I need to find some way to combine my train ride home with the half hour of lying face down on the bed I seem to require after getting home

scuttlebutt around work is they're going to turn on keylogging and screen recording. I was already planning on looking for a new job next year, but I thought I'd be able to stand it for another 3 months to get my retention bonus. Dunno what I'll do

I've got something like a week of vacation to use up before the end of the year. Can take some long weekends or something but I dunno what I want to do really.

brain: I appreciate that you have this record of every shitty thing ever done to me and every bad decision I made since the age of 13, and can causally tie them to the current sorry state of my life, but we don't need to go over all of that every single fucking day

Finished re-reading Anathem for the n-th time. It's a very cozy read for me. I think its main flaw is that it explains too much and so undermines itself.

I'm like 40% confident that work is keeping me around as layoff fodder. It's more likely that management just sucks at their job, but also it feels like I don't exist some weeks.

the sharps disposals at work are all full and not getting emptied. Is that because 1. they are overwhelmed by everyone injecting peptides 2. whoever is responsible got laid off and the AI that replaced them can't 3. accommodating employees is DEI and bad ? it's 2026 so who knows

maybe someday science will figure out why I impose arbitrary standards on myself and then feel bad for not meeting them. Nobody cares when I get into work if it's before 11 AM so why did sleeping in for half an hour cause me to be all stressed out this morning?

Book review: if you're a leftist, you should read this. It does a good job of explaining historical attempts to establish socialism, and outlines what any transition is going to have to contend with in the coming years. My takeaway is to root for the end of US/EU imperialism, but there's a lot more

I got everything done that I wanted to get done this weekend! Including catching up on the chores skipped to go camping, and putting all the camping stuff away.

Seeing dolphins on the way back to mainland from Santa Cruz Island was so cool, what amazing creatures! #dolphins

some evenings I think "I could probably convince someone that I actually know how to play guitar" there's tons of stuff I still need to learn, but also there are a few songs and riffs and solos I can play that don't sound terrible

Beyond tokenmaxxing, some of what's driving "AI" adoption is "my boss got a stupid idea from the chatbot. I'll have the bot spit something out so I can claim I'm working on it" 1980s USSR: they pretend to pay us so we pretend to work 2020s USA: they pretend to run a business so we pretend to work

Media often depicts people being bullied to the point where they can't take any more, snap, and fight back. It rarely depicts the people who get bullied to the point where they can't take any more and withdraw from everything that a bully could target.

like 80% of running a journal club is being annoying enough that people would rather sign up for a slot than deal with your stream of "that work sounds interesting, would you want to talk about it in journal club?"
