It didn’t even occur to me that Deadloch is mostly about women, even though that shouldn’t be surprising, given who made it.

I had a similar revelation after I played through Forspoken. I assumed it would be a target for the anti-woke brigade since the protagonist is a black woman, but it was only after finishing it clicked that every character of consequence is a woman (with one exception I won’t mention for spoiler reasons).

If the story keeps you invested, genders are pretty irrelevant. I think genre expectations can shift if we don’t draw attention to them.

Have you tried Gleam?

This is the accepted writing style at my work, and it’s been driving me nuts for years. I’m talking about the copy we put on all our public facing materials. Even our resident linguists hate it, but apparently someone high up thinks it’s industry standard.

Remembering this just made me happier to be leaving soon. They’re so resistant to challenging entrenched habits. I should have seen these signs when I started.

Just ask the AI how to turn $1 into $100M with high frequency trading!

I’ll say the obvious because of where we are. Lemmy Kilmister.

Peep Show is my human litmus test. Seeing how people react to that show can tell you a lot about them.

I don’t know which was first, but around 4 or 5 years old I had a bunch of dreams that I confused with reality. They were so vivid, even now when I’m back in that town I half expect to see these impossible things.

A towering rock garden in the park, a hair comb shaped like an ice block, a man in a beefeater costume who gave rides in his horse drawn cart, a singing black cat on the fence of that house on the corner,…

Musical heirs.

That’s how I feel with running and cycling. Moving meditation has always worked better for me than trying to sit still.

The first 1km or so can be rough, but that’s just finding where your rhythm is for the session.

I need to get back into running.
