Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

I guess it's time to watch CASABLANCA

Y'all I'm not happy about it but software is about to get weird.

It's been slowly getting less reliable over the last 25 years,

but AI is going to cause developers and software companies to build stuff they kinda wanted but not quite what they meant and they're gonna just go with it.

This is amazing

okay that's weird

I get it, I'm disappointed, but how can I be mad at two fantastic books?

The announcement sure, but not the intention

Tough to be Robin Hobb, but it's not hubris. That thinking stifles big ideas. I'd rather two books than an artist with reasonable goals

I've personally killed many things before starting because I thought "who am I to take on this masterwork" and now none of y'all get to see my attempts

Reminds me of the composition in one of my sister's paintings.

If you haven't listened to this series I highly recommend it. And not just because I'm on episode two 😇

So go listen then join the game jam!

I plan on trying out some of the other prompts. Should be fun!

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

My good friend @collinjryan.bsky.social and Ihave been talking about exploration for years. We're not done with that, but we did write an article for Storygames Chicago.

Definitions -> discontent -> hope.

Go read it and come back to talk about it!

The Farseer Trilogy is among the best literature I've ever read

Always work on what moves you to work.

Let them all be your magnum opus if that moves you.

One after another.

More from historian Thomas Zimmer's thread. In short, MAGA atrocities will shrink their support. But even when the WSJ & FOX plead with him to moderate, Trump will use more outrages & violence bc that's all he knows.

Our simple rule remains: DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE.

A big difference between humor and art is that art gets better when it's explained

Fixing your heart is, for us born into our arsenal of privilege in the world's most empire, both a lifelong undertaking requiring discipline, patience, perspective, and good teachers, and a necessary first step toward reclaiming your self.

It's our essential duty and our most precious opportunity.

Super relevant to the modern world.

Machines that dominate our lives and dwarf our stature yet cannot persist without us. And cannot fear or love.

This is very good

One thing that Treacherous Winds of teaching me is the particular power that questions have to cut through baggage and the mundane to answers that surprise and delight both asker and answerer.

If you want to know what I'm talking about go play Pasión de las Pasiones by @blg.bsky.social

Y'all. I'm building an ELF machine

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?
