Morning in Ishinomaki. An Oyama-type doll arrives at work, as ever ahead of everyone. She runs this office, and her commute is thankfully not very long-- just down the road and around the base of the hill-- and the morning air today is, like the office on her arrival, perfectly still. #DollsOfMiyagi

Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.

The press that published my books has gone under and I'm still short on regular monthly income thanks to Patreon cancellations. To keep up with living costs, I'm aiming to get to a total of $1500/month-- now $380 away. Subscribe to support my work via komaneko.gay

my late doctoral advisor, teaching about Takahashi Korekiyo's financial policies that pulled Japan out of the Depression quicker, said that he prioritized the everyday people because "you can't eat a battleship." This is a post about people whinging over NYC taxpayer funded grocery stores.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains
By: Ray Bradbury

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!
In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two
cool glasses of milk.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake.
"Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."
