iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'll never forget the day where I started noticing my brain wiring itself strangely, creating repetitive patterns to trace and weird aversions I was six years old, trying to tell my mom about the confusing ways my brain was working but completely lacking the vocabulary to meaningfully describe it

There's a whole cycle of grief that comes from realizing that the good guys you've caped for your whole life are running a system that directly profits off of death and destruction, and that those impulses take precedence over any professed ideals of peace and prosperity

a major societal problem is that conservatives are socially conditioned to assault anyone who disagrees with them while liberals are socially conditioned to avoid conflict at all costs

Had a dream that Mega Man X2 rereleased and the buster part had two choices (like in X4) The newly-added choice gave X a double jump and made all his regular buster shots do one extra damage

it’s amazing that there’s no crime anymore. if you do crime you’re actually just the victim for getting caught. the people who catch you are the criminals

Had no idea that Paula's Theme was originally the theme to Youngtown in the first Mother game The contrast between the two is interesting, because the NES version conveys an eeriness that people are trying to live through, while the SNES version feels more like a helpless worrying

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

Humoring conservatives & acting like they make good points over the last 30 years brought us here. You never have to listen to them for the rest of our lives. It's time to treat career arsonists with the contempt they've earned instead of imagining a fake world where they're reasonable interlocutors

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.
