Name a kid’s cartoon that was (meaning, not current or within the past couple of years) better than you remember. Superhero cartoons don’t count.

First-hand knowledge is the most honest kind. Otherwise, it is just belief. And even then, you can be wrong. #life

Be reliable. #life #success

I sort of miss programming on a DECwriter (teletype). There was something satisfying in literally pushing a key down and seeing punch-paper tape spew out. You were creating something. Now, everything you do is just feeding an LLM without any real result. #programming #dec

When was the last time you prowled?

“The emperor is insane and making shit up. That doesn’t make them creative.” #writing #character

If you don’t question why someone chooses to do something, you are enabling and agreeing with that person. Either that of you don’t care or fear standing up to them. Bullies at all levels leverage that knowledge. #life #failure

Overheard: “I’ll have an idea … “ So you have an idea you’ll have an idea. Very meta and not useful..

“Death has a way of teaching you, if you don’t die first.” #writing #life

“I want t make money.” “I want to help others.” “I don’t care.”

Ideas you keep to yourself are secrets. Ideas are meant to be shared. #life #productivity

Optimism is what you have when you can’t afford pessimism. #life

I’m learning Kotlin. Why? Why not? It’s a decent language syntax-wise, but requires a JVM? WTF? #programming #kotlin

A habit is something you wish you did regularly. It’s not something you do regularly. That’s called “part of your life”. #life #productivity #habit

“No one should lead a life they do not enjoy.” #writing

My sense of humor has been suffering again. I wonder why.

“Everyone dreams of having a cult, but most fear the consequences. A few go on to lead.” #writing

The more you want, the less you believe yu have. #life #failure

How do you know your partner isn’t an AI-generated construct? Especially if your partner is predictably and repetitively boring or on the verge of insanity? #writing #ai

It’s springlike here. That’s a good thing, because it’s officially spring. Nice warm day, cherry trees are in bloom, spring peepers peep at night and the birds sing during the day.

Greetings. Relax. Play a game. Drink water. Remember to breathe. If it’s that important, they’ll come and get you. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — not much of anything

Happy Alien Abduction Day Seems like we do that a lot nowadays.~
