  • So I just saw a guy with a t shirt of a fashion brand reading "Funky Buddha" and it got me thinking that if I had a fashion brand, I'd call it Crazy Jesus. He would have a can of pineapple Monster in each hand, have bug eyes and his catchphrase would be, "WHERE'S THE PIZZA??"

  • A collaborator in this project asked me if I use AI to write code and I took that conversation exactly down the road you thought it would go.

    For context, he's a lecturer in a business school. Draw the conclusions you want.

    @dwarmstrong I finished this book a few months ago. I loved it, even if the characterizations got a bit wonky here and there. Anyway, remember: "choose again!" 🫡😁

    @rmblaber1956 @guardian Yes I googled him as well. If you don't endorse his comments I suppose I have nothing to say to you then. But it's unfortunate that somehow in my critique of an article being out of touch, you somehow see an endorsement of the far right 🤔

    @rmblaber1956 Who was this article for? Not the French it seems. The guy seems from the outside of France. His air of slight moralism, the vote blue no matter who argument and no mention of any of the left beyond that they're "fractured"... I mean thanks for telling me about your dinner party with probably some Macronists though and their personal anxieties I guess. He just sounds like some international corporate Democrat. So, like who was this for? 🧐

  • So I went out to eat tonight and I'm reading a play in French and the waiter and a customer spoke to me in a little French. I think they think I'm French. And I guess they're almost not wrong. Wish the French were actually this willing to speak to me in French.

  • I'm in an artsy bar and they're playing like a jazz lounge version of "Come As You Are" and I can't help but feel this is slightly disrespectful to Kurt Cobain.

    @nanianmichaels Yeah. It's like we're doomed to repeat everything until we learn from our mistakes.

    Actually I take that back. Most of us have. We're doomed to repeat everything until we make them stop dragging us into these messes. Pandemics, wars, what have you.... At some point, we have to say enough is enough and I just hope people will do that instead of doing what it feels like now... Giving up and normalizing it

  • My coworker: "This is Adam, he's leading the platform development."
    Researcher: "Oh yes, I saw the platform! Very nice work!"
    Me: "That's very nice of you, but really, there's a lot of things, we need to improve on it."
    Researcher: "Oh he's so modest!"

    Honestly, I'm not particularly proud of the work I've done. I inherited a bad situation and made the best of it, sure, but in and of itself, I'm not proud. But then again, I guess we are often our own worst critic.

  • I'm sorry, WHAT??? WE'RE TRUSTING THEM TO SELF ISOLATE?

    I'm sorry, no, but this is like the one thing that'll turn this anarchist full tanky. Lock them down. Give them chocolates or like pickled socks or whatever they eat over there to keep them happy and comfortable but no no no we are not going to trust them to isolate themselves. We're not doing this again.

  • So one of the unfortunate things about having my work laptop with me and no other computer, the work-life balance is a bit more difficult. Mostly because I have to keep certain tabs open. I think the solution is to use a second browser for non work stuff. That way I can close the work browser and not, like, see an email that gives me an anxiety attack. I guess this is a good time to try Vivaldi!

  • I woke up from a dream where I basically gave my Norma Rae speech about my unionizing job. I talked about how I liked working with everyone and what we do together but then got into the labor theory of value (in layman's terms) and the competing interests of labor and capital. By the end I and my coworkers were crying and then... Get this 🙄... Everyone clapped. Yes, like the meme. How embarrassing. 😅 But I did speak from the heart. Woke up crying a little before I realized it was all not real

  • I arrived in Athens, Greece today and I'll be here 1.5 months for work. I'm exhausted and my job drives me crazy. But I stick with it because I do, in the end, do get to do some really cool stuff, like this. Anyway, I'm tired. I woke up at 2am and it's almost 10pm in that timezone. I was able to have a few drinks with a coworker I like but mostly see only over the internet. We shot the shit. And now I'm shot so good night. Excited to discover more of the city tomorrow and rebuild a routine.

How I'm Spending My Free Time

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Cover of House of Leaves

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Total playtime in the last two weeks

2.45 hours
