Since today was my only day off and I had to spend it with cleaning, grocery shopping and getting a gas/fuel refill at the gas station in freezing temperatures, I am kinda in the mood to spread at least a little bit of positivity: one of my recent discoveries on YT is a channel that emulates typical late 70’s documentaries called British Cryptids. If they didn’t use AI-generated parts in some earlier videos, I might’ve totally believed that it was some kind of Lost Media that’s recently been found in an archive. Thankfully, they listened to community feedback and don’t use any AI generated interview segments anymore, as those felt kinda misplaced and jarring for the time vibe they were going for. Here’s a nice video from this channel: The Woodwose of Cannock Chase - on a related note, “Woodwose” was a word that I was completely unfamiliar with as a non-native english speaker, but I find it rolls off the tongue nicely. At least better than “Sasquatch”.

I also realised it’s now a week since I promised to join the Zulip server. Long story short, early shifts suck badly and the fatigue fries my already short memory even more. I’ll get around to it eventually though.
