I bought a blind bag of comics at Forbidden Planet last week, and have been reading through them this week. When I was a kid I didn’t have enough cash to consistently buy comics, so I would randomly drop in the middle of arcs; since this bag is a mix, it felt oddly nostalgic to just get a middle slice of a story.

Finished reading: On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. A vital work. With American fascism in full swing, you can’t afford to miss it. At 120 small pages, and under eight bucks for a hard copy, there’s no excuse. 📚 🇺🇸 ✊

The defense against slop and brainrot - by Paul Jun. Great short read on how doing basic hard brain things makes you smart, and how that will increasingly be a differentiator in the world.

Why did I watch this? It’s some real dime store cats in the cradle shit, while being wrong minded sixteen different ways.

Another excuse to continue not listening to KISS. 🇺🇸🎵

I’ve been reading less books this year. The overwhelm of our crumbling democracy inside the United States has been devastating, which I’ve used as an excuse to feed my screen addiction.
I’m making a conscious effort to take a step or two back from internet consumption, and read more physical books. Amidst a wealth of inspiration from On Tyranny, this quote is present for me right now.
Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey the thing you think everyone else is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.
Thought matters. Your thoughts change, for the better, I think, when they’re slower. As painful as changing any addictive habit can be, I’m trying to slow down and read. 📚 🇺🇸

I visited Flushing Meadows Park this past weekend, biking from my apartment up 31st Ave. Lovely day. Snapped a few shots of some sculpture.

Neovim Smart Lists
Lists. They can be smart. These lists are not going to win a Nobel or anything, but #Neovim can be configured to grow some efficiencies from other editors. Smart.
Let’s say you’ve created a markdown list, like this.
* The start of my list <-- cursor is here
Then, when you press Enter, the same list marker you were using is automatically inserted for you.
* The start of my list * I didn't have to type "*"!
In addition, I wanted a few more features.
If the line is otherwise empty, except for the list marker, pressing Enter deletes the item and gives you a new line.
Numerical lists should increment.
It should also work for the non-standard “task” list type, aka - [ ] .
I came up with a little mapping, which does the detection with REGEX.
-- Inside ~/.config/nvim/ftplugin/markdown.lua vim.keymap.set('i', '<CR>', function() local line = vim.fn.trim(vim.api.nvim_get_current_line()) local bullet = string.match(line, '^[%*|%+|%-]') local num_bullet = string.match(line, '^[%d]*%.') local task_bullet = string.match(line, '^%-%s%[%s%]') if not bullet and not num_bullet and not task_bullet then return '<CR>' end if line == bullet or line == num_bullet or line == task_bullet then return '<Esc>0Do' end if task_bullet then return '<CR>' .. task_bullet .. ' ' end if num_bullet then return '<CR>' .. num_bullet .. ' <Esc>0<C-a>A' end return '<CR>' .. bullet .. ' ' end, { buffer = true, expr = true })
I’m sure there’s more efficient ways of doing this! If you know any, yell at me.
