Olivia Grace Jordan 1923-2025 My best friend. My cousin called me a little while ago. She's going to the care center to stay with Granny until the funeral home people turn up. I want to but the movers will be here at 9 and things aren't ready because I was at Granny's late. So I guess I better get to work.
Shofo, Sega Channel, Merriam-Webster, More: Tuesday ResearchBuzz, December 16, 2025 My Granny is not well (yes, I still have a Granny, she's 102) and I have spent much of the last two days at her care center. Headed back there this afternoon. Newsletters may be disrupted. On the other hand I've had enough caffeine to power a thousand Monday mornings so perhaps they'll be on time with extra spelling errors, which a certain segment of you will be delighted to chastise me…
Back at granny’s. She’s a little restless. She started saying “my little Zeusy” over and over. (Zeus was her dog.) I rubbed her shoulder and tried talking but she didn’t pay me mind. So I started singing “your little Zeusy” over and over until she started singing it back, then I added “And everything’s okay” until she started singing that back and settled down. We’re a very sing-y family lol
Granny’s care center called me about 6am saying she wasn’t doing good so I threw some clothes on and headed over. She’s on oxygen and they just gave her some more morphine to help her cough. She’s woke up a few times and asked where I was and I’m so glad I could say “I’m right here honey.” My cousins coming to take a shift in an hour or so and I’ll head back home. If I didn’t have to be out of the house by the end of the month I’d stick here until I was no longer required. But I can’t.

Everybody and his little cat Francis is getting a year in review
Y'all.
The most popular page on ResearchBuzz by far is an article I wrote several years ago about finding information on people who had been suspended / deleted from Twitter. This morning I got an email from someone asking me to update it for today's Twitter and that's a no. I'm not going to do anything to make Twitter easier to use; it goes against my ethics.
