I think worldo is exponangry. That’s when you get 10 times more angry every single day. Since worldo doesn’t know how to stop, the only way out is to blame somebody else.

The morning 'Hey, go home!' motorbike stalker bloke sounded kind of angry this morning instead of his usual cheeriness. That’s exponangy for you.

Let’s get straight to it, yesterday’s escallations:

  • Small amount of money thrown on the ground near me when I wasn’t looking in the very early morning.
  • Woman from yesterday wearing the pink shorts and pink shoes that did the whole manufactured chat with the baby walker just cycled past, wearing yellow, and quietly shouted ‘owe’ at me. I hate to point out the obvious but it very much seems like she’s creating the problem she’s complaining about. Next blocking then escalations , then everything blamed on me.
  • On the way to the internet place, near where fruit slices have been repeatedly placed and on occasion caused me to fall and slam into the ground, an envelope was left next to a tree, which a yellow piece of paper next to it.
  • A shoe shine bloke sits on the floor shining shoes directly on front of me while I’m standing at the internet place. Quite unusual.
  • Pink shirts and shoes middle aged woman keeps passing by. A bit odd.
  • At both the hot water & egg shop and the shop cafe got forced into taking a small plastic bag despite requiring a big plastic bag. Other customers were allowed large plastic bags.
  • Tall western bloke, apparently a teacher, that sometimes passes through the shop cafe was walking with a limp today. Sun first thought was it was the world front running my next mutilation. Sure enough 30 minutes later I discovered a small pussy spot on my leg. But if a bad omen considering I previously spent 7 months fighting off leg wound infections which I wrote about extensively at the time, about 2 years ago now. This feels like intimidation to me. Worldo loves intimidation when it gets angry, while pretending not to be angry.
  • School kid on a mission to rebel by belching
  • Shortly followed by older school girls on a mission to rebel by saying ‘Aaah!’ and ‘lie!’. Likely an even bigger fish will enter the shop cafe in a bit. Perhaps with commentary from David Attenborough.
  • Got diverted to walk through a patch of grass I don’t normally walk through. Seems like there were some fire ants there. Both my feet started burning really badly, I guess from the apparent ants. Very painful. Oh a double leg mutilation, what a surprise. No worldo isn’t angry at all!

I got a few small follow on features from the item hash links feature done yesterday. I have a few more of those today. Hopefully worldo won’t flip out in an anger tsunami while pretending to be absolute zero, while blaming everything on me. #

Best This Week in Startups podcast episode ever. All about Bitcoin and Michael Saylor, and also Elon’s pay package. Fantastic deconstruction from Jason, not without it’s faults, at times was doing exactly what he was complaining about in the person he was critisizing, but that isn’t to say that there isn’t very valuable insight brought out. Getting to the core of an issue is a bumpy ride sometimes. It’s a must listen for anyone in tech or even I would say for folks in politics. #

Why is everything a max edge case these days? Max edge case vs max edge case vs max edge case. #

Interesting main segment on the latest Rest is Politics podcast episode all about the Irish elections which happened a few days ago. Alistair goes into the history of the various parties, which clears up some of my confusion about irish politics. I’m still somewhat unclear where on the left-right spectrum the parties lie, but perhaps that’s the point? Maybe the left-right spectrum doesn’t really describe Irish politics very well? Anyway worth listening to, even though the RIP guys seem to have bizarely neglected to mention the segment entirely in their show description, despite the fact that it’s rather good.

There’s a bit of a bug going around at the minute of people fixing things while breaking them, allowing while blocking, and highlighting while covering up. Seriously, I’m only half joking, it’s happening multiple times per day where I am. But I’m seing signs of this sort of thing everywhere. So much so I suspect it’s civilisation level emergent behaviour. A sort of yes no yes no yes no thing.

Anyway, it appears they’ve been hit too. Oh noes! Get well soon gents.

Also in the episode, Stalmer’s big reset, the battle for Syria and political mayhem in France. #

Well the latest Rogan with Mike Benz Ep#2237, former official with the U.S. Department of State and current Executive Director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, is kinda fascinating, and I’m only 16 minutes into it.

TWIST is trending. Another weird synchronicity day. #
