zipping around the little hallways at work so that I can get my steps in

oscillating between "this org is so dysfunctional that i am in danger" and "this org is so dysfunctional that I am safe"

The vibes are so off in all ways and all things right now. It's crazy

The world is trying to drive me crazy because I expect the things people say to be true.

Thank you Julius Randle for your 41 points tonight.

Watching the Bondi hearing really reminds you that it's a miracle that any amount of governing works at all with the bad faith discourse.

You shouldn't punch down Ryan.

Better start warming up Joe Ingles

Accidentally becoming important at the caucus was not on my bingo card but here we are.

Saaaammneeeeeeeee. But also I see you all over lol

This weekend the musical at my church delivered a giant rent relief check. It was beautiful to see the hard work that our kids and parents and community put in come together in a beautiful performance that could be used to support real families. Wins need celebration 🎉

That's actually part of the fascism.

Laughed at my favorite podcast today. This is a win in Minneapolis right now.

Media literacy is in the toilet. Oh a game where I am an eco terrorist who's main antagonists are a monopoly that actively kills poor people and an ethno-supremacist? This must mean nothing politically.

The only real answer to this is a currency they don't have and we won't exchange with them.

This game radicalized me (complimentary)

New Pope went to Villanova. We're getting an all timer DDV game tonight

Twice a year everyone should feel that the government simply does not care about the will of the American populace or is impotent to do common sense reform.

I have never talked to an American family that wants Daylight Savings Time.

2020: shut in
2025: lock in

I have vibe coded for a long time since before ai. Everything I have ever built unplanfully has been fun but trash.

enterprise brain:

would you pay someone $5k more a year to be more efficient?

yes.

would you pay for $5k worth of software for them to do this?

Lilbud runs on battery now. I have no idea how long the charge will last so he's getting an overnight soak.

Lilbud sort of reminds me that i got into this to make pixels move in a funny way with nothing but sheer will power and books and websites and friends.

He doesn't _do_ anything. And that's kind of the point. This whole thing is an exercise in what made me enjoy coding to begin with. In my career I have gotten so far away from creative to the point that I've actively said lately that "we actually need to do way more boring shit and not innovation"

gn. Enough hacking for the evening. Lilbud can move through some feelings now. Still not super happy about the frame rate but even beyond writing the driver from scratch, there's some optimization I can do.

His battery comes tomorrow. Then I need to print a case and he's street legal.
