iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

At the bar to watch the Sox, and no one’s even looking at the screen. We’re all talking copilot, grok, and Claude. That’s what the people are into these days

used to write a lot about the looming possibility of a young big $ NBA player turning down a big extension, taking the qualifying offer, and effectively breaking a big part of the league's talent control structure. i stopped writing about it because it seemed like no one was ever going to do it

pretty happy with the information/news walls i've built up over the last year. i'm still over-informed, but much more often have the pleasant sensation of not knowing what the hell anyone is talking about

tom cruise has been a boring franchise-slop actor for twenty years, garnering broad cult praise from a broken nation for leaning too far into a midlife crisis that became a deep-life crisis. his new movie, an attempt to over-correct this long derailment, will only highlight it further

i know that managing sports-watching during the streaming era can be annoying and expensive, but people act like it was so easy to know what channel games were on in the past, and that simply wasn't the case. there was confusion then as well; and, even more so, just not that many games to watch

teams play zero preseason minutes at full football speed, so the NFL doesn't really start getting competent until week 5 now. but the average fan isn't discerning enough to care about the lag in quality, so hey, it goes on

People are talking about a song I haven’t heard in a meta critical way that makes them all look like losers. Not me, though: here I pen a remark that rises well above that fray

think all straight people who discoursed at great and punishing length about a western mass lesbian bar should have to give equal airtime to this. it’s your own community this time!

I'm sorry, but if you bring a sincere opinion about binary engagement bait over shit that doesn't matter - any opinion at all - to a job interview, you're disqualified. It's not hard, people.

I think about the decline of the CTA as much as I think about anything. There is a lot of more specific blame to go around, but I increasingly attribute the infrastructure’s failure to a hegemonic and worldwide decline in standards and competence

one of the 21st century’s great tragedies is seeing a media industry gutted by decisions made by the tech industry elevate a bunch of industry shills as the people meant to help the public understand how tech works and what impacts it’s having on the world

one of the 21st century's great tragedies is that millions of smart people were convinced to bury their heads in the sand by either stochastic parrots discourse or Zitron-style capabilities denialism and haven't updated based on new evidence. nature is healing but it's so late.

Similarly, I don’t envy the Bears and/or Vikings media who have to fill hours about a game where the only real analysis is: it rained a lot so the game was weird

I feel the most midwestern that I can feel when I see New Yorkers writing messy and unflattering things about their lives and families for a large audience. One simply need not do that
