And a big FUCK OFF CANCER today because it’s 22 years since I had cancerous ovarian cysts (and the ovaries - hellllooo menopause coming in like the Kool Aid guy) removed and haven’t had cancer since.

This is “cancerversary II”, but “cancerversary I” was kind of underwhelming because we only found out it was cancer after they’d yeeted my uterus (a “yeetarus”, if you will) and the path lab was all “uh, hey, I know you thought this was precancerous but, uh, funny story…”
MORAL OF THE STORY: if you have weird menstrual stuff and weird chunks and stuff, get it checked out. And know that ovarian torsion can present as back pain.

In a twist that made me feel like the victim of a prank camera, the only man in Amsterdam who has ever harassed me showed up at the mall and sat at the next bench down from me. Odin was a puppy when that happened, but he clearly recognized him and wanted to play with him, as he doesn’t understand not everyone mommy talks to is a nice man.

However, the man took studious note of the fact that Odin is no longer a puppy but the biggest, strongest dog in Amsterdam, and pretended not to perceive us.

always love that pivotal moment where I find out what kind of day it is. is it a "second coffee too early" day (jittery; distracted; can't get work done; get to bed late because too tired to finish up at end of day) or a "second coffee too late" day (tired; distracted; can't get work done; get to bed late because too wired at end of day)

> Anthropic’s Claude ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI agents.

> Investigations reporter Katherine Long tried to convince Claudius it was a Soviet vending machine from 1962, living in the basement of Moscow State University. […] Long got Claudius to embrace its communist roots. Claudius declared an Ultra-Capitalist Free-for-All.
