I enjoy writing my impressions about movies, even if nobody reads them. gives me a chance to practice, non-performatively, and just riff a bit to see if I can land somewhere I find interesting.

imo probs. dems learned a painful lesson in 2024 w/ Fair Shake and seemed open to compromise, but Trump grift is the only thing normies know about crypto anymore. crypto industry did what it always does, which is embrace grift in the pursuit of financial profit, (re)conflagerated its reputation

Wrote a brief listicle on how onchain startups can sprint w/ Splits and not have to worry about ops complexity after the fact. TLDR: Its easy to segment funds today, add complexity later, and Splits just handles all the edge cases like accounting and compliance on day 1. splits.org/blog/simplif...

Check this UX. What is this? Who is it designed for? How would the intended user know what to do with it?

An extremely unclear elevator panel. 90% of the surface area is taken up with fire warnings, and all labeled controls are for firefighters.

There is one unlabeled button to call the elevator

The scariest part of launching a proper token (with a Cayman Islands entity and everything) is how long I'd feel tied to it. Like, I know how to wind down a C-corp (unf), but I have no idea how you wind those down.

The funniest outcome* would be if China already had ASI and was just slow-drip releasing cheap open-source “frontier models” to bankrupt the US through strategic overinvestment, like the US did to the Soviet Union. *Funniest and therefore most likely

In crypto, every protocol mechanism you are currently imagining has already been tried and failed spectacularly. Fortunately, their failures disproved the distribution strategy more often than the mechanism itself.

GirlTalk is still very, very, very listenable. Only problem is the _great_ parts last for 20 seconds and then he changes the channel again. Clip show music, but they're all bangers. The Eminem + Yael Naim mashup still kills me and it's like, 4 bars long. youtu.be/K0Hq3MEF4e4?...

This interface should have been a chatbot. A joke, sure, but! More and more, I groan when forced to hunt and peck for the specific button with the specific nested menu for a specific setting. My tolerance for cognitive load when it takes me out of flow is at an all time low.

I cannot stress this enough: if your ideology is incapable of assimilating the fact that the American experiment has, thus far, succeeded in remarkable and world-historic fashion, you gotta chuck it and start over. That goes for the anti-immigration bigots as much as the hard Marxists.
