I went to the toilet at 4am a few days ago, and bumped into Gideon coming back from a toilet trip. Apparently he just takes himself if he wakes up in the night. No idea how long this has been going on for!

(Sophia comes and gets me, for company.)

I'm possibly being dim here, but I can't see what "Recognising Palestine" does for the current humanitarian apocalypse.

(I'm not against it, but the government seem to be presenting it as somehow connected and I feel like I'm missing something.)

Talked to Sophia about Wicked. Apparently she kinda enjoyed it, but isn't a fan of revisionism and prefers The Wizard of Oz.

"The good people should stay good and the bad people should stay bad."

Right now (7:30am) it is 14 degrees outside.

It is 24 degrees in our bedroom, despite the windows being open all night. Humidity is 92%.

This afternoon it will rise to 26 degrees. I'm glad the office has air conditioning. I'm not looking forward to tonight.

When I am Emperor anyone selling bowls, plates, etc will have to certify whether you can microwave food in them without them getting hotter than the food.

Is microwave transparency really too much to ask?

Two weeks after seeing the CGI Lilo and Stitch at the cinema I'm watching the original with the kids. And it's so much better. The direction, the writing, the acting are all just much higher quality.

The remake felt much clumsier. And I don't really understand why.

Edit: Just realised that they entirely cut the Ugly Duckling part from the remake. Why would you do that? It's key to Stitch's arc!
And all of the bits where Lilo how to be like Elvis.

In fact, nearly all of the bits where Lilo talked to Stitch and built a relationship with him.

The weather is now nice enough that the kids are playing outside.
With the neighbour kids.
And then playing in the house with them.
So I'm hiding in my office from a bunch of a bunch of kids.
This makes me very happy.

(In related news I have ordered a bunch of water pistols and a water sprinkler.)

I got a 3 second phone call from unknown number, and robotic female voice said "I want to talk to you, add me on WhatsApp."

I worry about the kind of people who fall for something so transparently scammy.

Plot me a route to my destination, taking into account that I am *already* on a bus.

I'm suddenly curious whether comics-appreciation is even somewhat correlated with aphantasia.

(Thinking of someone from many years ago who said that they didn't like comics because they got in the way of their own imagination.)
