

I’m delighted by the excitement around WoW Forever, and I definitely see the appeal, but playing the beta is a constant mental litany of “I wish this had <relevant mainline QoL improvement>” I like the pace and storytelling, but actually playing my character feels better to me in mainline wow. 1/3

Listening to the perfectly normal training ops overhead in the daylight is only making the unusual scramble this morning feel weirder.

Still super duper under the weather, but made it out to the porch. Scottie is very pleased.

Nothing like low flying, tightly clustered jet noise at an abnormal hour waking you up to really fuck up your going-back-to-sleep about it. Especially when you get a second set 45 minutes later.

Why do I feel like only the left side of my head has a cold? That seems unusually bifurcated.

Alanna couldn't remember a word for a minute there and told me that something was "essential for a healthy plant... uh... economy?" Does this make @acerbicotter.bsky.social an economist?

In other news, perhaps due to dreadful sleep, my back is killing me this morning. Excellent timing, we definitely don’t have setup for a big event tomorrow, nosireee.

Why, cat, why must you desperately need affection an hour before the alarm goes off, then scarper for what should be the allowable drowsy snooze time that would be perfect for cuddles? And THEN, why do you return just when I really do have to get up? Do you hate sleep? Enjoy complaining? Why?!

We only have two cats, I don’t know how they always manage to look like more cats when they’re lurking in the hall.

There was a question going around a while ago about when you think of summer as having ended and I wasn’t really able to put my finger on a specific day, but I walked outside today and knew it to be that day. Which is pretty funny, tbh, it turning out to basically be the equinox after all.

I know I have some other Swiftie friends who would probably get down with this sick… train of thought?

I just want to know which one of you knew about this and didn't tell me. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

I can’t do anything immediate about The Horrors, The Future or my wife’s chronic pain, but what I CAN do is clean up the house, so I’m going to do that. Sending my love to you all, dear pocket friends!

The problem with trying to sleep off stomach upset during the day is that then sleep just does not work properly overnight.

Small scared cat has finally gotten up the nerve to climb up on the recliner to get to me. She stabbed me for a while and then curled up and shoved her head into my elbow. She’s 5, we’ve had her since she was 8 wks, she’s always been afraid of everything. I could cry, I’m so happy she feels safe.

The firmer mattress does seem to be a welcome change, so now I’m researching mattresses, obviously. Wonder if I’ll get any cats at all tonight. Last night I didn’t even get bedtime cat.

Hey, tell me something good that happened today! I'm very pleased to have fixed a speaker that wasn't hooked up. I was sure it was one of three unmarked cables my colleagues ran, but I was deceived. It was one that was labelled WRONG! 😆

My ankle hurts today. I did nothing to it, other than existing, of course, I am aware that was rude. I was just walking around the house last night, fine, fine, fine, ow. Tomorrow is a Much Running Around day at work, so I’m hoping this is a transient quirk.

Sleeping alone tonight- I think our mattress is exacerbating my wife’s back pain so I encouraged her to sleep on the much firmer guest bed to see if that helps at all. And NO CATS have come to save me. Ingrates! (The dog is here, but sleeping in the closet because I guess beds are for suckers?)

Alanna is a very calm back sleeper. I am a very fidgety side/stomach sleeper. Why does this goober think sleeping between MY legs is the play?

I usually find emails from our it security guy at work annoying at best. (Pushy, mildly condescending, excessive use of rich text in unhelpful ways.) but today’s scolding about use of AI was pretty good, I must say.

I’m enjoying the all-afternoon power problem today! 🙄 Back-to-back power surges knocked out all the AV exhibits & films, and as soon as I went to the bathroom after fixing everything, another! Running around a second time now, if it happens a third time, I’m giving up and going home!

Does everyone have a regular bathroom stall? (Assuming you repeatedly use the bathroom in the same public place, of course.) I just walked into the bathroom behind a woman and she TOOK MY STALL. The gall!

What is your regular grammatical or communications crime? Mine is that I *frequently* leave open parenthesis, which, ironically, drives me UP THE WALL when other people do it. I just get going and forget I was IN a parenthetical!
