A thing I miss about the pandemic is my sister's deep-dives in genealogy and the text messages at 2am saying stuff like "did you know one of grandpa's ancestors was cousins with a guy who murdered the Duke of Buckingham in a pub???" as if that can't wait for a face-to-face.

I was on the front porch once and I saw a floofy little feather float by like in the opening scene of Forrest Gump. Then another. Then I noticed a small cloud of them drifting along the street. It was all kinda pretty until I traced the source to a hawk perched in a tree shredding a fresh catch.

Identity politics were never substantial enough to build a whole worldview around, but people did it anyway and now we'll be pushing back against tribal supremacy for the next two decades. Cool. Cool cool cool.

I think it's time to have a long think about precisely what kind of value sports provide and compare that to the value we've assigned them. I don't think that equation is very balanced, but that's just a hypothesis.

When someone accuses me of distributing "AI slop" it doesn't just demonstrate that they didn't read it, it gives real "transvestigator" vibes. Think about that for a while, and then never say it to me again.

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback: Allowing a population conditioned to want non-stop streams of "content" with low semantic value to train AI to continue that cycle and call it "alignment" Sounds legit. What could go wrong?

The thing about getting up on your proverbial soap box is that it leaves you vulnerable to someone proverbially kicking it out from under you when you talk shit. I don't make the rules.

The supposed em-dash controversy is really doing a lot to separate the actual writers from the armchair critic and bandwagon-jumper crowd. I'm sorry if you stopped taking an interest in the craft in the tenth grade, but that's kind of a "you" problem.
