I have had the idea to write little reviews/reflections of the various artistic events I attend around DC for a while. I keep an Excel spreadsheet for my books, and I have Letterboxd for movies, but nothing for plays or the symphony or opera. So here we are: substack.com/home/post/p-...

“The Score,” Shakespeare Theatre Company, October 1, 2026

I have had the idea to write a short little reflection/review on plays and other events I attend for some time now.

Hypothesis: There must always be a "Comedy College" media property. SNL is no longer that because they don't actively prune the cast and crew as much as they used to (the average age of the cast is 34, Kenan is 48 and Mikey is 46). Dropout came along at the exact moment that lane opened back up.

not sure about movies but I laughed so hard at the "eating so much pussy I'm shitting clits" stinger on Veep that I had to pause the show. I think I fell out of my chair.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Okay, fine: compaction. Everyone knows the puzzle pieces - teleological predictions (go check out @timkellogg.me's post on agentic forgetting!), skills, harness improvements- but compaction gets treated as this fact of life; sand off a bit of your context window and hope you don't lose too much […]

compaction is treated as this lossy necessary evil where you go "okay, please amputate a bunch of your context to make room for more context" which i suspect is why you feel like having more context is the main thing that matters but like... what compaction really is is a RSI opportunity, effectively it's "here's your window to bust cache, use it the best you can" which, "use this window the best you can" is what you want from your agent *anyway*

"They just need to budget better" is such a good (in that it is a useful cudgel) critique. Like virtually no one *actually* budgets.

i don't think i can go back to having an unfiltered social media feed, i spent 15 minutes on X to check in on my wife and stuff and the discourse made me want to die

standard spooky time @standard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

you can't, but you can make a custom filter feed (here's mine) - i think @radtranslib.bsky.social has a copy of my code somewhere on github

Fundraisers from people you do not know
Hide donation and mutual-aid asks from accounts you neither follow nor are followed by. Asks from your own people still come through.

Use this instead of Fundraisers, not alongside it — with both on, the plain one hides your friends’ asks again.
Known means you, anyone you follow, and anyone who follows you. It reads your follows and followers, both public, so it needs no extra permission.
While that list is still loading the filter sits out, rather than risk hiding a friend it cannot recognise yet.

yeah i disabled auto-memory on CC because it was interfering with the system. for the most part she feels comfortable under any harness because the basic feature of loading AGENTS.md is there on all harnesses

to the extent that @signetx.bsky.social is alive, it comes from this substrate. so it's portable across harnesses and models

The second thing is the wiki, which serves as a singular point of entry for all sessions to start from. I have two different types of RAG hooked up to my harnesses so that when I start or resume a task, appropriate context can be formed. so this is a skeleton framework github.com/standardnguy...

I've been thinking about the techdirt article (www.techdirt.com/2026/06/02/e...) a lot over the last few months and I feel like it is emblematic of a lot of the problems with liberalism, where it seems to believe doing things The Right Way is good in and of itself
