From time to time, I have to admit that I just have too many tabs open. Which means I am not likely to get back to them any time soon. When that happens, I make a post like this and just link out to all the pages I’ve been holding open. That way, I can come back to them if I really want to, and they are no longer using system resources waiting for me to get back to them for whatever idea I had in my head when I left them.

There’s a bunch of videos in this one. I’ve not watched them all. Like every link, every video represents at least one tab I closed today. Yes, I had a lot open. I always do. My last divestment of tabs was June last year. It was overdue.

Last month, I tumbled down a rabbit hole of church-related questions for an essay idea about all the really hard and unanswerable questions. There was a bit of a theme.

AI

I expected more for this section, to be honest.

Are we done?

Not even remotely. This is just as many tabs as I got through before I ran out of steam.

I have a too-many-tabs problem.

What’s in your tabs waiting for you to get back to it?
