Turns out there actually *is* enough time in the day to get things done, lmao, and then some! Chores, art, mutual aid, volunteering, the gym, and so on and so on
It’s been good to have that reminder that the world and the work is there waiting for us when we shun the infinite scroll

It feels silly sometimes, and certainly I’m finding my days to be a bit more solitary than I’m used to, but also—my memory retention is better, my emotional regulation is also better. Intellectually those borders that I felt enclosed by not even two weeks ago are dissolving. It’s good, very good

More broadly, I’ve been really working on turning back toward creating intentional ‘analog‘ spaces: terrestrial radio over streaming, physical books over the doom scroll, reducing app-based social media use almost completely and keeping it housed on my laptop, which never leaves my desk.

Best thing I did for myself in this new year was dig out the old FM radio and turn that baby on each morning
The progressive station I’ve set the dial to is full of news, music, and really edifying political and cultural conversation—it’s given me a sense of place and inspiration in this moment

i'm literally begging some of y'all to read 'The Water Knife' by Paolo Bacigalupi
"DATA CENTER WATER USE DOESN'T MATTER" is one of the silliest arguments I see floating around. unless you think re-writing 200 yr old water law (OG political third rail in the US) is a simple matter, the marginal consumption of new water is literally make or break for much of life in the western US

had a couple of copper fish figurines in my bird bath to keep the water from accumulating too much algae buildup.
this morning, a neighborhood crow picked one of them up and flew away with it. they definitely love their little shiny trinkets.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

i got blocked by someone for suggesting that the tech bros/oligarchs think that losing trillions in an AI bubble is ultimately worth it as a means to an end (top-to-bottom societal control).
I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.
