"You have found my darkest secret," the dragon said. "You can never reveal it."
"I will not," said the knight, "but why is it such a horrible secret?"
"It's my one vulnerability."
"This?"
The knight scritched between the dragon's horns.
"Mmm," it purred.
"This is nice."
"Mrrmrm."
@Darkhorse WinterWolf πͺπΊ I just thought to turn off wifi on my phone and tried it from there over mobile internet (should have thought to try that before)β¦ and it worked. Then connected to wifi againβ¦ and it still worked. Still doesn't work on my laptop on wifi. I wonder if they just don't like desktop firefox! Oh well, done now. Thanks.
For some reason at first they showed my bike as uninsured, then when I tried again it showed up as insured. That inspires confidence. π

The terms "Super Hero" and "Super Heroes" have entered the public domain. Previously, these were trademarks jointly owned by Marvel and DC.
I saw The Wild Robot last night, and rarely has a film ever felt so close to my heart.
So much beauty and sweetness, but well balanced with some dark wit and mortality themes. It all blends so poignantly, and so many times during the movie I just felt so profoundly in love with it.
Also havenβt cried this much in a long time, but if that sounds like a warning or a negative, it isnβt. This movie couldnβt have come at a better time, and I hope it makes a billion because it should.
As I've been meaning to post for a few days now:
Aw. :(
(I was really getting into that, catching up on it every day, was even planning to do an audiobook-like reading of it. Oh well. :/)
Hey readers, thanks for joining me on this journey, but I'm going to terminate it here. My goal was to write a minimum 500 words a day every day WITHOUT EXCEPTION, proving to myself I could be consistent. (...)Royal Road

You know how we have Torment Nexus at home? Well it seems to be the same torment nexus, it's just pretending to be a TV.
X use has been plunging, dropping and then plunging some more in both the US and UK since May 2023. No suprise there, but good to see it quantified.
If May 2033 = 100, then UK users now down to below 70.

#Musk typing his rightwing political opinions about inciting civil war whilst (allegedly) in a ketamine haze have been noted and the grown ups have left the building.
Protip: If you live in an area with mosquito-borne diseases, fursuits provide a thick barrier of fur between you and the biting insects. Wear your fursuit outside as PPE!
So the U.S. government is considering banning certain parts for connected cars, (which is virtually all cars now,) from Russia and China because they don't want them to have the ability to use cars sold in the U.S. for spying purposes.
Maybe if we didn't let our car makers turn our cars into spyware on wheels this wouldn't be an issue eh? Anyone ever think of that?
How can you read this!? There's no pictures!
Little concerned wah on acrylics over a super boring book about politics.
Long story short: I had ordered a book on Amazon and I received a completely different one, when I claimed for the mistake, they refunded me instead, not even asking for the mistaken book back. I quickly researched how much it was that book worth, it was only 14mxn (less than $1usd), so I had on my hands a boring book that I was not going to read it and I couldn't sell it back, so I decided to turn it in an art piece.
It may be exhibited at the MFF Art Show.
"And a princess' kiss will lift your curse and turn you back into a prince?" the princess said, bending down.
"No," the frog sighed. "I'm a milkmaid."
The princess paused. "Er... I'll get my brother."
"Is he a princess?"
The princess bent down again. "If it's for a good cause..."
Last Thursday night I got home (to the new house, having visited the old house) really late, actually so late it was Friday morning. 2:30am, to be precise. The motorcycle ride back was annoying because I had a lot of trouble keeping my visor clear enough to see where I was going. I had to stop and clean everything half way and it wasn't obvious whether it was my glasses steaming up, visor steaming up, pinlock coming away from the visor and steaming up between the two, or just damp on the outside of the visor! In the end it was probably a combo of all those.
Once I got back and took my helmet off I could see just how wet the air is - I even got this bit of video clearly showing droplets just hanging in the beam of my headlights and streaming around in the breeze!
