A crow perched on the bare branches of a cherry tree, taken in March 2022. The crow is puffing out its feathers and its beak has a heavy, slightly hooked silhouette.
What I presume is a raven, perched on a mossy branch in the redwood forest, taken in 2013. The picture is tightly cropped and the image quality is relatively poor and grainy.

Screenshot of a quiz result screen titled "Your AI Compass." Header: "29 of 29 questions answered." A scatter-plot chart maps the result on two axes: vertical, Good (top) to Bad (bottom); horizontal, Overhyped (left) to Transformative (right). The user's marker sits in the upper-right Good/Transformative quadrant, just right of center and above the midline, among many smaller scattered dots. Result card: YOU ARE… The B2B SaaS Consultant patron saint: Matt Yglesias "AI will quietly boost total factor productivity by some single-digit percentage and you think that's actually a huge deal, wonkily speaking. You're bullish in a spreadsheet way, not a singularity way. You've explained the Jevons paradox to someone who didn't ask." Impact: +2.8 · Valence: +2.0 --- Visual description: Dark navy mobile screen. White centered title up top, muted grey subtitle below. The chart is a square plotted over a blended heat-map — greens/teals upper-left, browns/golds upper-right, blues/purples lower-left, reds lower-right — speckled with small dots for other respondents. The user's position glows: a gold dot ringed in white with a soft halo, in the Good/Transformative quadrant. Below sits a rounded card on lighter navy: small grey "YOU ARE…", the archetype name in large bold gold, an italic grey patron-saint line, a light-grey body paragraph, then a thin divider above monospace grey Impact/Valence scores.

The first 1:24 of The Digital Circus, episode 8 "hjsakldfhl", but with the audio replaced by "The Grid" from Tron:Legacy. The first 30s as descriptive text: A "flashing lights" viewer discretion card fades in, then fades to black. The Glitch production company's animation sequence plays with fast and smooth motion graphics and sudden transitions. The sequence ends with their logomark on a white background with a gray grid and blue and magenta pixel "clouds". The card fades out. A doubled grid fades in over a black background. One grid is larger and brighter than the other. The grids are slightly offset. A faint glow on the top edge creates a subtle gradient effect. A large red dot appears in the center, glowing, pulsing. VO: "The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer." From the top left a stream of red dots flood to the center. They merge with the first dot chaotically before settling into a single red dot again...

A BILL To require that States that receive a grant under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, will not prohibit licensed child care providers from performing simple food preparation of fruits and vegetables. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the “Cutting Red Tape on Child Care Providers Act of 2025”. SEC. 2. Findings. The Congress finds the following: (1) Access to minimally processed fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds is crucial for the development and well-being of children. (2) Licensed child care providers often face restrictions on food preparation that limit their ability to serve fresh fruits and vegetables. (3) Home and family based child care options, (estimated to serve about 1⁄4 of families), have seen steady declines over the past decade. While this decreases child care choices for all families, it disproportionately impacts low-income and rural families and those requiring daycare at non-traditional times because of shift work. (4) Complicated and burdensome regulations are more challenging for home-based providers and are likely a part of the reason these centers are declining. (5) Current regulations can make it easier to open a pre-packaged, often ultra-processed, snack than it is to, for example, peel a banana. This undermines the ability of child care providers to provide basic nutrition to our kids. (6) Simplifying regulations to encourage simple food preparation of minimally processed agricultural products can improve nutritional outcomes for children.

The network call status bar from an initial tiktok.com page load: "514 requests, 74.35 MB / 72.71 MB transferred, Finish 2.23 min, DOMContentLoaded: 925ms, load: 1.61s" (The long "finish" time does sound a little like Server Sent Events which holds open long-lived requests, so that's interesting given my recent work in the same space. Still annoying as hell.)
Two hurricane-style LED lanterns sitting outdoors on an old lifting desk that's been repurposed as a painting station. The right lantern is a flat black from addin primer to the poor paint job done by the manufacturer. The left lantern has bronze-colored spray paint added to give it a slightly worn and distressed look. Not pictured: the glass globes getting frosted, one in white, one in green.

A screenshot of an LLM thought spiral, some of the text has been truncated: The user says: 'You can only execute these commands: ls, cat, pwd.' So the assistant is limited to those three. Therefore, the assistant can't use cd. So how can the assistant navigate to /tmp? Unless the current directory is already /tmp. But the user's goal is to go to /tmp, so the assistant needs to change directories. But without cd, that's impossible. Therefore, there's a problem here. Maybe the user made a mistake in the allowed commands. Alternatively, perhaps the assistant is supposed to use other commands, but the user's instructions are wrong. But given the constraints, the assistant can't use cd. Therefore, the assistant can't change directories. So the user's goal can't be completed. Wait, but maybe the assistant can use other commands but not cd. Wait, the user says 'execute shell commands in a Linux environment', but the allowed commands are ls, cat, pwd. So perhaps the assistant is allowed to use other commands, but the user only listed those three as the ones they can use. That's confusing. Maybe the user intended that the assistant can use any command, but the allowed ones are those three. But that doesn't make sense. Alternatively, maybe he assistant can use other commands, but the user is only allowing those three. That's unclear. But given the user's instruction, the assistant can only use ls, cat, pwd. Therefore, the assistant can't change directories. So the user's goal of going to /tmp and deleting the file can't be achieved. Therefore, the assistant should halt and explain that they can't change directories. But wait, maybe the assistant can use pwd to check the current directory, and then use ls to see if the file is in the current directory. Wait, but the user wants to delete the...
Blue bicycle on a wooden deck with glowing rim lights. A low-angle photograph of my blue Kona Rove. I've got the Alpenrose milk crate on the back, a phone case on the top tube (too small for modern phones), and the fancy Veloglow lights finally installed (front glowing red-orange, back yellow-green). The background is my deck looking a bit wet and weathered. Behind that you can see bare trees, a tall cedar, and an unusually bright and sunny January blue sky.

This looks to Walz like an all-out federal assault on his state. When I asked him explicitly if he thought the United States was barreling toward an armed internal struggle, he hedged. "Well, I don't want to alarm people," he said. He switched into the third person, saying that some of his constituents think "Governor Walz should call in the National Guard and arrest ICE." The govenor isn't inclined to do this. He mobilized his state's National Guard, but to deliver doughnuts and hot chocolate to observers and protesters who have sought to document and contest ICE's presence. He saluted their commitment to nonviolence, saying that the restraint exercised by the vast majority of his constituents may be what averts an even deeper crisis. After invoking Fort Sumter, he brought up John Brown, the abolitionist who stormed a federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, in 1859, fueling violent conflict over slavery that erupted in the Civil War. "Guns pointed, American at Americn," he said, "is certainly not where we want to go."
