My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

for more than a decade activists have been sounding the alarm on Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis, two innocuous-seeming companies whose data collection and law enforcement cooperation is unmatched across the USG. they're Palantir with nicer masks

I know that 2 km (1.3mi) may not seem like much but it was monumental compared to how hard it's been for me to even leave the house to go grab coffee from around the corner.

I'm sorry to say that getting outside of the anxiety spiral and moving your body actually *does* help.

I still need to punch things though, so boxing classes are still on the list for this year.

Mental health win: Didn't waste the gorgeous day in an anxiety spiral.

Actually went outside for errands, sat & worked in a coffee shop, and walked back home instead of taking the bus (2 km).

The most unhinged thing about modern life is that we've normalised paying $200 a month for the gym and $300 a month for wellness "supplements" but if someone charges $5 for a newsletter they wrote with their actual brain people act like they've been mugged at knifepoint

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

It's the second-to-last Monday in this job and I'm working very limited hours. Which is good considering I don't have a lot of energy for small talk and pretending like I care about business KPIs as the world burns.

The bar near my house is currently playing my favorite songs from the 90s and it's nice enough to have my windows open, so I'm just bopping to their playlist while working in the comfort of my apartment.

Vibes without the crowds.

My transition doc is already 3 pages long and I just remembered about 3 more tasks I manage, which will add at least 2 more pages to the doc.

I almost feel bad for my replacement.

So, Farrah lived in Seattle for 9 years (ya know, known for its "rainy" weather) but she still hasn't gotten used to the actual rainy weather in Istanbul (ya know, actual rain with downpours and thunder).

It's really cute to see her ears perk up when the rain starts coming down.
