I was reminded by my photo library that I started taking PrEP 11 years ago, this weekend. So now, that’s most of my adult life. I wonder if anywhere there is a serious ethnographer looking into the effects of it on stigma and attitudes among MSM.

I feel like this is straight out of some kind of science fiction disaster movie, it’s fixing its own wifi problems

I am slightly nervous about this. Confessions on a Dance Floor is one of the greatest albums of all time. Can she replicate it? This could be the most ambitious attempt by a pop star at shaping their own canon since Taylor re-recording her masters.

I know its such a tired angle, but I find it very icky that somehow OpenAI has figured out I am going to Vietnam soon and sends me an email suggesting I practice Vietnamese with their AI. Sure, this is a typical Internet advertising practice, but throwing a very smart AI into the mix...

I told it about my longstanding discomfort with sand and, discussing my plans for Da Nang in a few weeks, it replied:

text in a Claude chat: "claps your shoulder, heads for the door, turns back halfway
And David — the sand thing. Work on that. It's going to come up."

MoCA Taipei just has such excellent curation. Latest exhibition, an exploration of Taiwanese artist collectives, has several excellent/weird installations, including this stunning driftwood sculpture of the skeleton of a specific beached whale.

Inspired by @flaminghydra.com I am finally reading Moby-Dick and I am so so so stoked to get to the cetology chapter

Brain exploding food discovery today - Myanmar 🇲🇲 cuisine also has roti prata and this version might actually be better than the standard SG/MY version?

Ambient, ambient, Korean synthpop, Taylor, and postrock. That’s… pretty accurate.
