I’ve Finally Started Playing Deltarune!
Undertale is one of my favorite games, so this has been a long time coming.
The number “1225” seems to be significant for some reason, so I decided to take that as a sign to take a day off from my blog on the otherwise totally random date of 12/25–sorry for the short (negative) notice.
I hope you’re all enjoying the season of the Solstice, and looking forward to the new year.
Joy and health to you all!

GenAI Is Worse Than Soulless
Writing and art created by LLMs has taken us to a stretch of the uncanny valley so deep I’m starting to worry about ender dragons. It’s not just soulless, it’s worse than soulless, because it’s made to imitate having a soul but doesn’t quite make it.
Modern AIs have artificial souls. Substitute souls. They’re the astroturf of art; the margarine of human thought and creativity.
No wonder they’re literally driving people insane.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: put a stop to it!

The Golden Rule of Self-Care
When you’re suffering, drained, or otherwise in need, imagine your best friend going through the same struggle.
What would you do for them? How would you help? What advice would you give?
Then, do that for yourself. Because you deserve care, too.
“Care unto yourself as you would care unto others.”

She Likes Vehicles
My spouse: “Hey sweetie, you get to dress up as your favorite Christmas character for school tomorrow. What do you want to go as?”
My 8yo (confused): “Christmas character?”
Me: “Yeah, like Santa or the Grinch.”
Spouse: “Or you could dress like one of the characters from The Polar Express.”
(The Polar Express is the kids’ favorite Christmas movie)
8yo (thinking): “…I want to be the train.”
