If you're looking for your first audio recorder and think "I don't need one with XLR inputs," think again. I thought that with my zoom h2n back in 2018 and wish I'd spent a little more on one with at least one input.

Something I started to notice is some people become fixed in an era. They might have been progressive for that era, but the world moved on and they didn't. They would have marched with MLK, but gay rights are too far. Or they were pro-gay rights in the 90s, but trans rights is too far. And so on […]

Some people have so fully bought into the blue state/red state lie that it's led them to what I can only describe as actual evil.

It goes so deep people will even say nonsense like "it's not the kids fault their parents voted poorly" as though they have any idea how the parents voted. It's a […]

I hurt my tailbone once and the whole time it was recovering I thought about how unfair it is to have the thing to injure but not the thing to play with.

The greatest lie TV ever told is that Interpol is a police agency with cops with guns and badges and authority.

I remember being anti-feminist until I finally listened to all the friends telling me to read bell hooks and Judith Butler. I realized anti-feminists/MRAs are rank amateurs in their criticism of feminism next to Black and queer feminists.

It's hard enough questioning what we believe about ourselves. Questioning what we believe about others is another much harder level. A recurring issue I see is people who've done the work on gender and sexuality re: their own experience fail to do that work with their beliefs about other identities.

If I had money, I would bet something comes out in the next year or two that obsoletes transformers and moots all the concerns about them. LLMs kind of took everyone by surprise with how good they are, but they've induced people to look for what's next, or maybe what was left behind in the hype.

"ah yes, the punwale"

How too many people see nonbinary: a center position between man and woman

Nonbinary in reality: a table of identity and experience where some items may or may not be associated with masculinity or femininity.

Assigned gender is also pretty meaningless, especially as we come into our own identity.

I once watched a human stick a card in an ATM clearly labeled "out of order" 16 times. I don't have such a high opinion of human intelligence that I don't think machines can, for all practical purposes, match it in practice if not in pure emulation of its biological emergence. Is that AGI? Who cares

You ever think about how a thin sheet of rock and dirt is all that stands between us and an incredible geological dynamism driven by a liquid nuclear inferno

Something that took me too long to figure out as a kid was that "I didn't do it" and "it wasn't me" were seen as admitting to it. I still don't understand it, but I do know better than to say anything when someone is fishing for a culprit.

The X-Men prepare for their first furry con

Originally made for my short-lived comic review site. I got the panel from a copy of an Astonishing X-Men collection I picked up at Goodwill.

Do you think Superman razzed Lois when she got a car with lane assist

Pineapple in name only, for it is neither.

CWs don't work on here

Trying Ghost's AP implementation just emphasizes what I don't like about AP-in-practice. Between that and all the bridge profiles, there are 4 new profiles, each with their own copy of the data to maintain.

With AT, it's just the one account across all platforms with all the data stored on my […]

Appropriate to repost in light of this being essentially the direction we seem to be headed in. I posted this note from my Ghost blog. It […]

"terraforming Mars"

I think you mean oxygentrificaton

"I'm 100% chemical free" I say as I fade into a mass of particles unbound by the tyranny of weak forces.
