I've had this idea for a story in my head for like a decade now. I'm going to write it.

I spent much of today brainstorming a name. I keep getting stuck on that detail, and I need something that feels okay.

The name I have for now, which might change, is The Problem with Death.

Thank you, this cured my imposter syndrome.

By 2015, Marty was attending pride marches. Duke was going to vote for Trump initially. It caused a lot of stress in his family. Marty talked him around by asking how he could claim to support his lesbian granddaughter, whose wife was Colombian, and vote for that man.

This dude is such a whiny little bitch, how does anyone respect him? This is like finding out Kyle from high school, who never once stopped bragging about his car and complaining about the girls who were unimpressed (body odor didn't help) was also the mayor somehow.

I saw Verity with my wife today.

I enjoyed it. It was fun. But my main takeaway is, I wish I'd actually followed my dream of being a writer when I was younger.

I'm 39. I guess it's not too late to turn one of those ideas into a reality, yeah?

My economic politics are pretty simple. If you need a thing to live a healthy life, it shouldn't be subject to raw market forces. A person shouldn't with about affording food, shelter, or healthcare. People shouldn't worry that losing their job will result in their untimely death.

It's frankly disgusting to see rent decreases discussed as a loss of earlier gains. Housing shouldn't be an investment. It being more affordable should be seen as a good thing. This incentive structure is fucking evil.

My wife has a maths quiz on Thursday. So tomorrow, we're gonna take the car to get new tyres, then have a date where we eat sushi and do maths problems. Younger me would be so fucking pumped at how our life turned out.

My brother lives in Brisbane. He's survived a lot more fires and floods than the rest of us. Good for him, but I'm happy where I am.

Thoughts: you can make this point without AI, and you should, especially if you wish to not further enrich Donald Trump.

Going to be honest this might be my favourite headline of the AI bubble

The phrase "CSS is awesome", with a cool gradient, text shadows, inside a box, with the word "awesome" rudely extending outside of that box.

Very interesting perspective here.

I've got a slightly modified version of the opening theme song to the Nickelodeon show CatDog stuck in my head, and that's the energy I think Batman movies should adopt moving forward.
