Ok, is it just me or does anyone else find that the SF Bay Area feels like it's slowly draining? A subtle decline in the background, a few fewer tech nerds and families out in the north bay, things looking a little more frayed, cheaper shops and emptier big box, less energy.

I'm trending to the opinion that observation is reality cosmologically. Our slither of coherence is "mass" from 0 to black holes. To either side we see incoherence, and what we cannot directly observe we call "energy". Dimensionless and for all intents a different singularity.

Shanghai to Nanjing train covers a similar distance as San Diego to Vegas, but in only 1hr40. I did Business Class at $60 ($12 regular). I’ve ridden Korea and Japan bullet trains too but China’s doing it over wayy longer distances. Infrastructure-wise the US is DECADES behind.

I didn't hear of this show before now but what a great masterclass in animating and storytelling! Great dynamic poses, body-language and timing. Catches your interest, draws you in, gets you emotionally hooked and tells a resonant story in a minute with the bare minimum.

So, the em dash. Apparently AI Bros think this is a sign of AI content — and that it’s ‘m dash’. I think their brains have now rotted to the point that they imagine any vaguely coherent english could only have come from an AI.

If you're not already following the wonderful Xor just for the joy of seeing super fun shaders brightening up your feed (and the equal joy of someone really into them), you really ought to be.
