It's essential I bring this up again after all the Brighton fiasco.
It's essential I bring this up again after all the Brighton fiasco.
Why do people hate my team? Why the deep resentment toward Arsenal Football Club?
I THINK I finally understand why. It took me a while because I kept looking for the wrong thing. I kept looking for something weβd done. Turns out the crime is something we are.

Good evening to you too, Claude. I miss you.
I tried to make sense of βchunkingβ, and the people-pleaser in me is not happy with this decision.

I want to see the world, but Iβm afraid of flights. The universe has a strange sense of humor.
Someone asked me what success looks like and honestly it's just being senior enough that my emails can be:
"sounds good"
Instead of..
"Hi! Thank you so much for sending this over. I've reviewed everything and it all looks great.. "
No greeting, no signature. Just words. That's the entire goal.
Pfft.. Google is better anyway.
I hate that while reading this bit - "imagine youβre explaining the topic to the smartest people you knowβon their very first day at a new job. Your role is to orient them, equipping them with the knowledge they need to make decisions..."
My mind went straight to - ooo this'll be a good prompt!
The amount of ads I'm getting on Instagram is pissing me off. Did something change recently? Or did I press a button or something?
Woke up to the news that Arsenal drew. Friday ruined.
Everyone's posting AI caricatures showing them as passionate professionals surrounded by their tools of the trade. Mine drew me holding a phone... checking what everyone else posted.
Yeah I don't think we're gonna touch grass anymore.

I LOVE to hear this guy talk. We can't see him but we definitely can feel him.
Only way I can keep up with all the amazing SEO content surfacing out there every single day: paste them into a WhatsApp group where I just share stuff with myself and read it whenever I get some time to breathe.
I must say, I share some pretty insightful things.
Thereβs something very comforting about knowing that even great scientists face similar issues as us normies.
First time reading Dostoevsky and White Nights starts strong. Iβm usually a slow reader, but once the narrator starts spilling yeaarrss of loneliness all at once, I found myself reading it in one breath, just to keep up with his energy and intensity lol. Method reader much?

The Stranger by Albert Camus
The Stranger was a very unsettling read. You know youβre fucked when the protagonist(?) starts making sense in some way.
You ever just be standing in an elevator thinking 'what if the cable snaps right now'
no?
well I did and it turned into this whole thing about control and chaos

Quote of the day: "Pretty websites don't sell things. Words sell things." - Donald Miller
I've started questioning Instagram reels that are too good to be true. Oh it's bad out here!
Something interesting is happening at the IETF, far from the usual AI headlines.
A new working group is exploring standardized signals that let publishers say how their content can be used by AI systems.
Subtle work, but worth paying attention to.

Itβs comforting to know even lexicographers have reached their limit.
I love that comparison!
I think the real ingredient isnβt smoking or natureβs call, but having a space where itβs normal to step out of the main event and be briefly human together. The washroom totally fits that lol.
And itβs nice that it doesnβt require nicotine.. fluorescent lighting is enough.
Ever notice how smokers disappear in pairs and come back best friends? Meanwhile I refill my water bottle alone and return spiritually unchanged. Wrote about the quietly genius social advantage of people with lighters.

When my dad passed away, a lot of unexpected people showed up for me. They didnβt have to, and some of them were people Iβd had problems with until two weeks ago, yet they still came to help me. I like to believe humans are wonderful.
Sending all the love and strength, Wil! β€οΈ
