Walking penny in shorts and a jacket this morning and my neighbor is wearing full on winter clothes and says “I don’t know how you do it homie, I’m freezing”. It was 60 degrees out, in Chicago this is a beach day.

Told a student “I’ve been around a long time, I know a lot of people” and I saw death walk 2 inches closer to me.

A few years ago I got in super good shape watching all of 150 hours of Bleach while running on my treadmill. Now it’s time to do it again and watch all 460 hours of One Piece while riding my exercise bike.

After not going back for nearly 5 years, I’ve somehow found myself in 2 different Google offices in as many months.

If you cannot even barely move forward in fractional fucking increments, how does anyone ever accomplish anything in this nightmare, you're doing it right. The feeling is just that excruciating. Creative writing is pain. And if you ever get to feel actual joy in it for like one moment, live más

Stewart was my favorite professor. Every video he drops is like a free lecture from his class and they are the opposite of boring, like Vox style videos on architecture. youtu.be/DBOXF-FION4?...

Dems naming their little go nowhere bills after silly puns or things they think are clever shows how unserious they are about mounting a true opposition. Be serious.

Tech companies are betting it all on AI, which is in a nebulous legal state. They will sacrifice anything, their employees, goodwill, etc. and bow to politicians to make it work because they have no plan b for the next decade. That alone should give us pause.

Google ending their DEI policies to comply with trumps orders as a govt contractor is insane. That company is unrecognizable to me now, and I gave 11 years to them. So sad for all my former colleagues.

I’m really conflicted about living in LA but one thing I don’t take for granted is living near my brother. One of my favorite people.

all of this is careening toward "we're gonna use AI to traffic control airplanes" and eventually we all just get used to a major crash once every week or so just like we did with school shootings

I’m getting a strong sense that tech workers are unhappy with their leaders cozying up to authoritarian leaders just to ensure the viability of AI. They’ve run out of ideas for infinite growth and if AI is a bust, theyre going to scramble as they bleed talent who are disillusioned.

We’re going to be hearing a lot about meritocracy over the next few years. A lot of people will buy into the idea of “the most qualified are the ones that should be doing the work” which ignores years of research that says unconscious bias in hiring means many qualified candidates are ignored.

One thing I miss about Chicago is walking home late at night as it’s softly snowing, when the city feels really quiet. Anyone who lives there knows this feeling.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I love David Lynch. Most of his films are difficult and obtuse, but they were what he wanted to make. I don’t even like some of them, but I love that he treated the medium as art and not products. And he was just cool as hell. RIP legend.

Oh great, half the cities I’ve lived in are going to get worse news. When’s the last time an AI went into hurricane aftermaths to interview people whose lives have been devastated and showed them compassion? The hubris of AI is believing editorializing and summary pieces are news.

Had a growl off with Penny today. She thinks she’s so tough but she can’t keep up the facade and breaks into a kissing frenzy when she knows she’s lost.

Had really bad anxiety last night about work. I had a very big project that kicked off today and I was stressed. Imagine my surprise when it all went as I had planned and nothing failed. Like why don’t I trust myself? I’ve been doing this for 20 years.
