where do we go, here

Hello

I volunteered this AM. It was nice, the lady in charge didn't seem too keen on anyone though, so I left early.

Therapy tonight at 8:30. That will be very nice.

I sit bowl side in the bathroom, toilet lid down as this is the only room that is truly cool in the immense heat.

Consuming Goldfish crackers and cigarettes. Iced water and hot coffee.

It is nice to “be back” in the bathroom. In the cold months, I keep the window open, smoking while staring across “the black valley” and listen to the coyotes and owls compete in species-adjacent mating calls. I sit here and smoke with goosebumps for the first time all day. Cold is what I am. Where I belong.

The blogs are fluttering about with ChatGPT being down. Asias up-ending the AI world (mostly in hardware). Big Tech trying to rearrange any writing on the wall to investors that what they're looking at is actually a path to profit and progress, instead of a doomsday map.

I am strictly “No AI”. Many are.

IRC buzzes with troubleshooting suggestions on #linux. Sysadmin for the sysadmins. I lurk on COM[] in the moonlight hours.

Emails and RSS. Starred psts for later reading. Which I am proud to do now that I have a Feedbin Premium plan.

I will have another coffee. Hear hear!
