guys, this is how you lose the time war

i love typing "1pa" to mean 1password but spotlight is becoming increasingly convinced that i wanna convert one pascal into inches of mercury

the shameless product placement anime is fine as long as they keep the shoe pervert priest around

it fries me that "will you fight, or will you perish like a dog?" isn't some greek fable or latin motto but is from that "hypocrite that you are" meme

it goes against the persian concept of زندگی کردن

today years old to learn that in elden ring they simply named the wolf guy after the welsh word for wolf

i am now fully convinced that the correct way to watch DTF St louis is the ASL version

the last episode of Fire Force ended with a prologue blasting 爆走夢歌 by Diggy-Mo and i could not ask for a better musical callback

i’ve probably got entire essays to say about this assassin’s creed multiplayer. i was never that skilled, but i found more success in playing mind games with other players instead of overwhelming them with pure tech, which was how the game as played competitively at the higher skilled level

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

[forgetting that “plant” プラント already means something else] it’s so interest that the subtitles for Trigun Stampede/Stargaze render 植物 as “flora”

the precise moment i realized i’ve become my mother? easy. i found myself pouring cooking oil from one container into another, purely out of my own volition

you can calque this into a latinate word: autoextrication 不能自拔: autoextrication impossible

greatest triumph of marathon is the way its loot cycle mirrors the hypercapitalism in its lore. every season you start from nothing. you toil for credits, you got no rights, you spend credits to toil better. the zaibatsus that own you make samsara look like a little baby by printing you repeatedly

this will never beat the sleazy italian AI motorcycle that a cat had to ride due to plot reasons

it's only been two weeks but i know marathon has altered my brain chemistry bc its soundtrack plays in my head unbidden

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026)

this problem also existed without AI coding agents, but back then if you forced multiple humans to ship high fidelity over detail, they will clash against each other and eventually refuse to continue unless you solve the details most modern coding agents will simply abide

there used to be a darwinian barrier between a bad idea and reality; now bad ideas are being enacted by AIs that can’t challenge you too hard, authorized by humans who don’t want to do the work of thinking it through

absolutely brimming with joy to discover that an early translation of the english word "index" into chinese was 引得 yǐndé / jan5dak1 "to guide and obtain" if it were borrowed into korean, it would likely become 인득 <indeuk>. if it were borrowed into japanese, we'd likely get 引得 いんとく <intoku>

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...
