I finally did it. I committed the act of digital suicide. It was a gesture of clinical curiosity and personal dread. I took twenty years of archives, every Boles Blogs entry, every "Best of" compilation, the discarded drafts, the love letters to lost eras, and I fed the entire body of work into the AI maw.

The Santa Barbara City Council passed a temporary rent freeze
in a 4-3 vote on Tuesday,
putting a halt on rent increases for up to a year
while the City Council works toward drafting a more permanent rent stabilization ordinance
