Oh my got it!

Battery low.

Fuck, what was that? My phone? Watch… no!

My headphones!

Everyone’s reactions to AI-tech is a lot more telling about ya’ll than me. :smiley:

And to history I leave evidence of our indiscretion.

Deploying federal troops against protesters is not ā€œgreatā€. It weakens our security in the world.

Today I was prompted, ā€œIf you could become an expert at anything overnight, it would beā€¦ā€, and immediately knew my answer.

It got me thinking, and I had a particular thought that I’ve always kinda understood, but have never seen plainly stated.

There is more knowledge than any single person can physically comprehend or access.

This is the lens by which I view the world, which may help many of you understand my perspective. :slight_smile:

Each time you call it, ā€œTwitter/Xā€, I lose a little respect for you.

The more I think about the word ā€œnonsense,ā€ the more it amuses me! :laughing:

  • Oddly secure packaging for a normal food item :white_check_mark:
  • Name composed of random nouns :white_check_mark:
  • Cookie! :white_check_mark:

And yet…

…there is no cannabis inside this cookie!

I accidentally pinned a tab in Firefox, and suddenly I get it. :laughing:

It pinned this site, which makes so much sense for me!

I had a thought while walking to the market, and it makes so much sense: Mario and Luigi are from the far far far future, where people live in enclaves who reject mainstream society and live as they think their ancestors did.

This would explain why they are super cool with teleportation, dinosaurs, energy weapons, uplift, and wearing white gloves as a plumber in NYC.

omfg do we still not have a :squinting_incredulously: emoji?!

The worst part is not having the sense of purpose that emerges from helping folks I care about, deeply.

And yet… I am able to address this issue, directly.

I’m maiki. I can do anything.

And wow, look good doing it. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I was just barred from entering a Whole Foods due to a ā€œCode Adamā€.

When asked for ā€œa descriptionā€ over the walkie-talkie the situation was deescalated: ā€œit’s a six year oldā€


:thinking:

Ahem… how the fuck is this a situation?!

:person_shrugging:

It seems like figuring out how to synchronize a filesystem with an SQLite database without breaking would be gold. :thinking:

So many challenges, a couple of actual crisis situations, happened this week… I think it came full cycle and I’m encountering euphoria once again.

Tokyo 2026

The last day has been an intense day of international flights and crowded trains of polite people. It followed an intense week of unscheduled oral surgery, car accidents, and school applications… :face_exhaling:

Waking up this morning, rested and in Tokyo, I feel the intensity of those activities fade and open myself up to whatever I may find in this liminal spacetime. :smiley:

For years I would occasionally use spellcheck on my posts to be published. Now I use an LLM agent to read my text.

I use terminology that is beyond LLM capabilities at this point. Yet, I still have this experience when I request an LLM to proofread my posts, and everything returns okay.

Boom. You agree with me, LLM. I crushed it. The secret: I’ve always felt this way publishing, even while littering my literature with misspellings and typographic errors. My kid is unforgiving of such defencices in my speech and writing, yet the rest of ya’ll get the gist. :slight_smile:

Perhaps the most flattering self-realization/delusion: upon using Tokyo public transit with others, I begin to see the ineffenicies of the existing train lines.

I’m going to start using multi-modal transportation to understand more about hot it works; that means I’m taking buses for part of the journey.

Today is a turning point. :slight_smile:
