I’m both complelely exhausted, even more so than yesterday, and very creeped out by the weird pedo sex goading that was going on all day yesterday. I took some escallation notes, I have no idea if any of this makes any sense. Bear in mind while I’m taking these notes I’m trying as much as possible to get on with productive stuff like listening to podcasts and planning development work on the website and static site generator, and it’s reached the point now where basically nothing is possible, even the escallation notes are just a mess.

Anyway here they are:

  • Teenage kid dressed all in red, appeared out of nowhere in shop cafe, I’m sitting head down typing on my internet device, he passed and says something while waving his hand like he is saying hello except he was basically waving directly at my groin. Then steels my receipt, that was laying on the table, as he walks down the stairs. I manage to grab it back from him while he was looking at it. I think this was the kid from yesterday that was wearing yellow T-shirt and had a yellow plastic bag. Very weird.
  • Btw yesterday evening there was a young woman that got offended at me for sitting in the seat that she had gotten up from a minute earlier. She had a very bright yellow bag.
  • Today one of the female shop staffers that is carrying various stock items up and down the stairs is wearing a dark yellow T-shirt instead of then usual uniform. I bought a banana today, so perhaps that’s why. Based on past experience, invariably, things always get weird when bannanas are involved anywhere. Bananas are like vietnamese cryptonite.
  • Woman sandwich shop vendor for no reason said ‘see’ after I asked for more mayonnaise
  • In the next shop a few minutes later, the woman staffer said ‘more’ before the price I had to pay while I was paying.
  • It’s evening now, woman wearing Fluoro yellow dress behaving oddly sat next to me
  • On the other side of the road woman wearing the most red tight dress ever walking with a small boy wearing a black and white striped tshirt. He looks like a mini version of the security guard that has lots of energy but is also quite fat, from a few days ago at the shop cafe.
  • A bit later a teenage boy wearing all black with apparent family, mother and brother perhaps, sat next to me, across the road was a woman taking photos with camera aimed directly in my direction. Next to the boy a man had attached his white helmet to the bench. They sat, waited to hear my reaction, when I didn’t react they left. They then came back and started to get on a bus but right after getting on they changed their mind and all got off the bus. Note a few days ago a strange old lady tried to get me to get on a bus, motioning ‘come here’ with her fingers.
  • The bus family thing was followed immediately by a white car stoping in front of me, with a woman getting out wearing a very skimpy all white miniskirt and white top.
  • Ow harassment

Don’t know if any of that made sense. I don’t have time to re-read it. I still have to write the newsletter. Really not feeling like doing that. Feeling majorly rushed and overclocked by the world, so I’ll likely have to make some drastic cuts to what I’m doing. Perhaps Elon, Vivek and Doge could slash 2 trillion dollars from all this fucking harassment.

The harassment is so bad I don’t even have the words, let alone energy, to describe it. It’s all consuming. It never ends. It’s like being forced to do other people’s sodoku puzzles, but you have to do your own puzzles too. And not starve. #

cat << EOF > The peaceful transition of humour

This cycle’s transition of humour began last week when satirical publication the Onion bought the right wing conspiracy conglomerate Infowars. Infowars will become a parody of itself while John Stewart’s Daily Show will slowly transition to a serious conspiracy show, selling health supplements. Infowars founder Alex Jones and John Stewart will try to spend the next few months showing each other the ropes. The seriously funny transition is expected to be complete by the new year.

When asked how they felt about the whole situation, neither Stewart nor Jones really knew what to expect:

Stewart: It’s a bit like learning to ride a bicycle with your hands back to front.

Jones: You just have to re-learn when to shout and when to laugh.

Podcaster, extreme mole and right wing communist comedy club owner Joe Rogan enthusiastically commented, somewhat out of context [1:43:29]:

"This is peak woke. This is absolute peak woke insanity."

According to "sources", he apparently went on to say

"Finally my evil plan is fully realised. We are going to have so much fucking fun."

Before riding off doing a wheely on his BMX, spinning the front wheel in 180 degree increments shouting:

"Serious... funny... serious... funny. Hahahaha ... aaaaaaarrrrggh I’m a red blooded man! ... Now I’m a giggling trans woman."

Everyone else’s brain, in his comedy club’s green room, promptly fell out of their heads, but it was fine because John Stewart, the designated driver, had been prepping for the transition for months and was wearing a rubber swimming hat just in case a brain related situation should occur. He was able to drive everyone home, giving everyone an emergency swimming hat and some Alcaseltzer.

It all ended happily ever after, though everyone had a bit of a hangover. The end.

Newsletter writer Mark Smith was interviewed for this piece, but declined to comment, shouting "fake news...fake news" before hanging up the phone.

He then rang us back and said he could not guarantie any of the logic in this post checks out exactly or indeed at all, and told us to subscribe to the newsletter, which he assured us doesn’t have surrealist crazy jokes all that often, it’s mostly tech, javascript, webdev, and a tiny segment pleading for a donation so he can buy a new laptop, and get back to doing normie web development.

He added, "please world don’t punish me for this post, I just want to get back to some form of normality". #

I want the ability to run ChatGPT queries from an iOS Notes note bulleted list.

This would be the workflow:

  • Be able to write a note offline containing many queries
  • Send the note when you get online to a service that runs all the queries and brings back responses that you can store onto your device
  • Read the results offline later

Theorectically ChatGPT ciukd be really awesome for offline workflows, but I don’t see anyone trying to build something around that. #
