The US Government is a liminal space.

A posterior view of an incomplete braincase of a large iguanodontian dinosaur allowing a peek through the foramen magnum into the cavity occupied by the brain (~12x5 cms). Found by Reginald Hooley who also found Mantellisaurus in 1914. From #IsleofWight now @NHM-London.bsky.social. #FossilFriday

The Green Knight is a Christmas film so I'm watching that as I knit

We introverts, we poets, we writers… have the civility of sorrow, the dreams of the forsaken, and the hearts of the hopeful.

The audacity of life to exist is staggering

Every conversation takes a small act of courage. People forget that vulnerability is the real currency that matters.

IMO Heaven is a bunch of elementary school #art teachers who all got together and created a classroom of infinite fun, whimsy, and learning

All good #artists must die a little before they give something to the world.

the good that you do persists in this world

Is consciousness itself a leap of faith?

#DnD sesh tomorrow!

In the arc of descending daylight they saw mirages amongst the people and the devil in their doorways.

It wouldn’t be life if there wasn’t always another mountain to climb. #writersky

I’ve always thought that #Language is the particle accelerator of Being. In that it advances knowledge and awareness of the relationships that exist in the world. #Nature, humanity, matter. All the same things.

Consistency is the mother of invention not necessity

#Python can backtest a trading strategy, create a heat map of affected areas in your city, and scrape through websites in seconds. Use the force.

Can you canonize yourself on the sainthood of dreams?

Keep #reading. Keep #writing. Terraform your future.

Can you imagine thousands of years into the future and those distant humans who evolved out of reality—who then dig up ancient #algorithms buried in the digital sands? Once so useful. So powerful. So profitable.

What happens when you eat brains? Prion disease, misfolded proteins, a gnawing, raving descent into death. I wonder what happens when #AI consumes itself… The internet is now half AI generated.

If even one person goes hungry, we failed as a society. #endhunger

"I need to hate someone besides myself" is a way of life for too many people.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Trump and Xi meet and agree on a lot of things... What if countries joined together? Like the fucking Avengers. If we all stopped fighting and joined together, 95% of the world's problems would be fixed in a month. It's a myth that war brings innovation. It was always peace.

Who here wants a paradigm shift? And I’m not just talking like the dawn of the internet. I’m talking one we haven’t seen in 600 years. End of feudalism, beginning of capitalism type stuff. The proverbial big one. The massive wave. I feel like we can all sense it coming...

We used to have provocateurs that were literary, #poetic, and deeply interesting. Now we have provocateurs who are vapid, completely self serving, and just all around greedy scumbags.

Trump is back at it again. Still wait to check your 401K’s. #trump #stocks #economy

Don’t check your 401K’s until after Trump chickens out. #economy #trump #stocks

Life is a series of collisions with the future. #future

Solve tomorrow’s problem. Read a book. #booksky

AI can never replicate the human condition (at least not now - maybe in some sci-fi future). The question is: we’re about to have a biblical flood of mediocre content and books. And the market is already flooded. What can we do? How do we proceed?

Someone has already made the same mistake you just made. Learn history.

Your self doubt is the big boss fight.

DRACULA awakes from slumber in 1942 to find the Nazis storming across Europe, his brides drenched in dreams of destroying the patriarchal war-sickness of men, and an ancient, cursed relic in the hands of a newborn Polish vampire. #UnhingedPit #H #A #Historical #Gothic

Hot take: We should stop buying so many things and try renting them at our local library.

Today is fighting an uphill battle.

You may not care about the bond market, but the bond market cares about you.

Creativity is extracting chaos and using it as an antidote against itself. #art #writing

Until #AI has to go through a loved one's cancer diagnosis, or remember lyrics to a nostalgic song, or drive into an unimaginably beautiful sunset, then it will not be doing the job of being human.

What's the best video game you've played in the last three years? #gaming #videogames

I wonder how the happiness feedback loop works when we all just want a subscriber count to go up…

Rainer Maria Rilke: not only, after a late storm, the breathing freshness, not only approaching sleep and a premonition, evenings... also the nights! Also the high summer nights, also the stars, the stars of this Earth! O to be dead at last and know them eternally,

I like this: The idea of history is only possible because of consciousness and its knowledge of impending death. Once you realize you will die, the past and future have extreme importance to your present. So let’s get to work on making NOW better.

#Trump right now: You either die a conservative hero, or live long enough to see yourself become George Bush.

How much of reality is just time getting away from you?

Noooo. They’re coming for us, y’all. #writersky

Finding love is like being lost out at sea and then seeing land again #love #writersky
