Finally isolated the alexical notion that had been flittering round the back of my mind for a few days, without my spotting it.
#Epstein, in the videos of police interviews and such that I've glimpsed, reminded me strongly of someone I couldn't place. It's the almost playful, ironically detached manner in the bit about "are you the devil himself?" When he replies som…
Ten years ago when I was building electric vehicles with my friends I always hated getting my hands all greasy and dirty.
Five years ago talking to friends of mine who were into gardening and plants I mentioned how I always hated getting soil and dirt all over my hands.
Nowadays when I’m in the kitchen making dough, mixing batter, whipping up icing, I don’t mind getting my hands dirty at all.
It’s just a different kind of “dirt” that I like.

Was originally going to upgrade the VM server CPU today since the new heatsink came in, but changed my mind: I don't have an extra LGA 4189 plastic mounting clip so I'd need to remove the old CPU from the heatsink, clean it, and apply new thermal compound etc.
Better to wait until tomorrow when the motherboard I ordered for the microscope bench box comes in. Then I can use its bracket with the new heatsink and CPU, and pull the existing VM server processor/heatsink assembly and…

Sonnet 027 - XXVII
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts--from far where I abide--
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless…

This is actually not too far off from a pamphlet I wrote at my community college as an experiment in "turning assignments into creative writing." I was taking a religion class, so I decided to create one. I was working in a group and by the end we had developed 3 sects of the religion and we each talked about our sect and how it related and differed from the original text.
I also handed out pamphlets at a mall, half as part of a psychology class (because why not find a way to reuse my material) and part as an experiment to see how long it would take to get kicked out of said mall. (The answer was bout 15 minutes, if I remember correctly.)
Somewhere between there and here, the books "The Evolution of God" and "Non-Zero" came out (written, interestingly but probably unrelated, by someone who lived in the town with that mall where I handed out those flyers). These books both have heavily overlapping ideas with the original pamphlet (lost, which may not be the worst thing since it was full of spelling and grammar errors).
But both of those books had a decidedly theistic flavor, though, I think, they were more generally liberal. The whole #CultPunk thing feels like a missing piece to something that's been bouncing around in my head for... uh... some years. But not so much at the front of my mind.
It was actually in the hospital, on pain killers and ketamine, that this all came rushing back. Perhaps that's the right state of mind for such things.

There are days when I feel more lonely than usual, and I wonder if that will ever change. The problem is, there's a whole lot of unusual things I need, probably due to a combination of being on the spectrum, with all the oversensitivity of the senses, rich imagination and the trauma from past relationships.
So right now my girlfriend couldn't smoke, support capitalism, use strong perfumes, wear noisy shoes, jewelry, piercings, makeup, long nails, long/thick eyelashes… and probably there would be more if I put my mind to it. And it's only clear that the list will get longer with more experiences…

Dear friends,
Please forgive one more post related to this, but I’m excited to share my new album, 'Habitations', with you!
A friend listened to a few of my thoughts/the album and summarised it as "inhabited worlds - human sanctuaries and tragedies, insect colonies and their swarm intelligences, bird migrations across continents, the microcosms of mind and memory, the metal nests of decaying cities…tracing the often-surprising beauty of the perilous journey home - t…
On my mind, lately, as my wife & I are pressed fully into the sandwich generation:
Teens often subconsciously "soil the nest" - creating increased conflict and emotional distance as a mechanism which makes the transition to independence feel easier for everyone.
The inverse exists with aging parents. As the caregiver roles reverse, they rebel against loss of independence in ways that often are against their own self-interest, making it harder for everyone else.
> I would ask the rhetorical question: “do you really think that twenty years from now everyone is still going to be going around all day staring at little rectangles in their hands?” At the time it seemed obvious to me that the answer was no.
> Reader, I have changed my mind.

@gruber I purposefully have automatic downloads and updates turned off because OS 26 seems half-baked and I wanted to wait.

Greenland thoughts from Antarctica..
Greenland is all over the press at the moment for all the wrong reasons. But Greenland is also on my mind, not just because of geopolitics, but also because the Copernicus Climate service has just put out their annual global climate highlights for 2025 with some disturbing messages about Antarctica. Understanding Greenland can help us to understand also what is happening here.

Lulu the #cat is lying on my mattress. I lie next to her. I gesticulate to her to climb on my chest, so I would get more space. She looks at me like I was some moron. In the meantime, Ruh notices the gesture and jumps on my chest.
Situation: I'm lying on half of the mattress. On one side, Lulu is stretching next to me and pushing me down. On the other, Ruh is lying on my chest, counterweighing me to the floor. I push my elbow against the bedside table not to fall.
But miraculously, they don't fight, so I ensure. Lulu started washing Ruh, and Ruh doesn't mind. I'm flabbergasted.
To the moment when Ruh suddenly starts sliding down, so she pushes all her claws into my chest. I shriek painfully, and both cats run away.

Throughout most of my life I've lost something maybe once. In the last two weeks, I've lost two things already. And to the point of not even being able to tell when they "disappeared" — I was convinced I have them on me until I've noticed they're gone. I feel like I was losing my mind.
It doesn't help that I was raised to feel guilty about my mistakes. It doesn't help that people around me take this lightly (it's nothing "important"), so I also feel guilty about feeling guilty. And completely estranged.
#ActuallyAutistic
No decent person looks at the world and says “you know what I want, a billion dollars!” So why do you still expect such people to behave decently? Or to learn from their “mistakes.” (They’re not mistakes.) It fucking blows my mind how some of you are still giving these parasites every benefit of the doubt.
