I'm generally doing really good right now, like I'm super happy and productive and feel like I'm accomplishing things in my life but oh my god my sleep cycle hasnt been this bad in years and I keep just spending way too long on my phone/laptop each night and how do i fucking stop aaaaa

When you realize just how fast your computer actually is, you start getting really really annoyed at all the simple software that manages to be slow

I'm intending to follow through on solo hobby projects a lot more often and I have a queue of projects I'll work on one at a time. So for now it's the custom HTML canvas context, then a very big individual song I've had in progress for like 7 years, then an album I've had in the works for 2 years.

I've been working on a custom HTML canvas context, mostly because I've often found CanvasRenderingContext2D to be a significant bottleneck. So my goal is to make a near drop-in replacement. The feature-set I've built it extremely limited for now but results are encouraging.

There was a point in 2019 were polling suggested the two party system in the UK was being broken by the Brexit Party and the Libdems. But before the next election they had both collapsed again and Labour and the Conservatives were the largest by far. Are we repeating that with the Greens and Reform?

Lowkey kinda considering building a website that mimics LittleBigPlanet music sequencers Add it to the list of projects I may or may not ever get started on

Told everyone I was gonna stream a ton of Barnyard this weekend and instead I did everything except stream. Now it's sunday evening and I decided I'd rather go on a walk. Been a long time since I went on a proper walk, but it's pretty nice :)

I don't hate the idea of banning social media for children but 1) I'm extremely worried about the consequences of how that's implemented and 2) it feels like the wrong approach because it suggests an assumption that adults are more responsible on social media, which I don't think holds up.

I was kinda hoping this would go to penalties and that Argentina would win. Juts so that no one would ever argue with me again that penalties are an incomprehensibly dumb way to fix a tied game

I am actually kinda baffled how immediate and massive the backlash is to Sony no longer supporting physical media and it feels kinda unwarranted to me. Since games receive regular online updates, I don't think people have generally played the content of these discs for over a decade.

> be Andy Burnham > become Labour leader 2 days before the World Cup final > England win > announce a bank holiday > crank the weather machine up > Labour polling ~95% > call snap election > biggest majority in history DMs open for any political strategist roles

People are saying Trump is now the worst president in US history, but let me ask you, is he really worse than G.W Bush, or Reagan, or Hoover, or Harding, or Buchanan? The answer is yes

There's a news story going around that Starmer is expected to resign on Monday. It seems unconfirmed but I suppose it's more likely than not. I think Starmer is just unprecedentedly bad at politics but I imagine it's been a good move to wait until Andy Burnham takes his seat.

I feel like I should be able to talk more about my ex and the breakup because holy shit that was traumatizing. It took until the last couple weeks before I really started becoming resentful and I feel like I haven't really had a good opportunity to express that. idk maybe I should get a therapist

I've been watching the TLDR News world leader leaderboard podcast every week for like half a year and I'm sort of getting worried that my geopolitical opinions are getting too influenced by Zac Michaelis at this point
