Because you asked for it. A lot. Keep an eye out, it’s about to be real.

I used to fall asleep with headphones on while listening to CDs. Some of the “hidden tracks” would wake me up pretty hard.

This dude started a division within google whose goal was to “solve death”. The hubris of the billionaire class, who believe they alone can “solve” humanities problems, is immeasurable.

I ran 8 miles yesterday and today and my potassium balance is out of whack. Why did I get a cramp in my shoulder? My feet feel twitchy. I love running!

To be fair if half of our economy was sunk into building screw drivers, I’d also be very skeptical.

Inelastic demand is not a high level concept, most kids are taught about it alongside other basic economics. It’s one of the core functions of government, to make sure inelastic goods and services are regulated and produced and priced at adequate levels.

This part hurt. I am me but I’m also a thousand versions of me. Each person gets a perfectly curated version that I hope will make me palatable to them so I don’t cause offense or discomfort. I absorb everything I can to be relatable. It’s all dross layered on a reclusive nucleus.

Hard week for me, but the one thing I’m really getting sick of is a bunch of ads for clearly AI written “reference guides” and educational books. That is straight up stolen work from people who actually did do the research and experimentation.

This only works if people don’t know what Marxism is. Power to the worker? No oligarch class? Basic needs met so people can live without fear of medical debt or starvation? Taxes going towards the common good rather than corporations? Wonder why they’d try to make that sound bad.

Oooph, when one of the big discussion topics of the day online drags the trauma right up to the surface. Rough.

I’m always so humbled when anyone cares to talk to me about my professional or creative opinions. Like I’m just some nerd who cares about making the places people work and create things as cool as possible.

Ran one of my faster recent 10ks last night and then came straight home and crashed out for 9 hours. Had weird dreams my band played a show where we covered a song I’d never learned.

The entire reason I avoided both destiny games was because of their approach to narrative. D1 had half its narrative on a website, D2 kept vaulting away its content. Hopefully they realized the future of the IP requires its narrative to be accessible to new players.

Definitely hammered my feelings about faith and a greater concept of god into place for me. Yuna is very tragic and anyone who trashes the sequel never had a friend who got free of a religious family and discovered themself.

The two games I was most excited for this fall are both getting good reviews and now I just need to make time to actually play them.

Started my work week off in a very chipper mood. I hope this holds. Maybe it’s the fall weather, or maybe it’s because I went worm mode over the weekend and got to relax a bunch.

Ed Sheeran is a corporation parading as a musician. If I had never heard of him before I’d swear he’s AI.

Went to see resident evil and there was a trailer for a movie so bad that I thought the daily wire might have produced it. I forget what it was called but it was essentially a white vet dude killing corpo dudes who tried to come steal his land. The grossest reddit baby brained shit I’ve ever seen.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.
Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

This is similar to the mid point of FF6 where you’re like “wait, the good guys can lose?”

Yann in crimson desert is the best acted and best written supporting character in a long time. He’s the kind of friend you hate but also want to hang out with constantly so you don’t miss out on anything crazy.

Living in LA was the same. Every band came through, every night a show I’d have killed to see, but I couldn’t afford any of it.

In sorry, it’s 2026, and all the “crypto is for money laundering and criminals” people are now correct. Anyone buying meme coins or investing in crypto are gambling obsessed idiots who enable the oligarchy.

No no, you have to buy the communist plants if you want them to share their resources. Capitalist plants have rugged individualist leaves. Easy mistake.

Move to a city where you’ll never be able to afford a home and we won’t pay you enough to keep your standard of living or look for a new job. I’d take that severance.
