Unreflective instrumentalism is a belief that values learning only when it leads directly to material gain or benefit. This is a pervasive way of thinking and it breaks my heart.

My prediction: 50 years from now, people will be baffled why Elon Musk was ever considered a genius.

Crunchy morning at the Gillnetter dock.

Going through old photos and knick-knacky stuff today:

- A pog featuring Felix "The Cat" Potvin
- A photo in my parents' living room circa 1990?

I miss those colour palettes.

I've started describing my Strava activities in haiku. I don't think anyone that follows me has realized it yet.

I've stopped consuming many American and Trump-adjacent products, but I can't/won't quit my mid shift Diet Coke.

Good morning! From a couple mornings ago...😐
