iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

People get real weird about college sports... like, religiously weird. It's creepy. And it's really no better than pro sports at this point - corrupted by money, power, and politics - so to see such cultish behavior from sports fans is a bit gross. I'm sure the gambling apps love it, though. 💸💸💸💸

We have not created Data from Star Trek. We haven't even created R2-D2. At best, we've created the computer from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" that won't tell anyone where the tickets are hidden.

Me, playing GTA 6, as the world collapses into fascism, the climate spirals into chaos, millions die of war and famine, and trillionaire tech nazis shut off the country's water and electricity because an AI bot told them it would be funny: "This game looks GREAT! They got Robyn as a DJ!"

Tonight I got to see a band I never thought I'd see on stage. It was great. I even got some merch. I also paid $17 for a well whiskey & coke. Worth every penny. Tomorrow I fly back to Oregon, while they fly back to Japan. They did say L.A. had the best tacos, which is absolutely true. #downy

that's right next week i'm flying to los angeles to see a show. one night, then back to portland. used points for the flight, booked cheap lodging, and getting around on public transport. i've been following this band for 20+ years and they're coming to the US for the first time. i gotta do it.

Hmm... A "send me money to save my family" bot just reposted a comment I left on another post the *instant* I sent it. There's no way a human user would've had time to even READ my comment, let alone repost it that fast. It wouldn't have even shown up yet! Seems Bluesky is VERY vulnerable to bots.

Happy Birthday, Star Trek. Here's to hoping the hu-mons all get along one day soon.

Some of the alien-dressed cast of Star Trek Deep Space Nine are eating lunch at a long table on a Hollywood backlot. They are in full makeup, but most are out of their costumes and in short sleeves. They are chatting and engaging with each other. Quark and Rom are in the foreground, Morn is further back, and a few Cardassians are with them as well. They are drinking bottled water and Diet Coke.

If you live in a neighborhood where people let their cats outside, you might notice you also live in a neighborhood without a lot of birds. If you live in a neighborhood that also has a coyote population, you might notice you also live in a neighborhood with a lot of "missing cat" posters.

I'm not sad about Dolly. I will be, but right now I'm not. 80 is a good run, and when you do with your 80 years what Dolly did with hers, you did plenty. She can rest now, and we can miss her forever. I'll be sad about it later.

Gen Xers partied entirely too hard. I was at a party that ended up on CNN because SWAT showed up and we all got tear-gassed. Yes there were some flipped cars and a few exploding beer kegs, which blew out lots of windows, but it was all in good fun and nobody died. 👍

Humans have crashed quite a few things into the Moon, usually deliberately. The Soviets did it first, in 1959. The Americans did it in the 1960s. Elon's a fascist piece of shit and I hope he fucking rots, but he's not the first person to fuck up the Moon with space junk - just the most recent.

I'm noticing a trend in modern commercials that - I think - is new: Advertising specifically for businesses, not individuals. Lots of ads for corporate AI services. No ads for food, cars, clothes, or toys. Corporations are advertising to themselves, and we're no longer a target audience.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the bot accounts make up about 70% of all activity here. So many accounts with equal numbers of followers, following, and posts, up in the 20k+ range, constant reposts and copy/paste replies, endless ragebait and blue wave links. Just the flipside of Twitter.

I'm watching old episodes of the Drew Carey Show and forgot how absurd this show was. It's still funny, if occasionally completely inappropriate in 2026. It's also such a weird time capsule from a time that no longer exists.
