Drunk texting national security secrets is some kind of weird flex. This can't be real.

Turns out the only parts of the constitution that matter are the ones that let you shoot guns and use racial slurs. I should have seen this coming.

I installed 5 calls to help regularly bothering my representatives. It's more productive than scrolling here, uninstalling this for a bit.

The school had a fundraiser where the kids sold frozen pizzas from a local restaurant and I was a pizza delivery driver tonight. I like it better when they sell candy, because my involvement is to immediately eat candy. Normal things still happen. And I am boring.

On the one hand I'm impressed with the increase in code quality written by the latest LLMs. On the other hand, I'm terrified of the fact that the industry I've worked in for decades is eating its own tail- just before it comes for the rest of you.

If only I could solve all problems by going to the hardware store and asking the old man what I'm supposed to do. Home ownership is fun.

I finished American Primeval last night. It's kind of haunting, but mostly historically accurate. Some early Mormons did some dark stuff. Obviously I continued to make good choices for my mental health. Today is another day.
