Deep Dive into Charlie Kirk and Building a Research Page

Curated on 11 September 2025

Your day was a deep dive into the Charlie Kirk controversy, culminating in you building a research page on Neocities to document his statements. You spent considerable time gathering quotes, analyzing data, and even started scripting a tool to pull all his YouTube video transcripts. Alongside this intense research, you managed several of your personal projects like jig and myriad, dealing with dependencies and Git worktrees. You also had a cluster of medical appointments on your mind, including an MRI scheduled for Saturday.

Summary Points

You dedicated a significant portion of the day to researching controversial statements by Charlie Kirk, using Perplexity AI.
You created a webpage, "Charlie Kirk's Record of Discrimination," on your Neocities site to compile your findings.

Because @builder-io/ai-shell is terrible. Not their fault, really, OpenAI's models just aren't as good.

This Mysterious Heart Syndrome Targets Post-Menopausal Women. Doctors Don't Know Why

IN DECEMBER OF 2022, Linda Zoslocki, a then-69-year-old retired high school counselor in Modesto, California, had a deep cough that wouldn't go away. She was tired, and her legs had been swollen for weeks. When her daughter called on a Saturday to see if Zoslocki wanted to come make pizza with her family, her mother told her she wasn't feeling well and wanted to stay home. Her daughter figured she was struggling with a run-of-the-mill yet stubborn respiratory infection—bronchitis, perhaps.

When her coughing continued all weekend, Zoslocki's husband finally convinced her to go to urgent care. The nurse on duty, a friend, told her she needed to go to the emergency room for a scan. Her problem, it turned out, wasn't bronchitis or any kind of respiratory is

Stuff to get out of storage

Ableton Push 3

I have a Push 2 and a Push 3. I want the Push 3.

The power supply might be a pain in the arse, but I do need it. It was plugged in with the Push on the music table, so might still be with it.

It's rated 20V, 3A, with a barrel plug.

I wrote a brief piece about how MS-related balance issues present, for people who don’t suffer from it but care for and/or love people for whom it’s an issue to try to explain in as much detail as possible how it is.

A few people said they really enjoyed it and found it useful, and a couple of them suggested mailing it to the MS Society, so here I am.

I quote the piece below, and grant the MS Society a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to reprint and edit it in any media. Credit is appreciated (Dave Williams, [email protected] mailto:[email protected]) but not required.

My hope is that it helps people, in any case. As I say, credit appreciated but not required, and you can edit as necessary. I’d be grateful if you could let me know anything you decide to do with it, but again, that’s not required.

I'd like to use your attention for a moment to ask that people don't underestimate what "balance issues" means. I understand that to many this will be like teaching you to suck eggs, but I wrote the thing and thought i
