Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Today I listened to the radio, learned about an exhibition at the art gallery, met with a colleague and talked about stuff, got a book recommendation, checked it out of the university library, and got @sarahlibrarina.bsky.social ‘s phone fixed. Now a beer at Woof!. It is a good day.
