Oh shit.

Q. Why does it seem like Nazis are everywhere online? A. The Nazis are using AI to power bot farms. Normal people are not flooding the zone with AI generated posts and comments with their political opinions, or even with stories of their normal lives. It’s asymmetrical information warfare.

You: They did the math. Me: ᵀʰᵉʸ ᵈⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿˢᵗᵉʳ ᵐᵃᵗʰ You: What was that? Me: Nothing. Me three hours later in a whisper: ᴵᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵃ ᵍʳᵃᵛᵉʸᵃʳᵈ ᵍʳᵃᵖʰ

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

Next steps for the synth: finish rewriting my pitch table generator in python instead of C# because my C# dev environment got fucked. My old midi to CV converter output 0 volts as A and my Arturia Keystep does not Also need to completely start over again on the envelope generator.

Got my synth set up with a keyboard for the first time since The Move. (I lost my homemade midi->CV converter and it still hasn’t shown up) This new keyboard has CV outs but I had to wire some mini jack -> breadboard adapters (altos tin) Keyboard is being played by my 4yo

My kids are playing outside in the snow and I opened the back door to check on them and I heard them chanting “sled jump! sled jump!” And I closed the door because that is simply none of my business

If you ever competitively stacked cups in gym, it was thanks to Kit Fox’s dad. (This is one of the best things I’ve read in a long time. Trust me and go read this.) defector.com/if-you-ever-...

Played DANDELIONS in Boggle and my body turned into pure light.

If I make a folder of sweet content to look at when things get too dark, this def goes in there.

Using our position of authority to get our own way, serve our own ends, crush others, and silence and frighten them is an ungodly use of power.

in retrospect I think it may have been a mistake to make the work machine and the procrastination machine be the same machine

A lot has happened in these six days, but it's still only been six days. Breathe, eat, hydrate, shower. Connect with our communities, online or in person. Ground ourselves a bit, so we don't burn out. Try to have a good Sunday.

When the church shows “grace” to an abuser in response to a few approved words and some tears, we have done added damage to the victim, risked the safety of others, and left the abuser with a disease that will rot their soul.

No jurisdiction that has reduced homelessness has ever done the following: - frame the solution as the problem - reduce housing and supports - turn low-income housing into high-income housing - use human lives as a negotiating tool www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

My first piece from this project:

In which a shut-in sets foot outside his home for the first time in several months, lured by South Texas snow so rare he's only seen it maybe three times in his 45ish years of living here, to leave a humble and fleeting mark on the world. #photography #handprint #snow #shut-in #b&w

When we hear justifications, excuses, blaming, or a focus on the sins of another, we can be sure we do not have true repentance.

1. Do cool things with designing circuits, which in my mind was basically “electrical legos” 2. Electrical engineer 3. Real electrical engineers use math, specifically a type of math I had a problem with, so I switched to computer science 4. I’m a software developer

Who will you help today? It's very difficult for 1 person to survive in the forest by themselves. Even a relatively mild forest like the Pacific Northwest. It's much easier for 6 people to survive. Humans naturally want to work as a group and help each other.👍🏿 600,000 people is called Portland.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

God, grant me the mental peace and the spiritual strength to keep being kind and compassionate to these motherfuckers I feel like Mr. Rogers in the middle of trench warfare (Please don’t jump to conclusions about who the motherfuckers are. It’s not important as there are many contenders)

It’s a new year! I’m so excited for my new notebook to finally make me organized unlike the loser notebooks I got every previous year.
