Attempting to find light amidst the darkness. It often times comes in the for of pepperoni pizza.

Fun things I like: Video Games, Disney Theme Parks, Films, Art, Content Creation, Fun Gadgets and LLMs/GenAI.

Anyway, Gemini would still get these things wrong initially, but LLMs can course correct with added context. Rather than keep insisting on the wrong interpretation until you throw the phone out the window.

Also, the Weekend is okay, but I have developed PTSD when they come up because when driving to Disneyland for the last decade Siri still insists that “Play the Wicked album” means playing Blinding Lights.

And I know... I'm from California. This scenario does not matter, it carries no risks, etc. So maybe even more reason to go for it for me.

I don't know, I don't know anything. I'm just really doubting my voting strategies of my entire lifetime. They don't feel right.

They should fight for our votes during the party primaries, and they should fight even harder after that too. I don't think it is right any candidate to feel that my Democrat vote is locked in after the primaries.

You still have to win me over after that.

And it's not about feeling good, because that's stupid. And maybe this is stupid too, but, I do not want my vote to be taken for granted again and again and again.

Like, why would they listen to our complains if they know we will vote for them?

Anyway, still a registered Democrat, Republicans are fascists, the great majority of third party candidates tend to be woowoos. I don't think I'll ever stop voting Democrats.

But I may have to start writing in their names though if they are not an option.

Why am I to believe that voting for Newsom if he was to become the presidential candidate in 2028 be any different?

Biden did a lot of good things, I don't regret that vote. But, also, it all went poof. It all went poof. And in great part his administration is responsible for that.

And after every election, whatever gains the Republicans make they have used to chisel away at the things that protect us. And the many of the Democrats we have elected have failed to successfully oppose most of it.
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
But you have to realize, I've been voting like this, "for the lesser of two evils" since I came of age.

Every Republican candidate since Bush's last term has been an existential threat to our freedoms and values. And after the Tea Party that became more so.

Then there's the ACA, and SNAP, and, and... and...

Worst case scenario is already here, yes, things can get worse, and you will say, this is exactly why we should not make risky decisions, or risky changes of strategy.

As it is now we have to wait years to even begin addressing the situation with all the lives being ruined by ICE.

It brings me great sadness and heart break and fear.

This should have never happened. And there's so much more that Democrats should be doing right now. So much more.

Blue no matter who. Down the ballot. What did that get us?

And what will it prevent if we do it again next year? If we start putting people in death camps, that's when they will figure out how to become an opposition party?

Or will we have to wait for the next round of elections?

I struggle, a lot, to grasp what's happening right now with the kidnapping of American residents for deportation. It's the absolute worst nightmare scenario what's happening. On top of everything else.

And I keep asking myself, what did voting for the lesser of two evils achieve?
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Except, I do not believe they are that incompetent. I also do not believe they have good intentions.

I feel there's a lot more that Democrats in leadership positions could be doing right now to at least be a better opposition party. And they are not. And I think that's intentional.
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
It is clear a lot of Democrats take our votes for granted. And it is clear that many Democrats have convinced us that voting for them is the only thing preventing us from the harm of the Fascist Republican Party.

They may "be incompetent" but they have good intentions.
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
However, I do not longer think that "voting for the lesser of two evils" is as good as a strategy as I thought it was. At the very very least, I cannot do what I did last time and encourage my peers to vote blue down the ballot.

I think that has helped create the situation we're in.

I want to stop responding to the common criticism, but I also want to say, this doesn’t replace an existing anything.

This is complimentary to all the other resources you already have at your disposal.

I think using LLM before reaching out to a Tutor would only strengthen that interaction.

And if you still don’t get a concept, you can keep asking about it. Have it be explained differently. You can also be like, “Ok, let me know if I’m understanding this correctly…”

And the chatbot will tell you what you got right or wrong, and often times will tru on its own different approaches.

I could spend an entire day drawing here… if the park didn’t have rides. :P

The animators are so nice, and everyone is always so happy drawing.

If this closes to make room for Avatar Land I’ll be so so sad.

My hope is that Scrooge is not a Halloween character but a Christmas one. Which would make sense given his role in Christmas Carol.

This was 11/9/2025 class schedule at the Animation Academy:
