iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I was commuting during rush hour here on transit a bit, and I've somewhat voyeuristically watched a bit. Both baffling how widespread it is and just how shit they are too

Doing a comparative reading between Higurashi and Homestuck would probably go crazy with how they compare and contrast with fandom stuff, but that is also 100% a form of self-harm.

DM'd a friend this but I realized that the sea of fragments in When They Cry and dream bubbles in Homestuck are functionally the exact same thing. It's deeply distressing.

been trying to ask myself how to make it more fun for myself actually, but it's truly brutal out there. one of the things that really sucks to me is how understandably on-edge everyone is now with everything

I keep watching it but this is the first time it's recommended me a playlist nightmarish like that instead of more comedy music

lapinette @protractive.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

You can guess how this happened, but I'm just imagining someone listening to this playlist with a straight face

Since this discussion is often around Japanese too, I am not of the belief that LLMs are going to be able to handle zero pronouns since uh, you gotta use your brain to understand those things lol

If the scope's shifted to broader antipsych, (which policing is a part of,) Sayooshi feels like a nice complement to this conversation too

It was "出発案内" but I don't know in English, departure board?? I can point at it and call it "departures" but that's also not that what that points to is it? Interesting problem.

Tangential to one famous example, but reading Salems' Lot recently and realizing that fucker had that douchebag attitude back in the 70s was insane

Think I've seen it mostly as an economic thing. "An iPad for every kid" isn't talked about as much now maybe, but I remember how quickly that turned into "a Chromebook for every kid."

Have to be honest I'm sometimes a bit baffled by the theory of mind people have about like 80-year-olds using AI. You think this is what we run with?

I had to check the terminology but reminds me of some discourses I've heard around like mukokuseki/kawaii as aesthetic in regards to like Sanrio and such. "Glocalization" and all that.

Fun excerpt from Borges' Autobiographical Essay (tr. di Giovanni)

At some point while in Switzerland, I began reading
Schopenhauer. Today, were I to choose a single philoso-
pher, I would choose him. If the riddle of the universe can
be stated in words, I think these words would be in his
writings. I have read him many times over, both in German
and, with my father and his close friend Macedonio Fer-
nández, in translation. I still think of German as being a
beautiful language—perhaps more beautiful than the litera-
ture it has produced. French, rather paradoxically, has a
fine literature despite its fondness for schools and move-
ments, but the language itself is, I think, rather ugly.
Things tend to sound trivial when they are said in French.
In fact, I even think of Spanish as being the better of the
two languages, though Spanish words are far too long and
cumbersome. As an Argentine writer, I have to cope with
Spanish and so am only too aware of its shortcomings. I
remember that Goethe wrote that he had to deal with the
worst language in the world—German. I suppose most writ-
ers think along these lines concerning the language they
have to struggle with. As for Italian, I have read and reread

The one thing that makes "nerd rage" well up in me is thinking about how many fucking American Millennials joke about Nanaca Crash compared to how many have played Cross Channel. That game is just too good for this, man.

Everything else aside too, she looks like every third white lady I've met, and I'm not calling any of them ugly either. People just being way too hyperbolic because one of our enemies looks a certain way

I honestly do wonder if I write my own stuff in the future what language I do it in, cuz I'll probably translate anything to the other inevitably.

I will say, having watched it when I was like four or five, the sequence where they're going through all the guys that were killed and the skeleton both freaked the fuck out of me. Good on them for including those segments.
