Sometimes I like to listen to Korean pop music while I go through my background processes to kill the ones that shouldn’t be running anymore. You could say I’m a KPop Daemon Hunter.

I’m curious why there’s a drop in the number of girls wanting to not get married but boys have stayed basically constant. The survey definitely shows like women have a lower desire for children, but how much does the decline in the institution of marriage play into this rather than an underlying change in a desire for families? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/11/14/12th-grade-girls-are-less-likely-than-boys-to-say-they-want-to-get-married-someday/

Updated to macOS Tahoe. Of course Apple broke a whole bunch of scripting APIs that I use. Apparently you just can't get the currently playing song title in Apple Music with Applescript because fuck you I guess. Every update, I start to more seriously consider switching to Linux for my next laptop. I hate feeling like I'm a guest on my own computer begging for the ability to get access to the internal state of my own laptop.

She definitely does not lol. She has enough of marketing acumen that she could release 3 hours of a single note and fans would eat it up.

The new Taylor Swift album feels like the songwriter version of computer scientists whiteboard masturbating. She spent so much time flaunting how clever she is at writing lyrics that she forgot to actually make good music. Everything just comes out sounding blandly floaty. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whiteboard%20masturbation

Just realized that all the icons in the macOS System Settings app change sizes when the window is frontmost vs not. Why in the world would this be helpful? https://blossom.primal.net/a3cfb9885692158dc29a67735cd819d11b1a62de3e97867e41843cf9a4f2bc34.mov

What a load of bs. First of all, the statement at the bottom about zero diagnosed conditions in the unvaccinated group is a flat out lie. But don't trust me, verify. Unlike Flash I'll even give you the link. Go read the testimony. https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Siri-Testimony-1.pdf The unvaccinated group was far smaller so there should be less diagnoses. This is just basic stats illiteracy. The Henry Ford study is an unpublished and non peer reviewed study. Read the response from the Stanford professor who also testified in front of the senate. https://www.statnews.com/2025/09/09/aaron-siri-smoking-gun-vaccine-chronic-disease-study-flaws/ If you scroll to the end of the study, even the authors admit that their study is fundamentally flawed. The vaccinated kids had far more health checkups than the unvaccinated kids, and therefore far more disease diagnoses. It's that simple. This is not a smoking gun, just a very poorly designed study. The funniest part about all of this is that after all of the work RFK Jr. went through to find this study to cherry pick, the Henry Ford study still says that vaccines don't cause autism. Meaning RFK Jr. is now cherry picking results within cherry picked studies. If you place any trust in RFK Jr. or Flash media on Nostr after this debacle I don't know what to say to you. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqntcggz30qhq60ltqdx32zku9d46unhrkjtcv7fml7jx3dh4h94nqqswrxmjnc7cfjv84jtqrs7nzcz96rrzrqg3vdnfyl8vdmxst0mwx8s7cxu3t

https://manifold.markets/nathanwei/will-the-un-declare-a-famine-in-gaz Can't believe I got rug pulled by the UN. What a joke. I forecasted that the UN wouldn't declare a famine in Gaza because a real famine requires 2 deaths per 10k, which works out to ~420 deaths per day. The chances of this happening are insanely low and you've been brain rotted by your news feed if you think it is. What I failed to factor in was the possibility that the UN would just change its definition of what a famine is by removing the 2 deaths 10k requirement completely. The situation in Gaza is definitely bad, but focusing this much on what words we use to describe it (genocide, famine) is not helpful and distracts from the actual situation on the ground. Semantics are stupid, just focus on the facts.

Kinda can't believe Taylor is actually getting married. What will all those celebrity shows do now that they can't speculate on her love life?

Fair enough. It’s on-device so it doesn’t really concern me, and I doubt most people care either way, but it’s easy to disable if it really does freak you out. I would still count it as Apple going out of its way to keep private information on your own device rather than uploading it to some AWS bucket to log forever like most companies would.
