Happy 4th USA. You've been a welcoming home for the past 4.5 years. Despite a lot of shit, you generally ain't too bad. 🤗🥳 Spent it watching the Dodgers lose tremendously bad. 😂

Started playing civ 7 and I'm just accidentally making everyone my enemy. 😅 Good fun once it gets going. Still early in the game.

I love non-spaces like this. Why is it there? If it's truly for a sitting area, why is it slightly elevated? Is it a vestigial piece of a previous shop/store/space? What's really going on here?

I find shields (force fields) a very unexplored territory in sci-fi. Instant walls of various sizes would reshape a lot of society, not just as "armor". Offensive use too. If anyone could do it, will it be regulated?

Planning to get back into making music again soon. Going back through some old stuff. This was a jam. I should polish and release it. 😂

Saddened by the loss of Meher Roy. A kind and curious soul. Will never forget how eagerly he listened when so few did in the early days. https://x.com/crainbf/status/1937111596469469288?t=RsCP3SPVDCLJQp0nasckBQ&s=19

I feel like a deeper question with LLMs is whether people are using to replace intellectual activities (out of laziness) or using it to expand their ability? It's an army of assistants for me, allowing me to do more. Would love to see a study that also differentiates on type of usage, not just essay writing.

My dream house one day has 1) a garden, 2) a built-in breakfast nook, and 3) a recording studio. One day. 😂🙏

There's an irony to Coinbase sponsoring the military parade. Crypto prices are sensitive to liquidity brought from world peace and free trade. Any geopolitical hiccup sends prices down. So... To incentivize peace, give people crypto? 😅

On the one hand, creative success in the form of being able to be defined by "in the style of simondlr" is great. But, also, it means your work is so legible that one line could define it. Novel creativity requires some semblance of continued illegibility.

Moving apartments soon and using the opportunity to reset my wardrobe. Part 1 was actually just getting not-the-cheapest white t-shirts for modifying outfits. Definitely more to go, but a start. 😅
