😩 I dreamt of her twice, last night. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm in her town and staying at her bestie's. In my dream I was feeling the familiar curve of her waist as she held me. 😐

I explained to her a bunch of feelings I had been feeling post-breakup with her; she (by chance?) had the mental space to listen. Our relationship improved significantly; the overwhelming feelings of awkwardness/threatenedness/inadequacy that I've felt last we've met have much subsided. ⚪🎐

We sat naked in the sauna, among of course lots of other equally-naked friends. We were sitting just a bit too close -- our skin lightly touched, and I deliberately didn't flinch to see what would happen -- and the (very-light) contact was maintained for a couple of seconds. ⚫

She's a genius... by telling me she'll give me a gift, and yet keeping on not getting the gift ready, she's basically ensuring that I'm on her mind and that she's on my mind. 😑🫡

I've already cried briefly at a few tweets/videos/songs -- and I don't even have the space/peace of mind to think and ponder, what exactly I was crying about. The acceleration of chaos is dizzying. 🌪️⚫

After a few days of very "present" time spent... and then hitting the firehose of bullshit news now that I log on again...

The infosphere is filled with so much emotionally-charged content; if not for being in temporarily-heightened sensitivity, I wouldn't have even noticed.

Clicking on the link goes to a 404 Page, despite it having been a story earlier,at 4.20pm, listed on Googles scroll...

It's kind of the opposite of addiction -- perhaps then it's procrastination? -- I resumed my feeling of "the bot just doesn't really work", instead of "it's basically AGI" which I felt earlier. I think the ability of the bots isn't really growing faster than my expectation of them. 🀄

It's good... I'm hitting Claude Code using Sonnet 4.5 again, and I just asked it to build a small demo of a pretty basic concept that's well-documented -- and yet it is struggling. It's also a struggle for me to set up some testing harness for Claude. 🤖 Still hoping for a better bot. 🙏

Hong Kong was where I saw self-organisation happen - spontaneously, at very, very large scale - for the first time.

I think the what's in people's head and what's in people's hearts matter a lot more than the technological enablers. The sense of commitment to the people around you is the key.

Maybe it was Hong Kong that was my gateway into anarchism?? 🇭🇰🏴 bsky.app/profile/keit...

Something special? This is far from a surprise to me -- just because one lives in Europe, it doesn't mean one ceases being Chinese (in the eyes of China).

Before Christmas, I decided to refrain from travel to the US during the coming summer. My decision is becoming more and more justified and vindicated…

> They mistook compassion for weakness. They didn't realize compassion is fighting for those that you care for.

Case study in reading news about China. Here's a BBC article talking about Youxia Zhang 张又侠 www.bbc.com/news/article...

And here's one article readable from within China about the same event, which is totally party-propaganda slop: please experience, www.ccdi.gov.cn/yaowenn/2026...

The phrase "fellow Americans" probably hence still means something to those who are now suffering but fighting. 😭

This kind of social ultimatum/rupture is prosocial, even if counterintuitively: when blatant injustices happen, and you look around, and nobody is drawing the line like this -- it's an incredibly lonely and depressing feeling, evidence that there's nobody left for whom to even fight. ⚫

I honestly don't find the videos more disturbing than the fact that it happened like it did. Honestly I'm grateful that I'm not an American, so that I don't need to feel both the fear and the moral burden to… do something to stop this mad injustice.

This is some display of leadership that feels so… anachronistic. It's so basic, and yet in the present day, even such basic positivity feels so desperately rare. ⚫

I was listening to Radio Suomi 🇫🇮 this morning, just a few minutes ago, and this piece of news made it onto morning news, including the detail "the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot". Yle.fi is pretty quick huh.

Still can't get over the melancholy that, one person is able to make me feel sad whenever I look at some ~quarter of Finland now. 😐💔
