My prediction based on the escalation rate and the attitudes being displayed by MAGATs, by the end of the summer we will see a US protest in which you will need your fingers and toes to count the number of protestors killed.

Because it's my all time favourite book and I'd love to read it for the first time again. I haven't picked it up in over a decade in the hope that I forget it completely :D

I am envious!

if i delete all my github repos does that count as a rebirth?

Is it possible to be allergic to certain vibes?

if i tattoo my worst memory on my arm does that count as offloading trauma?

This is such an interesting little time capsule of that moment in time when ChatGPT launched and blew all our minds. It's also evident how much the various LLMs have moved on in some ways but are still making the same mistakes in others. Written by Andy Stanton of Mr Gum fame, so it's hilarious.

How long till the rise of Canadian Freedom Fighters? At some point the rhetoric from Trump will make certain bits of US infrastructure legitimate preemptive targets in plenty of people's eyes.

Cool, will have to check it out.

Raising money to airdrop propaganda leaflets and USBs showing what life is like in the democratic world, away from the control of their dear leader. With your donations we can reach more Republicans.

You can't make an omellete...

There's always a new book coming with Mr Tchaikovsky :D He's like the world's most reliable transit system. You wait 5 minutes for a bus and two come along at once.

Have you played with 2nd person, present tense? Stephen King and Peter Straub's Black House was both weird and really memorable because of it.

Slide to the left...into a timeline where none of this happened.

Let's hope the future shown in Service Model isn't too 'near future'. The first scene with the detective bot was hilarious and plausible enough that I worry it's not that speculative!.

@aptshadow.bsky.social Spoilers for Shroud: The Shrouded's development made me think of a possible similar future for Earth when our AI models end up converging. On that note, have you written anything near future dealing with extrapolating from where ML is at the moment to where we might be soon?

Take heart that we are not definitely in the darkest timeline until we invent life extension technologies while Trump is still alive. There's still hope he keels over in the next few years and doesn't get to become undying God-Emperor of Mankind.

A vision board, except it's for the entire population of the Earth and the only entry on it is Trump's rotting corpse?

Two left feet. Figures.

It would be a real shame if this picked up steam and ended up being posted on screens all over the country.

Well I haven't needed to crack open Elinks style text based terminal web browsers since about 2002, but they actually pair really well with LLM coding agents like Cline and Roo. All pages are rendered in text only, so they can look things up (not Bsky!) autonomously and cheaply. No need for MCP.

So what chapter in the 'The History of Fall of the United States of America' do we think Elon's teenage 4chan hackers breaking the federal payments system will be in. We need a snappy name for the whole debacle.

Assumed it was CGI because they only seemed to show it from one fixed camera.

The worst part of the oncoming technological singularity and the promise of life extension is the possibility of being stuck for eternity in the same universe as you lot.

The Ralphie/Scut Farkus reconciliation arc is the Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy arc we never really got.

They're what causes floaters in the eyeball.

The real blockchain is grandmas giving you $10 at Christmas: untaxed, untraceable, decentralised. Every transaction backed by the gold standard of butterscotch and guilt that you didn't call her.

Only 300 sleeps to go until I power up the Christmas2025 gift tracking spreadsheet. This year added pivot tables tracking total spend per child to ensure I don't accidentally reveal which one I like the best. Will be running the Christmas retro session on the 26th and look forward to their feedback

I literally can't remember the last time I turned into a werewolf and surfed on top of a van. FML.
