My dinner was 6 Fazoli’s breadsticks, a Diet Coke, and some ice cream and I feel like that accurately reflects the times we’re living through

Tech meetings in 2025: dozens of people sitting through hour long meetings rewriting an AI generated document that is 95% incorrect

Trying (and failing) not to weep uncontrollably while listening to the end of rhythm of war while eating soup by myself in a Vietnamese restaurant is a very specific vibe

I’ve always thought the internet is a double edged sword but with the rise of toxic alpha podcasts and the insidious strength of algorithmic pipelines I’m starting to think it’s skewing more bad than good

Thanos might have been onto something, but instead of eliminating 50% of the universe’s population he should have snapped away those holding 50% of all wealth. Although Tony Stark has to be sacrificed in this scenario as well (and for legal reasons this is a joke, I do not have the infinity stones)

Finally saw the Minecraft movie (man of culture that I am). I was surprised that the first 20 minutes of the film were spent worldbuilding the real/non Minecraft world in a way that somehow evoked both Roald Dahl and Napoleon Dynamite in equal measure. Probably the best part of the movie

Being a parent is like being stuck in a time loop where you get your kid a snack only to find yourself immediately back in the kitchen as if nothing happened the first time

I have a recurring dream about this one incredible book that is better than any other book in the world and right as I find it I wake up and realize it doesn’t exist

Took my kids to see Mufasa and the music in it is so bad it’s kind of impressive. They also made Skar an incel which is maybe the only entertaining thing about this AI-ridden mess of a movie

There are too many apps to check, too many feeds to scroll endlessly, too many notifications to clear. Tempted to trade my smartphone for a flip phone (who am I kidding I'm addicted to all these apps)

Finally broke my 1+ month reading slump! The secret? PlayStation network simply had to shut down for nearly 24 hours

Now that the Game Awards nominees have been announced, I have 2.5 weeks to play Metaphor re Fantazio, Black Myth Wukong, Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd, and Balatro, so that I can fairly cast my vote. Should be doable!

Nothing helps me write more than the feeling that I’m helping a grumpy wizard exhume records of a long-forgotten darkness #writing #gandalfthegrey #gondor #ancienttexts
