  • There’s a nice short story I once read about how when people reach their 70s, they develop psychic powers and join a brotherhood/sisterhood of psychics consisting of every elderly person on the planet keeping the horrors of space at bay.

    These horrors manifest as nightmares targeted at children, but the elderly fight the mental battles for them every night. The battles are hours long, mentally taxing, and the wounds manifest the next day as a slow crawl towards Dementia.

    Anyway, this comic reminded me of that before I undestood the sex stuff










  • I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.

    Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can’t drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don’t sleep at midnight.

    Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It’s a losing battle. It’s also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I’m doing, which isn’t very much. I wonder if it was just the caffeine all along
