[johnny, INFINITE FUN ENTHUSIAST @generativist]

@timo_rf modern man!

joe is of course right. but the (delightful) framing invited another one: how many is sufficient? as n grows (but constrained to this kind of medium), where does your estimate asymptote?

@MattBruenig Do I think anyone can be fully informed on a topic from a single article in any publication? No, I do not.

theo’s roles didn’t show up because the people behind whisper didn’t go far enough but this was a hilarious 3 minutes

@HipCityReg theo had to get a blood draw because we’re in a really old house so they verify no lead in blood. i thought it was a finger stick but it was a proper iv. just awful

[johnny, INFINITE FUN ENTHUSIAST @generativist]

@HipCityReg it’s brutal

i just want to finish echopraxia (but am only halfway)

[johnny, INFINITE FUN ENTHUSIAST @generativist]

idk. i’ll-formed thoughts here

i think my primary criticism of most media the past decade is how sync makes that a lot harder. everything gets more and more correlated by it. and it produces a real exhaustion

[johnny, INFINITE FUN ENTHUSIAST @generativist]

they are absolutely welcome here!

it’s more about evaluating every new feature and emerging dynamic, and asking how much it helps that particular use case. the more it’s aligned, the more it monkey wrenches the serendipity drive / fun house

@pauljpastor I wish every year with your kids took 2 years instead of 1. That would feel like the right amount of time. You should get one year to learn what your kid is like at that age, and a second year to do it right.

A few warm fatherly tears shed today by an empty fort in the woods, so lovingly built, and so lately left, by a growing child with (quite rightly) more grown up things to do. I wish I could find her in there peeking out again, just a little smaller.

Too fast; it is all too fast.
