A smart, well-researched person is losing an argument they don’t know they’re losing. They produce nine counterpoints in rapid succession. Each one is accurate at the level of observable fact. Each one is absorbed as confirmation while...
Lenny opened the window to let in a little fresh air before bed. For weeks, the summer heat had seemed to stick to the walls, but that night, it relented. The moonlight reflected off the stream below, and in the clear sky above, an...
I am writing an article about Marginalia Search. I wanted to check something on the search results page. Since Marginalia is good at turning up small web and vintage websites and articles, I decided to search for an old school unsung...

Prefixet “be-“ behövs egentligen inte på svenska, har jag hört. Så istället för bestraffa kan man säga straffa, istället för befria kan man säga fria, istället för benåda kan man säga nåda, istället för betjäna kan man säga tjäna osv...

I have been meaning to read this book since it was released; alas, life happens, and it took me a full year to get on with it. My humble apologies! (in the interest of full disclosure: the author and I have been acquainted online for a...
I had always wanted to watch My Mister, but I never seemed to find the time to do it. Then, Lee Sun-kyun sadly passed away. The drama is already heavy to begin with, and the tragic way the actor passed away … seeing him play a depressed...
Download PDF The place is half-full, and I’m half-working, half-staring at a wall when the opening synth line threads through the room. That pulsing, driving riff. Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill.” I feel it before I recognize it....
human.json is exactly the kind of nerdy metadata silliness that is designed to amuse me. It’s a protocol to vouch for people’s websites created by Beto Dealmeida.It basically works by offering a little json file with a list of websites...

I actually just can't bring myself reread old text conversations. It's funny enough how half of your relationship with someone is all written down, recorded, right there for anyone to see. I think that's why I don't find texting special,...
Jonathan Vanian, writing for CNBC: Jurors ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, who claimed that Meta and YouTube’s negligence played a “substantial factor” in causing mental health-related harms. Compensatory damages were assessed...
Seriously, I did. I was driving along the coastal road; I stopped the car and got out; staggered over some large pebbles and rough sand; found a very specific rock, and said: "Hi Dad". Rewinding slightly: I was out at a meeting today,...
On February 23, 2026, Morning Brew published a report headlined Axe body spray wants to cut through the fog. I quote the opening paragraph: Axe is looking to get out of the cloud business. The body spray company knows it’s infamous for...
“We can change, evolve, and transform our own conditioning. We can choose to move like water rather than be molded like clay.” It is strange how, in a universe governed by relentless change, human beings hunger for constancy — our bodies...
Last edited 7 minutes ago. And I'm finally home again. Surrounded by cats, books, trinkets and worries. It's possible I might disappear for the coming weeks; the lack of gigs from the past few months decided to turn into a wave of one...
I think a big part of the reason the Matrix and particularly Neo was so popular with people (aside from obvious things like the ability to dodge bullets) was because he "rose up" with no effort. That is to say he was sought out. As...

Probably many people have said this before, but it just occurred to me this past week as I have been teaching the dialogue under discussion. The Platonic dialogue that we call the Republic bears the Greek title Πολιτεία (Politeia), which...

Made it to number 100! It's crazy to see that I've written 100 of these posts almost every week (I skipped one week in October 2024 and one in December, same year) for nearly two years. I've done some work on the site recently and you...

Cleaning your room or apartment can be a cleansing activity. If your apartment is dirty or cluttered with things, it also clutters your mind. There will always be this thought in the back of your head that this should be tidy, that this...
I talked about building my Micro Journal in the past here, and how much I like having a distraction-free writing device for blogging, drafting things, and just getting ideas out. Well… I liked it so much that I got another one! This one...
Doing a regular grocery order yesterday,* the Safeway page for their excellent house-brand tomato bisque happened to show, among other things I’d ordered previously, small cans of chopped clams (which I used to use for pasta with white...
I might be hitting a wall. This project has helped me so much in learning how to write, develop routines, and instill a sense of stability in my life that I haven't felt in a long time. I am so grateful to those of you who keep coming...
Today was a long day. Also very warm here reaching 40. Humidity made it seem sometimes hellish. I walk in weather like this sometimes because I have to. It’s this thing that needs doing and I am elected by my feelings and desires. And...
Software and digital security should rely on verification, rather than trust. I want to strongly encourage more users and consumers of software to verify curl. And ideally require that you could do at least this level of verification of...
2026-03-26Hello!Woah. I just realized that if you look back at yesterday's article, and really stare at the image, you start seeing dots. Put the image on fullscreen (or zoom in) and let me know if you also see grid illusions.Anyway, I'd...
If your Lenten resolve has failed, know that you are not alone. This past week I have slipped back into pre-Lent habits and not done as much as I have been in the way of personal prayer, contemplation, and scripture study. This is mostly...

Below are a list of sites that I think are worth both sharing with others, and archiving for my future enjoyment. If you're done looking around here and are looking to surf the web old-school by following links, then click away on...
Madeline [full text], by Ludwig Bemelmans, is rightly a classic of children’s literature. Its iconic imagery and characters have been adapted into numerous other media, and I’d be willing to bet that most readers could finish the second...

March 26, 2026 I've had a Medium account since 2015 with several hundred posts, and still pulling around 500 views a week, all free and outside the Partner Program. I hadn't visited or posted in a very long time. Today, for no particular...
I can't quite remember how I landed on Bear Blog. Maybe I wrote about it, but I'm far too lazy to check right now. I know it was a combination of a few things. Years of being part of the mainstream web finally proved too exhausting to...
Little Molly was obsessed with radios. (Adult Molly is also obsessed with radios.) Thing is, Little Molly didn't get to do much with radios except have one in her bedroom as an alarm clock. Little Molly's parents didn't think twice about...
In my spirit of being slightly controversial, I combined the pages of forest god Hiisi and male Tapio. As requested, I made a page for Tursas/Turilas, but that led me to side tangents and I also added pages for Uros (mythic saviour from...
