this made me smile

I've linked to one of Sophie's articles before, but I just wanted to take another post to recognize what a gem her website is. It's delightful. It's personal. It's what I love to see on the internet! Go check it out, and try out every theme!

Just lovely. I love simple little single-use websites like this.

I relate so much to Cassidy's up-and-down, back-and-forth relationship with her feelings on using AI as a developer, and AI in general. 

“They are shrieking, betting ponies
folksy like the idiot winds
Blowing over frozen water
It's your neighbors they are taking in
cold, black nights
Taking in cold, black nights”

This blew my mind! Definitely a hack, not sure if I'll use it or just wait paitently for support for name media queries, but an impressively clever approach.

“Against smoke and rubber bullets 
By the dawn’s early light 
Citizens stood for justice 
Their voices ringing through the night 
And there were bloody footprints 
Where mercy should have stood 
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets”

I can’t really think of another book I’ve read that was (in part) an instructional guide on how to do a thing that I don’t really intend on doing—and I was so into it! Such a fun read, and so pretty.

Absolutely beautiful!

“Be weird. It’s a good form of virtue signaling. It’s all bullshit...
It’s all made up. None of it is real. None of it matters. It’s all about control. 
So fuck that. Do what you want. Be weird!”

“Well, I want you to visit my website. I want you to read an article from a search result, and then discover the other things I’ve written, the other people I link to, and explore the weird themes I’ve got.”

A very fun way to structure a memoir—a chronology of vignettes revolving around Tree's life with bicycles. 

I'm absolutely loving this record from this incredible trio from Chicago (which makes me love them even more). If Trent Reznor hasn't heard them yet, he needs to.

A great follow-up to the first book, still lovely, still hopeful. I want to explore this world much more.

I loved this book so much. It felt like a breath of fresh air, or a cup of warm tea. How refreshing to envision a future that isn't terrible.
