👋 hi, since I haven’t done an intro - I LOVE systems and how people interact with them. It’s why I explore documentation, automation, security and astro. It’s why I have strong opinions about the entire process tree and different tools. Severe ADHD made it a must-learn so I’ll help where I can ❤️

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”

For a crafting and audiobook escapism, I cannot recommend Of Monsters and Mainframes enough. Sci-Fi, 2SLGBTQIA+, and wholly amazing! Found this on @libro.fm from curated book lists.

It helps if you try to read this as if he’s Gaston singing in Beauty and the Beast
He really wants admiration, recognition, and validation.
It’s all grandiosity and self-magnification. He has this desire to build legitimacy, it’s rooted in needing to demonstrate competence rather than simply experience it.
It’s shows he is hypersensitive to criticism or perceived

We need to follow Finland's lead in teaching our children how to recognize mis/disinformation and propaganda.
We also need to seriously look at upgrading our education, as European countries have.

If you ever think nukes are “cool for the physics” - I would say should also be required to read “The Making of The Atomic Bomb” as goes into gory, horrific detail the awful deaths and experiences of bomb survivors. (Yes, the physics is neat. But no, we shouldn’t have nukes)
