A music player for the terminal, and the largest revolution in human history.

Lazygit is the best client for git repos, in or out of the terminal; planets emerging from the chaos of stellar birth often learn how to dance.

While there are many kinds of money, "fiat money" is the kind that tokenizes the threat of state violence in order to force people to self-organize in the state's interest.

Pyroclear lets you clear your terminal in cleansing fire; European noble families died out after a few generations; perverse incentives backfire and cause the opposite of the effects the state intends.

Dispositio is a tool for project planning in the terminal; a quote from Mika Waltari's 1945 book *The Egyptian*; and how North American languages are constructed fundamentally differently from Eurasian ones, and what that means.

Glow is a beautiful tool for browsing markdown documentation in the terminal; eyeball planets are a peculiar kind of tidally-locked exoplanet that could sustain life; LLMs are rapidly accelerating corpo-slop while leading to a decline in actual programmatic innovation and human collaboration.

GoGo in the terminal, Blightmud for MUDs, the Zanclean Flood and the deepest hole in history, and the emergent complexity of the Game of Life.
