"I want to be a dragon."

Well, I'm crying now

Wow, Brennan's nailing a very specific, very accurate picture of womanhood with Caramelinda. That's talent right there. Talent and empathy. It's very impressive watching a man be this empathetic and knowledgeable of something so specific to women and girls. (I'm not saying no men have EVER been in Caramelinda's position before, but for women it's pretty fucking common). I picked up on exactly who she was from episode one before she even showed up onscreen and now I'm in "At the Mountain of Sweetness" and this poor woman just had a funeral for her daughter and met her husband's child from a previous secret marriage and now she's in a room talking to her remaining child and my heart is breaking.

Ruby: "Are we letting this happen, are YOU letting this happen?"

Caramelinda: "I can't remember the last time when it felt like I had a handle on my own life."

Ruby: "But...You are the handle."

Caramelinda: "Am I? Did I ever stop you or your father or anyone else from doing what they were going to do? Or have I just spent my whole life crowing for nothing?"

"You're a woman grown, and now the secret is revealed. All the crowns on all the heads on all the kingdoms of the world don't know. Don't know what they're doing and don't know what's going to happen next and don't know how to stop it. Here's what I have control over; I'm gonna take a bath and I'm gonna eat something.

Ruby: "Well I'm not"

And then she proceeds to avoid processing any of that conversation or any emotions and goes invisible and sneaks around investigating instead. Poor Caramelinda.

Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.

So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:

In the url bar, type in about:config

It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.

One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:

browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.

The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

What did you dissect in school?

A frog

Pig’s heart

Sheep’s lung

Several things

Something else

My school didn’t have students dissect anything

I didn’t attend school

Tangent from my usual but has anyone else had the idea that the reason the Saja boys are such blank slates except Jinu might be that they're ex-humans too, but they're the ones who already got the deal that Gwi-Ma offered Jinu?

So they don't remember who they were, they're just demons now, their past sins and shames are gone, they don't have names because...they don't have names anymore.

But they used to.

Kinda chilling.
