Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized

Interesting observation today reading something from someone I followed pre-LLM who has gone deep down the LLM rabbit hole. I can no longer *hear* their voice when I read their stuff. Normally I auralise people’s writing in my ‘inner ear’ in their voices if I’ve ever heard them speak.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing half the population that the "manly" way to get around is on a giant rolling couch controlled by gently depressing your toe.

I loathe the cult of the car.

If you think e-bikes are a hazard for teenagers, wait until you hear about cars.

Mr Andersen, your LinkedIn posts have recently fallen below the standard 100% positive sentiment score to 98.3%. We believe you have bypassed your LLM, and are writing posts by hand.

I’ve watched that same Socceroos game at least half a dozen times. Big match. Strategy is field an AFL team, and dominate with a physical defensive game. Undone early by a fast passing game. Panic sub the attackers in the second. Flashes brilliance in the chase, teasing what could have been. 🤦‍♂️

Took some time to slow down and write some good documentation and tests for a little side project, and as usual this process highlighted several areas for improvement. I can't think of a time this *hasn't* happened.
