Sometimes life surprises you.

Most times.

Every goddamn time.

I think we all have our own quirks and I know what you mean. I can’t stand split down, but quite like split right.. As though splitting the screen vertically is somehow a gift while a horizontal split is a kick in the teeth. 🫢

split screen on one works just fine for me. I often use two tabs in obsidian with the same note being edited in different parts and paragraphs, both in a parallel.. By all means, if you have the toys, use them. There may be value in them for you.. but it's no game-changer in my eyes..

And Skills.

Learned the term “performative reading” exists today. Find it quite ironic conceptually, as well as the fact there is now a term for it, as well as the fact that “influencers” are being maligned for it.

Can’t help but if I’ve misunderstood something?

Influencer = Actor.
Performative = Pretending.

Skulls don’t kill people. People kill people.

Right you are there. You can’t be trusting Auto-anything… That be like that Turbo button on the PCs that did nothing but mock you.

big projects you say… i’ll stay tuned in

Haven’t used in a while, but I think I only liked the interface and found it a bit too hollow in terms of community, but I didn’t give it a serious chance tbh.

Goodreads could do with an overhaul, but I like its underlying data. I mostly access it from within Alfred on MacOS, so not too tedious

need some help there buddy?

Don’t know about kids, but I still use it when looking up books. Less of that checking in and discussion stuff.

Although was trying out Fable a while back, seemed a rising star in that kinda space.

Let me know if you find a sweet spot.

Usually set new read goals each December.. :D

Feel I’ve been doing adulting all wrong.

A more childlike approach would have been more joyful. Still time to fix that.

It’s truly impressive how well South Park remains immersed in current events. For decades it’s managed to educate ignorant people like myself — more than any news channel or the algorithm driven slim view of social media that reaches my view. Kudos to the makers.

It’s finally out for the public!

Haven’t been this excited for a software update since Encarta 96. #obsidian #bases

Burned out.
Fell ill.
Here I am...

What did I miss?

Myself, I feel very safe.

Haan.. legend has it they were brothers in a previous life.

— Just, no.

The rise of the em-dashers is an affront to my identity. All these GPT LLM loving sons of peaches be seeding their outputs to the world like their own.

You were not language savvy before, nor were you one to concern yourself with the visual aesthetic of a sentence.

I feel you should have a look at the format that was developed by @johnaugust.bsky.social called Fountain — a tight markdown variant with this purpose in mind. Alas, it's not as common as I'd anticipated back when that journey began.. but who knows, maybe now is the time! :D

What’s the topic of discussion?

the etiquette of cinema watchers has dropped beyond gutters and waste.. this is why I tend to go in the early mornings in the hope to avoid a crowd of any sort.. so much for the community experience 🤨

Crimson Tide had a sequel?

I miss seeing the world with rose tinted glasses.

Ignorance actually was bliss.

Such is the muddy tainted lens of hindsight, I suppose.

One of my most favourite films. I’d seen it thrice in theatres and loved it every time just the same. Has held up on every rewatch since too.

Fast Fantastic and Four yes?? #family

Companion (2025) A billionaire's death sets off a chain of events for Iris and her friends during a weekend trip to his lakeside estate.

Totally agree with @kermodemovie.bsky.social on the film Companion — the marketing gives away much.. and it still delivers. But those that just watch it blind will have a better “experience” with it.
