Language: English …but use the British flag because (obviously), there’s only one version of English! 😬 Currency: U.S. Dollars because, despite the flag of the language choice, you appear to be in the U.S. 🤦‍♂️ (while technically correct - in the U.S. - the previous flag for the language is nonsense)

Sorry, which Civil War? I hope this wasn’t calling the American Civil War the only civil war, but… 🤷🏻‍♂️ Be more specific; the U.S. is not the only place - it never was and never will be.

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

Goddamnit! I have one of their cases for my keychain AirTag, and after a tonne of research, found it’s the best on the market… but now I’m just embarrassed to use their products!

Again I am begging all LEGIT people running cons, signings, talks, events, etc. to stop using Ai to write your emails. What's happening is ALL THE SCAMMERS/CONMEN are ALSO using it, and so your emails are basically indistinguishable from them. They give off slop vibes EVEN IF YOU ARE LEGIT.

If you're going to have an online presence, I really, really recommend buying your own domain name. If you move between platforms over the years your address stays the same, you can build trustworthiness on your own merits and no one else owns your blog address or can hijack it if you leave.

AI* alone is not going to be the end us; what’s depressing is that that the very human actions and inactions that accompany it are doing the most damage. Humans are shit is not a surprise, but still, we’re just trying to pretend it’s not happening! 😳 *Machine Learning algorithms.
