I’m writing this a few years before Bitcoin’s twentieth anniversary as one of humanity’s biggest mistakes. Bitcoin is three things: The ledger (perhaps useful) The tokens (artificial scarcity) The mining (an unprecedented environmental...
Klimatminister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) vill avskaffa ett av de mest omstridda klimatmålen—det så kallade transportmålet—och i stället införa ett annat mål. Hon dömer ut det nuvarande målet som orealistiskt. Pourmokhtari anser att det...
The other day, someone told me that “Discord is a good product”. And I’m grateful for that phrasing because it helps me explain why I’m having such a cow about Discord. Because it’s not a good product. The worst part about it is how...
In the seventies Frappé popularized an idea that vegetarians should combine protein sources, i.e. eating grains with beans, just like traditional food cultures have done for longer than recorded history, is a complete amino acid profile...
There are situations where the word “NIMBY” applies. It’s short for “Not in my backyard”, like someone might think needle exchanges and refugee housing are great but don’t want them in their own neighborhoods (FWIW, I used to live in a...
Let’s say a land wanted to make burglary illegal. They notice that a lot of people who do breaking and entering wear shoes when doing so. So they make wearing shoes illegal. That’s sort of how many EU laws are. I’m getting a li’l...
I don’t want to paint or write long-form fiction in the age of AI. This isn’t me going on strike or anything. It’s just a report from my soul-crushed inner landscape of not feeling like making art and not having felt like making art for...

When I first got started with Magic I only had one deck, a huge pile of I dunno 120 cards or something (Revised and Fallen Empires), I’m not sure. There were enough lands in there to cover everything too. So my neighbor and I played the...
Sweden disastrously had the biggest year-over-year CO₂E emissions increase since 1990 as a direct and immediate consequence of our elected government’s policies—it’s proven that their diesel pricing was the culprit. When people tell me...
With push! from miscmacros you can cons onto that particular name whereas with mutate-cons! defined like this: (define (mutate-cons! val lis) (set-cdr! lis (cons (car lis) (cdr lis))) (set-car! lis val)) You can change all instances of...
I thought the do in in Scheme was a li’l hard to learn since the examples I could find was a li’l too fancy and clever. Just like a lot of my own documentation often is; sorry about that. (do ((a 0 (add1 a)) (e 13) (i 7 (sub1 i)))...
Here is where I’ll post my solutions to Advent of Code using zshbrev. Spoilers ahead, and no promises that I’ll make it through the entire 12 days. Dec 1 (define (turn) (define-parameters zero 0) (fold (fn (with-result (when (zero? (save...
A lot of people wonder why the kindred cardtype in Magic can’t be a supertype or why it’s even necessary in the first place and I’ll explain that here! Why it’s even necessary! It was decided once upon a time that subtypes belong to...
As I continue my self-racking of heart and mind to figure out why I hate smartphones and internet and screens so much, here’s one more reason I came up with and this one is not pretty. Kind of wish that I had stayed in the self-deluded...
