Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

It's remarkable how inciteful these young people are. One of them notes that, for many, extremism is rhetorical, when in reality it is a practice with real, tangible repercussions. Another notes wanting to grapple with topics from all angles made him more susceptible to the online nazi pipeline.

Last year I sent one of my servers to a COLO, but have only been accessing it through a jumpbox VM. Not anymore. I just connected my 8x Nvidia V100 server to my home server rack over 100mi away. In ~20 minutes, Twingate had both networks talking, no firewall shenanigans required. #ad #sponsored

At this point there is hours of video of me railing against AI on Craft Computing. I'll never stop. It's frustrating this shit is crammed into any tool or program you may use. But it's easy to disable it, hide it, or use something else. I will write my shit on paper and mail it in before I use AI.

A book cover for Savage Realms Monthly, Tales of Swords and Sorcery, featuring the talents of VK Boone, Rett Weissenfels, and James Curl. Pictured, There's a half naked barbarian in the snow about to draw his sword.

I did! I stopped qualifying my atheism with quotes from the Bible and knowing their faith more than them. It's a waste and very liberating to just say it like it is to them. Highly recommend y'all do it too. Even better when you can highlight some of the absurdity of their practices.

I produced this album which features grand lyrics about figures such as Emma Goldman, Abbie Hoffman, and the guy who threw his shoe at George W Bush. One of the songs was recorded while we found out Dick Cheney died. It's a fun time. Check it out.
