Swap published columns for 24 entries from random.md
Some checks failed
Deploy to S3 / deploy (push) Failing after 1m24s

Retract the seven published columns into drafts/ and promote the 24 per-date
entries split out of Notes/random.md. Bodies are verbatim; titles, subjects
and slugs are new.

Make publication a matter of location. Notes/Notes.11tydata.js gives anything
under Notes/ permalink: false unless tagged `column`; drafts/drafts.11tydata.js
renders drafts at their real permalink under `yarn dev` and excludes them from
collections entirely in a build, so no template can surface one. Publishing is
now `git mv drafts/<file> columns/`, and moving it back retracts it.

Untagged notes were previously rendered into _site/ and deployed — including
Notes/random.md, which was live at /Notes/random/.

Momentum of daily practice.
It's frightening to imagine a world where our basic human wants and desires are satisfied by drugs, some highly calibrated stimulation, magnetically induced neural effects, rather than the good ol' fashioned methods. Run a marathon. Climb a mountain or read a book, find religion.
How long would we last? If the urge to fuck and reproduce could be mollified by a pill or programming...
Maybe we could prescribe it for hospice care.
We design an interface for our users, but maybe it should be the other way around -- let the people / AI / etc. tell us what they need and how, and they can build their own clients on demand with LLM agents and what have you.
It's not that I'm stupider, it's that I'm feeling less secure.
Don't we want to push the warzone out?
Why keep it tucked within our walls?
If you want peace, do you invite war to your walls.
How much of the vacuum of space is just due to its hostility to existience?
We moved our media from denser and denser physical disks to a datacenter elsewhere. What's next? Where are the bottlenecks?
Capacity constraints? Datacenter can scale but only so far as the physical infrastructure exists.
Decentralized infra. The volley between DC and client. Let the clients do more (when there are more clients than servers).
Fuck it - be willing to fail.
