My Tidal recap: "You charged through 2025 fueled by a surge of brainy abstract hip-hop and colossal electronic soundscapes, from intricate lyrical mazes to immersive trip-hop odysseys. Your year was a masterclass in exhilarating, intelligent beats and deeply inventive wordplay."

I realize I never posted Lotus' pictures from her adoption profile, specifically the ones highlighting what won my heart: her awkward little kid smile.

Had the misfortune of being on a bus full of secondary school kids this afternoon. (i.e. tweens and younger teens)
The body odour was seriously powerful. I don't know how teachers cope!

republicans nod, ignore that he loved affordability last week, and say "he's such a strong, smart president and the USA is respected across the world."

My AI anecdote is that I’m writing a story script for a high profile IP project featuring a virtual assistant and received the note: “don’t use the word ‘AI’ in the script because the word is toxic now, plus people will assume it’s giving bad info or evil.”
my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

I don't see why I have to be the one to determine the next wave of Ska, it's too much pressure I never asked for that responsibility

Thinking about George H Gay Jr. this morning.
He was a Devestator pilot from USS Hornet who was shot down close to the Japanese carriers during the WWII battle of Midway. He hid in wreckage for *hours* and witnessed the destruction of several Japanese carriers.

My mother hates her sisters. Long story.
She got *very* upset when I refused to commit to never talking to them or my cousins.
She doesn't have any concept of me existing as an adult independent from her. It's really sad.
Cut cruel people off, agreed. But don't expect others to act the same way.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.
