Part-time gentleman, scholar, and fuckwit. Full-time spider fucker.
Thinking smart thoughts basedly since the 90s.
Apparently I'm a musician now, too.
Wish I could easily post audio clips because I’m finally making real progress. Turns out rediscovering my emotions actually made me… y’know, not terrible at music.

It’s still pretty shit, but at least it finally sounds like actual music following actual structure

I need to get "I don't think it means what you think it means" on my forehead so people stop telling me these sayings that they keep missinterpreting by taking them literally.

Sayings are not meant to be taken literally.

They're a compression algorithm.

Fuck.

We need an ecosystem. Not a rule system.

Guys have I just solved the #world #politics and so on?

Capitalism is exploitative sorting
Communism is forced sorting

Can we just do like a system where you kinda sort yourself and get guided instead of forced, coerced or manipulated? Thanks.

*isms seem to me like someone's agenda dressed as moral framework. Don't like it.

"Discworld is anarchy for children" is the most accurate description of these books I've ever heard

Rewatching The Room.

I honestly can't tell where the genius ends and the madness begins. It's beautiful.

My mad prophet thought of the day:

Systemic stagnation creates pressure for transformation,
and if we refuse to evolve, collapse becomes unavoidable.

Good morning.

Be right back I'm in the middle of failing slightly forward.

Stay tuned

MAGA won't accept that trans women are women but they have no issue pretending that 15 year-old children are women.

Gave The Foundation a try because I remember skimming through the book like 10 years ago.

It's worth reading as a time capsule of science fiction with some fun ideas.
Not sure if it's worth watching, first episode sets terrible vibes of a wannabe smart show.
November 26, 2025 at 9:25 PM
I need a smart show to obses about :/

For now the best way to undo some damage is to mass complain everywhere we can about very targeted issues.

Make your representatives actually like... Representing you.

It not going to solve our problems but it's a start

Finished The Expanse. Now I need to read the books because season 6 sucks and Amazon cut it short. Thanks #Amazon for being cunts as always, perfectly predictable Amazon behavior.

#Telstra #Australia why does your updated “Add Data Pack” UI redirect to a 90s-era portal that doesn’t remember the selection?

Who signed off on this flow? Can I speak with the product owner responsible and someone above them? This feels like a serious process failure.

I also look for a new job

Okay some shower thoughts.

I think #Microsoft should start parallel next gen #Windows.

Create a little DOS/Win32 ghetto for all the companies still running VB6.

For everyone else:
- focus on NT kernel, it's good. Dare I say might be better than Linux in some applications
- kill win userspace

Yo did you know if you see AI slop ads you can just complain? And the company that has it will have to do something about it?

ACCC and Ad standards are happy to hear your complaints #Australia #FuckMurdoch
November 24, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Ask yourself this: how can *I* help destroy Murdoch empire.

And it's... Kinda not that hard.
November 24, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Okay okay if you're one of these people who worry about AGI taking over. Ask yourself this: can you gonna day without using something that has a CPU in it.

I'll wait.

Listening to sublime while smoking a joint before going to work is definitely it's own vibe for me.

Are billionaires just insecure traumatized people with narcissistic tendencies that refuse to do therapy all the way up?
November 23, 2025 at 7:35 AM
If you're wondering why the world looks the way it does?

Reading comprehension is lowest in decades.
Therefore critical thinking goes bye bye.

Please, for the love of fuck. Educate yourselves.

Read a book and UNDERSTAND it. Think about it. It's how you save the world.

It utterly terrifies me that the world we live in is build around beating kids into believing square blocks go into round opening.

Society is built on broken childhoods like mine and I do not conscent to that anymore.
