I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Kitchens on fire off the oil in the ovens. I watched tokens glitter in the dark near the skeeball grate. All those moments will be lost in time, like pizzas in rain. Time to die.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

We’re using familiar mental vocabulary for unfamiliar computational phenomena; naturally, the vocabulary is outrunning what we actually know. Which is fun, because everything arrives preloaded with implications it may not actually deserve.

PINOCCHIO is frankly terrifying; he's set alight, enslaved to a puppet master, lynched by ruffians, swallowed by a fish, plunged alive into a boiling pot and nearly carried off by rabbit undertakers, before becoming a real boy. Illustrations by Folkyard 1914 edition #FairyTaleTuesday

Pinocchio is nearly plunged into a pot (illustration by Charles Folkyard 1914 Dent edition).

I went into watching "Pinnochio: Unstrung" (2026) with low expectations (as it's part of the 'Poohniverse')... ...but I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Animatronic puppet work, gooey practical gore, and Robert Englund cracking wise made it the kind of fun horror ride I dig. youtu.be/uApioBmGpAc

Not my creation, but not exactly difficult to disagree with either

The top half is all the stuff people point at when they say “the web”:

WASM
V8
browsers
AI
whatever Microsoft bolted on this week

…and then the load path eventually resolves to:

DNS → Linux → unpaid/open-source maintainers → cloud/CDN plumbing → civilization

i understand the instinct to wrangle these creative transmissions and control the outcome when you connect to them. thats so much raw power in our human hands and it can be scary, and one way of making it feel SAFE is to wrap it up in irony or only sample a half measure. buckaroo, STAY OPEN to it

It is a difficult challenge to strike the right balance between articulating clearly that liberal democracy is under acute threat – and needlessly perpetuating the Far Right’s assertions of strength and dominance. Remember: Nothing about these extremists is inevitable.

I was lucky enough to see Laurie Anderson in LA on her first west coast tour (she was followed by William Burroughs that night!) and fell instantly in love with her music. I've seen her many times since, but still regret missing this show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mua8...

i've been working on chatbots for 14 years; computers have been stupid the whole time. when they work, it seems like magic. when they don't, their stupidity used to be more obvious. the reason people are so taken by LLMs is that their failure modes still bear a resemblance to human language.
