    Here is my very own take on habits/fundamentals - because there are not enough resources on this yet! 😉 Your fundamentals are a large part of who you are, and your attention is a super power. Use it deliberately to cultivate your favorite fundamentals!

    I have a new kind of node in my database. Calling it "everything I know about ..." (EIKA). I will write EIKAs for different topics I have some knowledge in. Will be fertile grounds for more polished articles and other form of content. This is incredibly fun.

    What's the German word for the mix of excitement and shame you feel when finding an unfinished blog article in your working directory you started months ago but never published and completely forgot?

    Yes, I just bought a limited edition lofi girl figurine. No, I don't regret it and it wasn't wasteful. This is giving me joy. And it's only a small repayment considering the years of beats to relax/study to I have received. Shoutout to !

    In France, it’s currently possible for a woman simultaneously to be fined €165 for being in public with a face covering and €135 for being in public without a face covering

    Replying to @perreaux
    En France, à l’heure actuelle, une femme qui déambule en niqab risque une amende de 165 euros, mais elle risque du même coup, en se pliant à cette loi, une amende de 135 euros en se présentant dans le métro sans masque.

    It just occured to me that movie probably developed as a shorter form of "moving pictures". I wonder if people in 100 years use yeet or thot as ignorantly and innocently as I use movie today.

    A glimpse into my mind, on the daily: Should I first get out the trash, then shower, make lunch, meditate and work out? Isn't it better to first work out then shower? On the other hand I am hungry now. But I can't eat yet, that would split the day in an unbalanced way and I...

    TIL that Jeff Bezos invested in Kongregate, which was later sold to GameStop. Good childhood memories! Currently I'm binging on if I have 20 minutes downtime.

    If an improved version of GPT-2 produces philosophy papers that, for domain expert philosophers, are statistically indistinguishable from papers by human authors, is it doing philosophy? (Please RT if you find interesting; I don't have enough reach to get a good sample alone)

    I overlooked that also has hash tags. Haven't used them at all yet. One idea is to introduce them to the header section of all my nodes - like categories in Wikipedia. How are y'all using tags creatively & effectively?

    So many things I can do to support this creative process. - journalling and/or using regularly with whatever comes up - meditation - deep breathing - checking in with myself - sitting in silence observing the room and myself - nurturing my body - reading - walking

    I love when a thought or feeling is "brewing" or "simmering" in me over long periods of time. Can be hours, days, weeks, and yes, even years. Most of my blogs and poems are created as a result of something simmering like that. There are some that I can feel right now. So curious!

    Piglet hardest pressure and laning I've ever played against, good luck to him for the rest of playoffs. His auto spacing is unbelievable

    Ok that was a wild ride, I have so many questions. Hilarious.

    I'm having trouble concentrating on science animations right now, so instead here are some screenshots from my favourite document on the planet. These are taken from a 'work in progress' document from Pepsi's 2008 rebrand. Every figure is as incomprehensible as this one. 1/23
