“Don’t kill the ants! They’re useful. They eat the candy that’s left on the floor.” - My kid just now.
My 8 y/o was playing Play Doh with a 1 y/o, and we were talking about how it always all ends up mixing together into the same purple-brown color eventually. Once the colors mix, they can’t be unmixed. If you keep mixing colors then eventually it must end up purple-brown. This is a post about LLMs.
I guess it's just frustrating after watching two games where the Kraken had zero energy at all to see them give away someone who can be an energy player for nothing.
I get that they don't really have room for him on the active roster, but the trade deadline is close. Maybe I just don't get how this all works, but it seems like they could have at least used him in a deal, right? Maybe he might be more valuable if he had been waived, so that was their gamble?
The Kraken fucked up letting Tye Kartye go on waivers. They aren't in a position to be giving up 24 y/o assets for nothing. I knew he was gonna get picked up when I saw him get listed. He's young, cheap and has high minor league point totals in his not so distant past.
At this point, I immediately trash any email that obviously used AI. I assume it is unserious.
Like, please, just send me the sentence of info you were gonna plug into the bot. That’s all I’ve ever wanted from an email anyway: The information I need to know in as few words as possible.
It is rude to use LLM bots to pad out text you expect a fellow human being to read. We all only have so much time and energy in a day, and it is disrespectful to waste other people’s time reading words you didn’t take the time to write.
I still have a 10 from 2017. My goal is to at least get it to 10 years. Replaced the battery a few years ago. It’s still a great phone. I am just now starting get apps that won’t install b/c the iOS version is too old. So far, nothing vital. But I know the day is coming.
I’m not usually one to brag about how much better my tech is than yours, but my iPhone is so old it can’t update to iOS 26 or run any AI features.
And now the camera operator went back and forth between someone with an “I’m trying to meet my wife” sign and someone with a “single” sign and everyone’s going crazy because then they met. This game’s crowd engagement is unreal.
Also, someone showed their “No ICE But Hockey” sign on the big screen and it got a huge applause.
Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe and Malala are sitting together at this Torrent game.
LOL they showed Malala and we immediately scored so she has to come to every game now
My daughter doesn’t understand why the line for the women’s bathroom stretches out into the middle of the hall but men can walk in without any wait.
The equality vs equity illustration, except it’s the gendered bathroom lines at a Seattle Torrent game and the lesson is to demolish the patriarchy.
I created a new fiction blog https://tom.fucoloro.com/posts/i-created-a-new-fiction-blog/ ← New post on my personal blog.
A few days ago, I wrote in my personal blog and *gasp* forgot to post about it on social media. Better yet, there is no comment system and I don't even know how to check the analytics on it, so I have no idea if anyone read it. And you know what? It feels good.
Now that I know how to edit posts and blog styles within VSCodium, process those changes with eleventy, then push them to GitHub, which then auto-pushes them to the free (!) web server, I feel so powerful. Free yourself from the platforms and create your own blog! Raise RSS from the dead!
I tried making an eleventy (11ty) site a year or so ago, and I got too confused. But this time, I pushed through and now I get it. If you don't know a lot of about building and theming a website (I didn't), I recommend starting with the base blog theme: github.com/11ty/elevent...
In some ways, it is reminiscent of making my old Angelfire site in the 1990s. There's no active web server, just files already crunched and ready for your web browser to view. For this reason, it is extremely fast and immune to most web server exploits. But also, they are fun to learn and use.
Also, I created my personal blog using hugo and the fiction blog using eleventy, and I love them both. They are static site generators, meaning each time you make a change to the site, your computer rebuilds the whole site and then uploads the finalized html files to a web file server.
I'll be posting very short scenes, character sketches and other random experiments in character development and world-building. You are welcome to follow along (it has RSS). This is the kind of stuff I would normally have done in a private notebook or doc.
I've been missing fiction writing and have been trying to figure out how to work it back into my life. So I wrote this post working through one idea: tom.fucoloro.com/posts/modern...

A record player playing a record with the cover of a Love album standing above it.
This post is brought to you by this $1 scratchy copy of Love’s self-titled album. Such a good album except for that fucking misogynist murder ballad that also craps all over Hendrix and Dylan records and others that I’m forgetting right now but will be rudely reminded of during my next play.
I hate when you’re listening to a perfectly good record and then Hey Joe comes on.
But we embraced it as a long, overly-wholesome adventure game mixed with a reading lesson mixed with an emotional intelligence lesson. It gave a lot to talk about during the several months it took us to make it through the whole thing. I haven’t played another game quite like it. 6/
