So many narratives in media are high-stakes these days. One man must fight the alien horde, unlock the secrets of The Engineers, and save The Multiverse! It would be fun to write low-stakes drama: a guy tries to buy a cake for his co-worker's office party, to gain access to her Costco membership.

I started using #Penpot as part of the design process for my sites and projects. It's a delight to use! I had no idea that it was going to be this good. 🤯 It's free and open, and kind of resembles Figma. As someone who's not familiar with using design tools at all, it was really easy to jump into!

Penpot: The Design Tool for Design & Code Collaboration

I'm hesitating against developing something from scratch, but it's really tempting 😬

I love my best friend. He's the kind of person where, regardless of the amount of time since our last call, we still pick up and chat for two hours like it's nothing. We can talk about anything, show any emotion, laugh about the craziest subjects, and I come away from those things with a full heart.

Being in the Air Force is like going to a potluck. Most people brought something great, some people didn't bring anything good at all, and nobody brought any plates or utensils.

Someday, in the far future, somebody will look back on the slightly less-far future with amusement. They'll say "Wow, people really used to put cybernetic implants in their eyes? That's brutal and primitive! We just use genetically modified bacteria in our stomachs to hallucinate an operating system for us."

Is there any actual culture or socializing here? So far, I mostly see tech bros singing the praises of crypto, cheering on Twitter's decline, and patting themselves on the back constantly.
