Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

What GenAI has revealed to me is that I have been playing my life on hard mode, that is, actually having respect enough for myself and other people to care whether what I do is standing on a firm foundation of my own work and understanding.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
