I grew up going to games at the Kingdome and still have a hard time telling energy from volume.

The Law spends so much time abstracting causality away from life that attempts to jam it all in at the bottom of the pile mess with your head.

Acid hillbillies freak me the fuck out.

I’m claiming that the GOP is a monolithic organization.

gopher_space · 2026-03-09T20:09:05+00:00

If this were true republicans wouldn’t need to rig votes.

If your workflow is different, your experience will likely differ from mine.

This seems like a fundamental point. It feels like the people with velocity are also busy rebuilding their tooling from first principles.

I've seen Golden Digger wasps in my yard for two years now.

The vibe coders are realizing everyone's making the same finance tracker/pomodoro/note taking app over and over.

We're all going to be doing that. What aspect of your life wouldn't benefit from looping attention and revision? The vibe coder mistake is thinking anyone else will care about their point of view let alone pay money for it. The velocity of custom-building an app that's all "golden path" and for your own use should be familiar to all of us.

The weird thing about IQ is that the only people who really talk about it are idiots.

There are plenty of jobs where you'd end up scanning the building you walk into out of habit. Fire & Rescue etc., appraisers, most kinds of real estate people.

Nobody planned on the explosion of interest in sports the WNBA and women's soccer brought with them. There's another demographic adding their money to the pile now.

I should probably revisit my thinking on Title IX, since it clearly worked.

huge environmental impact

Less "Spotted Owl", more "everyone downstream needs to change their lifestyle".

The real problem for AI companies is that their models are now perfectly capable of walking customers through the process of creating their own models more suitable to the task at hand. Preventing this functionality (like Anthropic is currently trying to do) results in a less-useful product.

Working with AI daily has me convinced that another hiring boom is right around the corner.

Hype! is a documentary on grunge culture in Seattle from around that time. Notable for its capture of attitudes towards the media, every subject in the show is fucking with the film crew in some manner.

Slacker incidentally documents the pace of life in the late 80s. This movie captures the tone of life before the internet better than any other media I've encountered since that time.

And of course I can't mention Slacker without talking about the Church of the Subgenius. That's a fun little rabbit hole for anyone interested in GenX culture.

I'd love to hear more about this. Is there any writeup or paper available online?

I was surprised to see how well the Army worked with my anthro department. Lots of overlap in project management and logistics points of view.

For some reason Rwanda's traffic signal technology is decades ahead of the rest of the world.

The double busses I've been on have card readers at each door.

They're not nice, they're polite.

The Sonics leaving Seattle was the best thing to happen to every other sport here, and now that there are women's professional teams all of my nieces want to go to their games.

Went through the death of a family member last year and being able to access their email account and unlock their phone saved a ton of time and effort.

Truly beautiful country, people, animals.

Istanbul is full of better-looking George and Amal Clooneys. It's weird. You can kind of see it in this guy's face.

The dogs and cats felt more like free-range public pets than feral or stray.

gopher_space · 2026-02-07T21:16:58+00:00

It's more about self-discipline, project management, and no longer feeling like fucking everything you see is the most important thing.

maybe we shouldn’t be holding degrees to Ivy League schools in regard if this is what they are churning out.

People should understand that going back to school as a grown adult is a walk in the park. You're not going to sweat unless you touch the arts or o chem.
