This clip, from one of my favorite movies, is increasingly how I feel these days. Especially when reading yet another story of yet another self-righteous crusader who's found guilty of doing - you guessed it - yet another thing that they were supposedly fighting against. ("Stamp out trailing prepositions!")

There was once a bandersnatch frumious,
that shunned all the borogoves mimsious,
whose toves did outgrabe,
to gyre in the wabe,
and sleep in the slithy tove's brilligness.

Code's eclectic music pick of the day:

What fresh sacrilege is this?

And yet, it definitely works.

Here's Wax Tailor with "How I Feel"

Fascinating. For those who are into security, math, encryption, AI. A (mostly) thoughtful discussion on what might really going on at OpenAI.

If it proves to be accurate, well, it changes everything on the internet and also many things in other aspects of modern life.

Gee, you think?

I know it's silly, but a few years ago this picture provided me with humorously and tearfully odd comfort in a dizzying time.

Since the dizziness is ramping back up, maybe this will help someone else by generating a gutchuckle. If you are a Kaufman fan, this makes total sense:

( and yeah, I guess this qualifies as #politics )

galantamine: Two big thumbs up. Amazing, realistic and enjoyable lucid dreams. While taking galantamine I actually looked forward to falling asleep. Dreams were very interesting, detailed and vibrant. Lucid dreaming was attained on multiple nights. Wish that it was not quite so spendy, though.

But again with the usual disclaimers... everyone's different, your choices are your own, etc.

Anybody else have experiences to share?

Of course, everyone is different, and some people seem to like Huperzine. However, I also found more than one other person whose experience was identical to mine (being trapped within a dream).

My own experiences thus far:

Huperzine: For me, a terrible, horrible, no-good-very-bad experience. First time use, I skimmed along in a dream within a dream. Kept waking up into (what I thought) was my bedroom, in my house, only to find that I was actually still asleep and dreaming. Then it looped. When I finally woke up "for real" it was to a state of confusion (am I really awake now?) and mental exhaustion.

Waited a couple of weeks, tried it again, same experience.

Anybody here into nootropics for dream enhancement?

I'd like to hear about experiences and/or reviews.

Spotify surprised me with a daily playlist that was superb for my tastes and disposition today.

MUCH better than the usual picks, in my experience.

So if you like melodic prog with an occasional foray into either soft or aggressive, you might enjoy this playlist. I know I did.
