got some drafts locked and loaded thanks bluesky

it is fated. Woke 2 demands a Discord 2

just a little PSA with the new update of bluesky rolling out: i come from a long line of draft dodgers and i i tend to carry that legacy forward

explaining Thad's (who uses that/that's pronouns) Honda to another friend while our second friend with the same name and the same car is present like yea that's that Thad's That's — that Thad that's that/that's, not *that* Thad's That's

big news for all the cowards out there

Basically, I was very inspired by @strange.website and his piece: henry.codes/writing/a-we...

I hate to quote myself, but: “…the technology’s real value isn’t improving productivity, or even in improving products. Rather, [‘artificial intelligence’ is] a social mechanism employed to ensure compliance in the workplace, and to weaken worker power.” ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/agains...

Whatever the productivity gains promised by LLMs, they result in heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.” All this from the notoriously pro-worker rag [checks notes] Harvard Business Review: hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

wait what the hell

go ahead. post another "take." tell me that not liking AI is elitist. accuse Dril of sabotaging Harris's chances at winning the election. say that it's "white male privilege" to not vote for Newsom. come up with a woke way to support genocide. call me gay for liking corn dogs.

today's main character won't see your scathing and righteous dunk on plainly ragebait takes about AI & creativity, but your talentless hack buddies who don't believe in the strength of will or perseverance or the desire to flourish for the sake of one’s soul will

> every other post on FYP is [ℹ️ Deleted] *touches ground* something terrible happened here

a website that remembers being a Figma file

people, even strangers, keep telling me they believe that I might be, even must be, good company at parties — that's because I am, and they are each good judges of a man's character

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

i write javascript that really pisses people off man. i write the type of javascript that makes people try to kick my ass

i used not really fw w*than for devaluing my craft to chase his own bag before I realized how much freelance work I was gonna get unfucking tailwind projects lmao now we're BOYS as far as I'm concerned

contrary to popular belief, the Internet is not a telecom center, but a celestial wellspring at a critical Ley line intersection. discovered some time in the 1960s, humans first alloyed manually, then built increasingly complex æromancy machines to move "data", a form of elemental energy, in & out

Remove the “stain” from “Instagram” and you’re left with “gram” How much does a soul weigh? Exactly. Retrieving the essence of the web from the dead-eyed, sucking maw of corporate exploitation is a higher calling

instagram, nyt, etc will face dire judgement for building their hasty breezeblock barricades in our verdant Wide Open Web. that i should hesitate to click on a URL, the holiest of gateways, for fear it will lead only to a "log in to read this content" screen? inexpiable. sin thou canst not absolve

jesus christ that’s John Websites

this thread, now eternal, on stillness.digital :)

your crazy ass stupid post just fucked up the whole world . hope it was worth the likes. hope youre enjoying the clicks

I'm piecing evidence together

who else doing their little pointless computer tasks

the mist settling through the valley smells clean after last night's rain, and the lark buntings and gray jays and cedar waxwings discuss the issues of the day, more and more clamorous despite the gentle hushing of the wind turbine's vanes oscillating high above us on the hill

After all… why not? Why shouldn't I build a new website?

Falling in line with much of what I like to write and share is explored beautifully in a piece by @strange.website. Forging the internet into a better place, with federation, accessibility, and interoperability. Stuff like this inspires me to build more and stop using compartmentalized platforms.

My new book, Fine Specimens, comes out next month! My publisher said I should make a video for the book’s Amazon page, so I figured I might as well post it here, too, esp. as it took about 17 takes. Please feel free to pre-order it from wherever you buy books! Some links: geni.us/FineSpecimens

woke with a start, another dream about working on the grime of the 'Net. it's near dawn, the sun waiting for me below the horizon, and the air is crisp on the ranch. i stretch; make my way to the photovoltaic array. i dont work on the web anymore, traded long ago pixels for panels on the solarfarm

chuck schumer retire bitch

liberals are gonna have to get really chill with violent resistance real quick if they wanna see brunch again in their lifetimes

not aronofsky dude that's my emotional support loser director :/

“Many technological systems, when examined for context and overall design, are basically anti-people. People are seen as sources of problems while technology is seen as a source of solutions.” — Ursula Franklin, The Real World of Technology, 1990

oh hell yea ha ha oh fuck yea cool project

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity

some personal news: i’m moving! far, far from the intersection of Art & Technology — i’ve found a little ranch up at the end of Route 287 between the towns of Care & Consideration; there’s a little diner where you can sit and drink coffee from an off-white victor mug that never empties.

to aspire to @strange.website is to aspire to God

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

damn this web components shit got me honkin like a goose

explaining to my mom that I was recently referred to on Shop Talk Show as the "top social media follow" and the "dril of web development" and her explaining in return that I'm "still not allowed to come home"

it brings me no great displeasure to inform that the chasing of quantitative data as truth & meaning will not bring you success in the battlefields of love! do not turn your heart over to the chattering bits & bytes of algorithms for they know not its strangeness, its softness, how it refracts light
