I had a dream I was withdrawing money from an ATM. Every PIN I tried was correct.

Imagine a four-year-old halfway through coloring all those tiny hats, telling themselves, “Finishing matters more than winning the prize.” So, a supposedly relaxing coloring sheet is so tedious that the kid needs the same pep talk as the pilot. A tribute to AI wonders of modern times, indeed

And by the way, you can still recognize Joe in this line: “Finishing matters more than winning the prize.” I always chuckle at his manner (it is not Dostoevsky below as you can imagine) nitter.cf/maintcraft/status/1284…
'Modern cities breed violence in an almost guaranteed way The production of alienation via their antihuman geometries (barring some very specific neighborhoods) does not give conditions that can produce living harmony. Period. Aesthetics matter' F. Dostoevsky / Unpublished 1864

By the way, did you know you should never project words onto a screen and talk at the same time? It confuses your audience. Either they read or they listen to you. I have a book that’s basically about this.

This is an unfortunate misconception. According to the Tao, whatever you do is genuine, even if you’re trying to fake it. :)
People were fake long before AI.

This is an unfortunate misconception. LinkedIn is great for finding jobs, but actively applying for them there can be counterproductive. LinkedIn works best when you use it to show what you do best so other people can find you.
linkedin is useless for finding jobs where are people actually getting hired in 2026?

In the end, the most interesting thing about quotes is the people who quote them. Or the most uninteresting.

I understand people are reserved, but being anonymous and reserved is reader abuse. The worst thing, of course, is to be boring, anonymous, and reserved on X. That’s outrageous :)

Each nature acts according to its own properties: the human hand raises the young girl, the divine restores her to life; the human feet walk on the surface of the water, because the divinity has made it firm. It is not the human nature that raises Lazarus, it is not the divine power which sheds tears before his tomb,’ said St. John the Damascene. Vladimir Lossky / The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church
