Went to bed an hour ago (~8:15pm) to listen to music and lounge around and snooze a little. Waiting for my second wind to kick in!

Guys, I'm still waiting. 🥴

I don’t know if this is hate but no one should be able to make Studio Ghibli style animation with Ai except for Studio Ghibli

It's been a tough few years for MacStories.

An explanation of why we resumed posting on X, and what comes next:

I like the learning philosophy described here. I'd summarize it this way:

• If you want to learn something like martial arts, you need to be able to be calm in class, because being stressed makes learning harder, and the way the instructor runs the class has a huge impact on that.
• It helps a ton to be able to experience the class as play, as a fun time, and especially not as something that will trigger trauma responses in you or your fellow students.
• And finally it's key to recognize those fellow students as your partners in learning, not as competitors or opponents, but as people you want to help and who want to help you.

These points are key parts of why I've been enjoying the aikido class I've been in for the last year (and recently successfully tested for my first rank!), but I think lots of training can benefit from the same principles.

@flavigula This is my translation of the missing passage:

"When I'm looking at the snow, I somehow always think of sleep"
"... sleep?" After a brief silence, he repeated just that little word.
"Yes, odd, isn't it?"
"No, not at all," he said.
"It's not a very deep and complicated thought, just something plain and common. A thought that looks like a piece of half-eaten shortcake that someone left in the kitchen."
"..."

I put the funnel to my ear but no reply came, so I moved it again to my mouth.

"I put the shortcake in front of me and consider. Shall I eat it? Shall I throw it in the bin? Shall I feed it to the dog? When I'm looking at the snow, the image of me pondering like that in the kitchen floats up in my mind, suddenly and without any logical reason. The cake is of course completely covered in snow-white whipped cream. After staring fixedly at the snow for a while, before I realise it, the thought of shortcake has changed into the thought of sleep. That _is_ odd, isn't it?"
"It's not that odd, you know. That's what's called the workings of the mind. No matter how riddled with holes your mind is, you can still imagine things, can't you?"
"Crumbs of the spongecake, grains of powder sugar, the fork sticky with cream and all, gradually turn into a sleep-like dining table. I don't mean it's making me sleepy. It's the outline of sleep coming into existence. I'm still pondering: shall I take the sleep and put it in my mouth? Shall I throw it in the bin? Feed it to the dog?"
"So, what do you do then?"
"I don't know. I'm just pondering. I feel like I want to touch the cake and swallow it and go on somewhere deep into sleep, but I am also afraid because I think there might be no return from that place. The only thing I am certain of is that there is a leftover, half-eaten piece of shortcake beyond the snow."

Je le répète : Facebook, Instagram, TikTok ou X ne sont *PAS* des réseaux sociaux.
Ce sont des *MÉDIAS* sociaux: Ils ont un algorithme qui fait un choix éditorial de vous présenter des choses auxquelles vous n'êtes pas abonnés. Et ils sont tous là pour gagner énormément de fric en vendant votre attention. C'est ÇA, la source de la toxicité: L'économie de l'attention.

Excuse me nectarine tree, you do realise it’s still winter yeah?

I guess they're going to take the bourbon back off the shelves. #ElbowsUp #ElbowsWayUp
