The more i explore what org documents are capable of, the more i realize how many people are sleeping on org documents.

Did you know you can set per document font type, size, and line height using in document local variables? Ive been converting ebooks to text, and formatting them into org docs.

ive got an unapologetic nerd crush on @bashbunni.dev
primarily because, aside from looking like that, she actually has code chops, integrity, and drive. 👍

After a month of binge watching Protesilaos Stavrou, and reading posts from Sacha Chua, and Old Deuteronomy, Ive gotten my Emacs config to a nice place that feels comfortable and powerful. 🤓

we will not be able to keep pace with, or out compete the coming AI slop corporate internet. We will have to intentionally choose to build and live outside of it.

i’ve wondered why the political establishment hates trump so much. now im leaning towards thinking it’s because even a shmarmy, narcissistic douchebag like Donald Trump makes them look bad by being less corrupt than they are.

at one point in the 1500s, the writings of Erasmus accounted for 20% of all book sales in Europe.

people who passionately believe trump is the hero, are just as stupid as those who passionately believe he is the villain. both are shallow, unstable, emotionally led people who should be marginalized in rational conversation.

describing something to a corporate ai is not a unique creative act. you are not an artist.

if you want to learn how not to write elisp, ask chatgpt.
