I keep thinking about Clarke’s quote that ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,’ and wonder… then perhaps any sufficiently advanced vocabulary is now indistinguishable from Gen-AI — at least to those who don’t read or write. #RandomMusing

My key takeaway from the past weeks of political and economic madness originating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. is to remind myself not to think of the future as a linear extrapolation of how we got to where we are today. It's challenging but very liberating and empowering at the same time. (And yes, in hindsight the beginning of the global Covid pandemic in 2020 was a similar tipping point.) #tarrifs #COVID19 #randommusing

I've hit this strange cadence with my creative energy these days where I'm good for about 15-20 minutes of doing something, then I have to crash back out of the flow. Wait 20-40 min and repeat. As someone who tends to hyper focus once I hit a flow, this is a very, very strange experience.

I've decided to take it as a good thing, evidence that I'm moving forward with things that are important to me while still being attentive to what energy I actually have available.

Just consciously realised that Darkwing Duck has the same number of syllables as roasted duck 🤔🤭

Not sure there's an audience here for this but I enjoyed writing it. #ShirleyJackson #TheHauntingOfHillHouse

🧵Shirley Jackson is my favorite author. THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is my favorite book.

It's masterful. It's tight. It's ambiguous and frightening. It's a *perfect* novel: a flawless example of plot, pacing, characterization, and ambiguity by a WOMAN- which results in a very specific kind of anxiety and dread- unlike any other book at the time.

You ever think about how the O in do and don't are pronounced differently?

  • Do is kinda like doo.
  • Don't is kinda like doh-n't.

Imagine if they were consistent.

  • I doo and I doo-n't.
  • I doh and I doh-n't.

If you have to take it by mouth, it should be called an Oralgesic.

What exactly is He-Man's armor meant to protect? It doesn't really cover anything at all. He might as well just be topless. Or was it meant only as a place to locate his white supremacist adjacent emblem? 🤔

Is the voice of reason soprano, alto, baritone, or bass? 🤔
