First bike ride post-eye-op. 11m @ 10mph. Ran into a friend and rode w/ them for a while which was nice. Eye did not bother me too much. Ever have bad sunglasses that cause glare when the sun hits them at an angle? It's like that in the one eye. Light sensitivity wasn't terrible with my darkest big wraparound cycling glasses on.

That was the longest I'd been outside in 10 days.

What's the word for the persistent, nagging two months of anxiety around whether or not one put the AC filters in right-side up

So I really like switch-lit.com -- the concept, the design...

I started a story with a friend and they fizzled out after a couple of rounds. I asked another friend and they initially expressed interest in doing it with me but then never followed up.

So: anyone in range here interested in trying Switch-Lit with me?

Just me dancing at my standing desk in my new off the peg reading glasses. 👴🏻

"To live mythically is to *not* centre yourself as the hero, nor to fancy yourself the only ‘player character’ in a world of non-player characters"

"I want AI to get cheaper and faster and more efficient, and more reliable, even if that makes it more of a tool and less of a simulated human. I don’t know when stability returns to the world, or if it looks like how 'stability' used to look—but nobody wants to spend all day thinking about Sam Altman or Donald Trump or Elon Musk while a computer makes up random facts and sets the ocean on fire."
