I got laid off at the beginning of last month so put a little time into some personal projects I thought might be fun.

https://dstld.news - I have always wanted a personalized news site so I built one using a few news APIs with AI summaries.

https://hn.wreet.xyz - I'm a big fan of skeleton.dev and wanted a HN frontend with all the fun themes.

Nothing too exciting, just trying to find the joy in making again.

Same. I've never had to use it to abort a trip personally, but I've seen it done and the person said it turned it off too.

We already have one. Give someone having a bad trip a Xanax and they're good.

I like how the conservative BBC, writing from a country whose murder rate is double that of the Netherlands, is trying to hype up violence Amsterdam because they don't like drugs. What a bunch of shit.

As someone who is building a doomsday device I am curious about this too.
