Spied a car with the custom MN plates that said "Pikachu" and it WASN'T a yellow car and not even an electric car at that! Missed opportunity for some whimsy I say.

Found this letter from my dearly departed grandmother. She was so lovely, her birthday is coming up in a week. It looks like she gave me an early gift this year.

“As the orvids darted about the arid sky, circling the soon to be carrion. The infection continues to bloom in every living creature and it reeks of spiced honey.”

Pro tip: You technically do not need to spend money on food at the Minnesota state fair. Plenty of Sweet Martha’s cookies to scrape off the road all around the fair campus.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Labubu is just the illicit love child of a Monchhichi and that creature from Where the Wild Things Are.
