While I don’t expect the US government to respect my rights, I am embarrassingly shocked to see how Canadian government takes US’ lead to put me through this inhumane process each time leaving or entering to Canada. I will continue to use all my rights to fight with 6/7

I asked the video wizard Colby Richardson to make a book trailer for Doppelganger. He went and made a beautiful and trippy work of art.

I’m so grateful.

Spoke to an ex-Twitter SRE today who added an interesting tidbit about the rate limiting incident. He said "Even seeing the rate limiting message means multiple other things were broken".

The funniest beneficiary of the AI boom must be the tiny island Anguilla? Napkin math, but .ai domains is something like ~25% of their GDP at this point.
