iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A major advantage I’ve found with recovering from Guillain-Barré is that I can get out of literally any holiday-related activity without additional justification. (I’m looking at you, state college production of The Nutcracker.)

When the electrical socket is right there, but you realize you didn't bring the right adapter.

A still frame from "Andor", where Luthen looks dejected and on the wall behind him a part of the ship he's on looks like a giant American electrical outlet.

I probably had 20 different nurses as I bounced around between the neuro ward and ICU last month. They were all, without exception, great. They work long hours under high pressure and keep people like me alive. We should treasure them.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I wish I had something more profound to say in this Quote Post, but just wow. This essay starts with Johnny Cash and ends up in a limestone cave, it will defy and exceed any of your expectations going in to it. Brava, Sarah.

This, from an article on California efforts to deter wolves from eating cows in the Sierra Valley by blasting various sounds from flying drones:

The USDA-led crew typically broadcasted one of four pre-recorded audio clips on the flights: fireworks, gunshots, AC/DC’s hard-rock anthem “Thunderstruck” and a heated conversation between actress Scarlett Johansson and actor Adam Driver, from the movie “Marriage Story.”

The DOJ estimates that Epstein and his fellow child abusers trafficked at least 200 children. Meanwhile, experts estimate that in 2025, roughly 2600 minors were forced into a child marriage in the United States. That’s some 50 minors every week, or about seven per day, every single day of the year.

This is a lovely piece about what it means to be a 21st-century Quaker. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/71397/.... And this quote strikes me as a useful framing across many forms of community-building: “If you want to keep your flock together,” he says, “don’t build a fence—dig a well.”

I’m home! Exactly 30 days after heading to the ER, I am back in my own bed surrounded by family (and cats). There is much more recovery to be done but I’m so happy and grateful to everyone who helped me get this far.

Such a great article with thoughtful and insightful questions and answers about what it means to create protocols (and products using protocols) in this space. Essential reading for every atproto hacker (or even critic) out there.

Hey NYT, some more ideas for you: 1. How Zohran’s facial hair trimming process signals to his multi-generational following 2. A phrenologist’s view on Zohran’s skull shape 3. What the wear pattern on Zohran’s shoes predicts about his embrace of the left (turn) 4. Actually talk about his policies

A little personal update: I’ve been hospitalized with Guillain-Barré Syndrome for the past 3 weeks. Came on suddenly and had me almost completely immobilized, but thankfully with IVIG treatment (so grateful to donors) avoided needing artificial respiration. Now in inpatient PT working on mobility.

There’s a lot in here to agree with. Specifically, the idea that copyleft can create a sort of mandated flywheel of open-source growth; my words not his. Definitely worth a read as always. vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025...

Was almost home with the baby yesterday on Union Blvd. when the tornado winds caught me. Limbs from trees, bricks from buildings were all coming down from both sides of the street. Rear window and left passenger window shattered (baby car seat was on the right, mercifully). Absolutely terrifying.
