  • There’s a mass without roofs, there’s a prison to fill
    There’s a country’s soul that reads post no bills
    There’s a strike and a line of cops outside of the mill
    There’s a right to obey and a right to kill

  • Disagree.

    There are AI models you can download on your machine right now that have a pretty solid ability to talk about what life is like today. Hell, I’ve got a few on my home server.

    If anyone spins up any of the hundreds of versions of the hundreds of thousands of models out there at any time in the future and asks “what was the public opinion of Elon musk in 2026” it will tell you what we all know.

    People still have videogame consoles from the 80s.

    You can no longer effectively erase the past. You can no longer effectively write history as you please. The state of affairs circa right now are crystalized and localized, distributed amongst the masses. It is the biggest Hydra in the history of history.







  • Under promise and over deliver is still king.

    “I cannot guarantee something won’t go sideways. I need at least 3 weekends of overtime available to be certain before it’s released.”

    Deliver it 10 days later. Or 12, after relaxing for a day or two.

    Your timeframe stands. New project? Do it again. Give yourself ~100-150% extra room.

    We don’t always have the time and some ideas are too complex.

    But this is what good teachers are good at. You need to relate to your student before you can teach them anything.

    “Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing about either.” -Marshall Macluhan.

    People are not entertained by “you are wrong I am right.” Literally nobody is. There’s an art to teaching.




  • My costco has a gas station and the entire parking area is a god damn zoo.

    It’s utter chaos. You can choose left which includes the front or right which includes gas station and auto bays for tire stuff.

    Left is the right call, but if you get halfway down any aisle of parking without finding a spot, you are forced to cross the front of the store in your vehicle. This is never advisable.

    Going right is chaos. You might get lucky, but if you don’t, you’re at least spared passing the entrance. You are however stuck with the gas line, the auto bays, and the access to the deliveries/etc.
