Fuck it, I’m gonna go read a book. DM for Signal contact info. Also, @abayer on cohost and bluesky and apparently @abayer@mastodon.cloud, I guess.

My GitHub profile is at github.com/abayer, which I’m definitely not mentioning because it has a link to somewhere else you can find me. If you know what I mean.

So Pulp turned me into a puddle of feelings, as they did the previous two times I saw them, and I am still recovering.

I'm rereading 2312, and something I always appreciate about Kim Stanley Robinson is that he doesn't refer to the absence of law as anarchy, but as "a libertarian free-for-all".

I will always be a fan of anarchosyndicalist thinkers, even if they're not fans of my statist syndicalist leanings, but fuck libertarians forever.

While it's obviously reprehensible for Elon to give anything to Kadyrov (who isn't exactly a trustworthy sort, so who knows), I find the idea of a Cybertruck technical to be hilariously dumb.
Kadyrov said he received a Tesla Cybertrack from Elon Musk. He promised to send it to the "special military operation" zone and attached a machine gun to it. "Elon, thank you! Come to Grozny, I will receive you as the most dear guest! I do not think that our Russian MFA will be against such a trip. And, of course, we are waiting for your new developments that will contribute to the completion of the SMO," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Gas guzzlers are gonna be the bulk of motorized combat vehicles for a whiiiile to come. It's a lot easier to bring extra gas or get resupplied in a warzone than to find a functioning Supercharger.

Ha. My ancient refuse-to-upgrade Twitter app on my iPad suddenly decided it doesn’t know what to do with embedded images. Guess something changed.

Ah, now they’re working again. I get weirdly excited to see if/when they break tweet behavior enough to cause my ancient version of the app difficulties.

I don't remember who told me that the Kunsthaus Zürich is great, but they were extremely right. Fantastic museum.

Oh, hey, Zürich. Been a little bit since I've seen any of you but the airport!

In retrospect, I should have planned this part of my trip a little better. Luckily I'm not tooooo jetlagged...

Ha. I am so jetlagged that (a) I posted on social media in the first place, and (b) I tweeted here rather than posting on Bluesky. Stupid Elon, shattering my one social network...

Hey, @amtrak, you know what's extremely not good customer service? Calling my friend the day before her 22 hour train ride to tell her you've downgraded her from a roomette to coach.

I'm Select Plus, and I booked this trip for her to visit me, and you've screwed up so badly that I have to tweet at you. I'm on hold waiting for your customer relations people to fix this.
