I finished chapter one of Tokyo Mirage Sessions: FE just over three weeks after completing the prologue. I published a short “impressions” post after finishing the prologue (see Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE: Prologue Impressions). Now I will do the same for chapter 1. I continue to be unimpressed with the writing. It is...
Anime News Network reports that “The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie, the compilation film of the television anime … will get a theatrical elease in the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and additional Central American territories, among more areas.” The film will debut in Japan on February...
Over on Brain Baking, Wouter Groeneveld offered a critique of the thumbs up reaction emoji, noting correctly that it is an at best ambiguous response to substantive messages.

From a November 4, 2025 CNBC report: Perplexity AI accused Amazon of “bullying” on Tuesday after it received a letter from the e-commerce giant demanding it prevent people from using its artificial intelligence browser Comet to make purchases on their behalf.

Unlike my router (MikroTik hAP ac3 running MikroTik’s RouterOS), it does not update automatically (I configured a script for the router after having previously upgraded it the old-fashioned way). I forgot about AP updates for some time....
Back in May I published a NLJ article titled Failing to Try Airport Illy Coffee Vending Machine. While researching the Illy vending machines, I came across a website called Vending Connection. Being a fan of vending machines, I added Vending Connection to my feed collection. Just yesterday (November 7), I read a new...
Beginning in 2001 and running through the end of my tenure in high school (at least), I regularly watched ESPN. I still watched it at times through 2015 or 16 or so, which when I last had Cable/Sling TV. ESPN has changed a bit since then, as evinced by a new Morning Brew report titled ESPN […]
According to Joseph Burns writing for City Journal, “while the final tallies [in the 2025 NYC Mayoral election] identified Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa as the losers, the name of the real loser didn’t even appear on the ballot: Governor Kathy Hochul.” While Ms. Hochul is likely less than enthusiastic about running...
