A beautiful sci-fi film by writer/director/editor Kogonada. It explores what it means to be alive, navigating themes of love, impermanence, and human supremacy.
Iāll be honest: Iām a sucker for robots. I think itās because they are a lens through which we can see ourselves. Our humanity and our inhumanity. Beep boop.

About a decade ahead of its time. Beautiful production design, amazing score, and a great reminder that all the technology in the world wonāt save us from loneliness or replace our collective human need for each other!! Still canāt see something about AI/GenAI without immediately thinking of this.

You donāt have to be an doomsdayer to tell a really tragic story about artificial intelligence. This movie really captured what AI ended up being likeāI think because itās less about technology and more about people. Havenāt seen it in many years but I bet it hits harder than ever.

Iām not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But itās pretty extreme when people say they āhate kidsā and I often feel itās a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids āshould be.ā That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
Itās fucking hard to be a kid. Youāre dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. Itās confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when theyāre brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe thatās the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
