Turing Radius

I have a copy of this somewhere. Sadly I never did get it signed.

My formative years were in a Texas Catholic church run by a Jesuit pastor in the 80s. My dad was vehemently against liberation theology and it was framed as an evil communist corruption of the Church. The Knights created a whole org around fighting its spread in Texas.

Catechism totally comes out with the UnrealTournament/MK voice in my head. :)

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

10 anime to get to know me:
- Cowboy Bebop
- .hack//Sign
- Nausicaä
- GitS: SAC
- Denno Coil
- Azumanga Diaoh
- Noir
- Haibane Renmei
- Dirty Pair: Affair On Nolandia
- Kerberos Saga (Red Spectacles, etc)

I see myself a cross between a Tachikoma & Totoro.

I mean, I have all the right glassware for wine, scotch, cordials, etc, but I only keep the scotch glasses in my office, along with beakers. They're closer ;)

I'm reminded of a scene in Young Sherlock Holmes where he is practicing violin and makes a mistake and screams and is asked what's the matter? He says "I've been at this for weeks, I should have mastered it by now!"

What?

Legs for days, pens for miles, lore for eons.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Matrix's high bar is annoying, but I'll do it if my BBS crew who went to discord go somewhere else, but the rest of the large number of servers? It will depend on the inferrance algo. Discord knows it has to be permiscuous as possible, but it remains to be seen.

I lost a friend today.
One I had planned to visit this year after many years apart & failed attempts. We'd not kept up with one another, but fuck it still hurts a lot. So sick of loss.
Since 2021: parents, job/company/industry, ability to work reliably b/c MCAS+burnout, stability, safety.

So Tired.

Pallas Cats use their tails to keep their beans off the snow. :)

Hot take: IPAs are the Malört of beer.

This is so asking for a multistory loft wall format. The enormity of it requires life size to take in.

As long as you do the emotional labor prior, you should be fine.

Seattle mayor announces plan to block ICE activity, use police to verify federal agent IDs Under the plan, the mayor will issue an executive order prohibiting civil federal immigration authorities from using city-owned and city-controlled properties.

Hey if you live in the greater Seattle area and you approve of Mayor Wilson's plan to ban ICE from using city property, vote Yes in the Komo poll. It's being flooded by right-wing bots.

Democracy isn’t restored by good intentions defeating bad ones. Historically it returns when new binding institutions emerge that can again convert truth into constraint and participation into legitimacy

It sounds like ICE is ramping up in Washington over the weekend. Stay alert

I think the small incontinence pads should be marketed as "MANPADS" with the whole DOD boilerplate on them. Would probably sell better and avoid some uncomfortable discussions.

We are common b/c there are billions of us.
We are small b/c we live within an ecosystem.
We are meek when we don't have solutions.

We are powerful when we stand between community and those who would destroy it, b/c it must be done.

Every fucking day

Everyone who wants a better future in this country and this world is an acomplice. Being an acomplice isn't relevant to the future of your community. Being a source of light is. Standing between the darkness and yours is what must be done. Nothing to this end is small. It all matters.

Fight.

“The proposal is a bad deal negotiated by a lame duck mayor, giving police a big pay raise while allowing them to continue to block accountability and hinder the City’s civilian crisis responders.”

Taking My Side- EP (Studio Version), by Emma Harner 5 track album

Stumbled upon Emma Harner's music tonight, which she calls "math folk" and it fits. Complexity that isn't in its own way and evocative songwriting. And, of course, another touch to Berklee. If this is her starting point, I can't wait to see what comes next.

A community happy to help as much as you're comfortable asking.

An evolving rich story which continues to progress.

A game whose community engagement and continual improvement sets the bar for the entire games industry.

A place I've stayed for over 10 years.

Apex may no longer be with us, but their art remains.
Do more art. Write stuff down. Make music. Take up space.
You'll never know what people need in the moment after you're gone.

There are few songs which make me instantly remember my close friends, b/c they're like a warm hug. This is one.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

YouTube video by Tower Of Power - Topic Squibcakes

I grew up on Tower of Power. Met a member, have signed pic from another. Dad toured with them in Mexico. Cheers to Oakland for such a juggernaut. I still think this session is the tightest performance put in the studio by them.

Take a little time for excellence, as a treat.
