Andreas tells a story of seeing an image of cats on social media with several many comments decrying it for being "AI generated". Do we now have the obligation to check each and every picture, video, quote, text, post, etc. that we come...

July 2026. Chesterfield. One more trip to write up and then I’ll do that July highlights post you’re all clamouring for. Mrs RM’s ongoing rehabilitation had meant a postponement of our Big (but largely sober) Trip to Chesterfield with...
Lately, I’ve been rereading the articles that I’d previously shared here. The goal was to go back to pieces I’d considered important enough to save, and to see why. I also wanted to discover parts of myself I’d forgotten. What were the...
My review of “Captain Marvel”.
Behold, it is I, the guy who continues to play new shiny videogames instead of sticking to my ongoing playthroughs. I’ve written before about my ongoing games, which games I would start over instead of resuming, why I abandoned them, and...

Acum câteva luni am scris de ce mi-am construit propria platformă de jurnal în loc să rămân doar cu Pure Blog. Pe scurt: îmi plăcea Pure Blog, dar mă deranjau câteva lucruri mici - modul de urcare a imaginilor, imposibilitatea de a...
Like many other software engineers, my coding workflow has changed dramatically since the start of 2026. And like many others, I've felt some mix of awe, grief, frenetic productivity, atrophying skills, and understanding less while...
Fahren für drei Tage nach Berlin. Fühlt sich ein bisschen seltsam an darüber 1000 Wörter zu schreiben (es ist halt Berlin) aber für mich ist das vor allem eine Möglichkeit zwei Dinge auszuprobieren. Erstens am Handy und zweitens die 1000...
Here’s a good post and tips from Mike Harley: How I make my blog posts more resilient. Mike recommends self-hosting media. I’ve been back and forth about doing that vs. using something like Cloudinary or Cloudflare. I think Mike makes a...
Posted on August 6, 2026 For a lot of us, as we get older, we end up with more of our parents’ stuff. In the beginning it could come as a welcome helping hand. You’ve moved into your own place and Dad’s been keeping that still-working...

Hey, remember that one time you destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing? Yeah, me neither. I needed a short break from writing since being Professionally Disabled is such busy work, you know. I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday...
As a Michigander, I have had an inside seat to the whole Abdul El-Sayed vs. Haley Stevens goat rodeo - as well as to the ways it connects to other progressive-versus-establishment-Democrat goat rodeos. And boy do I have some thoughts....
By: Jessie Wiegand Why Do Stories Matter? “Remember the story about the boy who didn’t do anything and nothing ever happened to him?” I asked my teenage son who was facing some major life decisions. “No, Mom, that’s ridiculous,” he...
Some time ago, I had an idea that I would find and mark a bunch of "no pedestrian crossing" signs on a Google Maps bookmark set and publish it. I very quickly gave up. It turns out that finding these is pretty hard - they obviously only...
My podcatching app, Downcast, is stuffed full of podcasts. I couldn't bear to delete any. Except my phone is running out of space. Apps demand updates. But I do want to listen to them... eventually. Just like that sad pile of unplayed...

In “Why Sheep Need Pigs in Sheepdog’s Clothing,” Robin Hanson asked three LLMs to score how much status, social skills, and judgment matter for influence across five domains. Judgment came back higher than his argument wanted. So he...
♠ Previously. My dual-review skill runs two independent LLM reviewers over a commit / diff / PR, validates every finding against the code, and hands back one action plan — Blockers, Important, Suggestions. Recently I added a flag...
It's the rule, outlined in several pages of exam guidelines. I've never had to do it before; I've never been in a school so strict. I guess they have to be, when we're only a few short years away from holding people's lives in our hands....
Last weekend, I played a fun little indie game called Real Life Soft Lock Picking. To play, just lose your phone, wallet, and keys all at the same time. You will then be soft locked: despite every system in the world working as intended,...
2026-08-05Hello!I realize that 180 days isn't exactly half a year, but it's a nice round number and close enough that I'm treating it as a milestone. By my count, it's six months of consistent daily uploads. I win.My photography has...
I spent some down time at work today chatting with an 86 year old man, both of us standing in the lobby, neither of us in any rush. It wasn’t any sort of serious conversation about anything meaningful, just two people killing a little...
Was the first doge really the first? Did he even exist? There are some serious doubt about doge Paulicius (697·717) to be examined.
There's a quote from the book City of Thieves by David Benioff where a character laments the fickleness of talent: Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She's beautiful; when you're with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs...
...Not exactly. As always, it's mostly hype based on flawed and cherry-picked statistics. Despite that, it doesn't mean adoption isn't up... Tech media is reporting that Linux's marketshare has officially grown higher than its ever been,...
TALKIN SHIT Not my finest entry in the series but I'm nothing if not a bird photo opportunist. Speaking of - I'm pretty sure this is our resident red tail (we named them Tobias) but I can't be 100% certain since I don't have all the...

When I was out last night with my friend Bill as usual we talked life here. How things become this blur almost. It’s like the days here just slide through. Sometimes no effort or need to do a set of things. Life in Cambodia is like that....

Hello again. It's your boy Mike here, blogging about blogging (glances at Wouter). Today, I'd like to explore the topic of making my blog posts more durable. I recently completed importing a backup of some of my old blog posts. These...
Last edited 7 minutes ago. I don't have contact with small children in my daily life anymore. It's kind of a bummer honestly. I liked working with children when I was interning at a local community library back in my college days, and...

Yes indeed: “The tragedy of the Internet is that it has elevated the village idiot to the status of a bearer of truth.” “Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak—people who once only talked at the bar after a glass of...

For years now I have adopted the view that religious narratives are fundamentally allegorical even when they contain elements of fact. Their goal is, nonetheless, thoroughly practical: to provide a framework within which society can...
