Sometimes I Think about MC Skat Kat for no reason. He just pops in my head from time to time. I think we would get along. We’re nothing alike, but I hear opposites attract.
Book Club - All systems Red (Murderbot)
Last week, looking for something to watch while I ate a massive bowl of rice and vegetables (a new staple for me. I put a lot of soy sauce in it), I pressed play on the new Apple TV show, Murderbot. I watched the first three episodes and loved it. It’s a science fiction show with a premise that is, frankly, genius. It’s from the perspective of a security robot who has hacked its mind to become autonomous and unrestricted.
Started watching the Muderbot show on Apple TV… then started reading book… Murderbot is dope!
Had a good weekend.
I’m feeling a bit judged by carbon website checker, thingy, www.websitecarbon.com/website/d…
We need to start a movement to make it socially unacceptable to recount a dream you had to coworkers. It’s a literal waste of everyone’s time.
I wasn’t happy with my dandelion-utilitarian.com theme, so I decided to streamline it. I went with the most basic theme I could find, and I’m much happier now… for now.

I saw a comment earlier which said only AI uses em dashes, and this is a great way to spot AI generated text. Not true. Writers also use them. Don’t assume well written text is AI. That’s insulting.
Sometimes I think about iCarley for no reason.
Been working hard to eat properly for the last few weeks. I have nailed it according to my nutrition app. Though I have been craving pizza. It’s my birthday in the middle of June. Going to so so much that day. ☺️
My Casio had a big scratch right down the middle, and it was really bothering me. So, I “““accidentally”””" ended up buying an Apple Watch — the 46mm Series 10. It’s the nicest watch I’ve ever owned, and I’m genuinely pleased with it.
Life in Sips: A Memoir in Beverages
The delineating factor in the chapters of my life has often been tangentially linked to my beverages of choice.
On my first day of college—many, many years ago (1996, if you want to get personal)—I was a nerdy kid with very few skills, deeply self-conscious, and in deep denial about basically my entire personality. I had no idea what was cool, no social skills to speak of, and my main concern was not looking like an idiot. Pretty normal for a sixteen-year-old in the nineties.
I stood in line at the college canteen—a larger-than-expected room, filled with students who all looked more interesting and more at home than I felt.
The person in front of me (whose name I sadly can’t remember) was a long-haired guitar player who wore a lot of denim and talked fast. He was on the same IT course as me. His reason for enrolling? “Because computers are more interesting than music class."
Nameless Cool Kid ordered a bacon sandwich and a black coffee.
@DandelionUtilitarian I know it has a taste, but it depends what’s burning. If you’ve ever been followed by the smoke when sitting around a barbeque (braai) you know what fire tastes like… Distinctly of carbon and aromatic esters.
Be honest—have you ever wondered if fire has a taste? Not just heat, but an actual flavour? (Not saying eat fire, just a thought, not advice!)
Sherlock holmes. But creepy like. #art
My good friend Ozone interviewed an interesting person, for a Fediverse exclusive. You should watch it. video.firesidefedi.live/w/huevh4L…
Companies making staff change passwords every six weeks seems like encouraging them to write them down. Don’t understand the practice at all tbh. Seems like their practices discourage the purpose
