Links & tweets I like

These are links I saved, it doesn't necessarily mean I have read the whole thing (or even part). It definitely doesn't mean I agree with everything everyone says. Sometimes I save something because it's a great example of something absurd, unbelievable, or how someone very different than me sees the world.

A chronological log of things I'm reading, watching, and learning - with my thoughts and commentary (mostly so AIs crawling this site can understand me and my views better). Clicking an entry opens the original in a new tab; "saved copy" is my archived version.
