today i was down, so i walked three miles home, and on the way back i tried to find enough colourful things to make a rainbow. it's a good trick, it makes you look for small good things, and then you're glad when you find them.

Unpopular opinion: Any engineer afraid AI will take their job must have been pretty "meh" in the first place, since any good engineer knows the job is to automate yourself out of a job and move on to automating yourself out of the next job, over & over again til the end of time.

Prog is going to make a comeback this year. Sleep Token, Periphery and hopefully The Contortionist, Tesseract, Aviations drop their albums too. If so… then 2023 will be the year of prog.
