The rush into clawdbot/agentic AI’s feels similar to meme coin hype. Like I want to experiment, but something about the panic to rush into it is giving me pause.
This is the first year in 10 years of sobriety where I did not make a post on centralized social media about it.
In some ways that’s trivial, in other ways it’s me breaking free of that world.
I downloaded all my photos from
Instagram and am soon to delete the account. One by one, inching my way towards Nostr maximalism.
Kinda like selling off the last of your shitcoins and committing to something meaningful.
Today marks 10 years of sobriety for me. 10, fucking, years. In one sense it feels remarkable, and in another sense, completely mundane.
For 10 consecutive years, each day, I’ve chosen to be more present to my reality. Problems arise, and I choose to face them rather than drink or drug them away.
My reality for so long consisted of waking up to a drink. It was a physical necessity in the latter years of drinking.
To have escaped that hell is something I’m forever grateful for, and I’m grateful for all the helping hands that pulled me up out of that hole.
It’s a day of reflection, and also at the same time, just another day. But another day is quite a gift, innit?
This episode got me thinking about skating again. It’s been a few months. Also rad to see someone so focused on skateboarding and transforming his consciousness through yoga and meditation. Legend.
This video part inspired me so much when it came out around 2001/2002. Still a banger. The song, style, trick selection, all on point.

As someone who spent a lot of time thinking about and pushing back on the “woke mind virus”, I have to say at this point, anytime anyone brings up the “woke mob” or “woke left” in an argument, I roll my eyes.
Not because I disagree technically with their argument, but because they’ve clung to this frame past its expiry. It does not apply broadly anymore.
What we are seeing is a different kind of monster, and the only frame I can think about now is Kayfabe. If you’re unfamiliar with that term, familiarize yourself with it because it’s going to help break those maladaptive frames. It remains to be seen whether it allows you to easily create new frames, but hey, knowing is half the battle.
Yes, there are still “woke retards” out there and they deserve to be called out on their retardation. But that framing has been planted for them to follow and for you to push back on.
