I’ll get it right next time. https://www.nextyme.net A blog of little importance en Mon, 27 Apr 2026 01:33:58 GMT The Movie ‘Outcomes’ is pretty good https://www.nextyme.net/posts/the-movie-outcomes-is-pretty-good.html https://www.nextyme.net/posts/the-movie-outcomes-is-pretty-good.html 2026-04-26 Joshua B. Smith a brief review of the Keanu Reeves movie Outcomes wasn’t the movie I thought it was. I thought it was a movie sort-of about #metoo and cancel culture and all that. It’s not about that at all. I mean, it has some jokes about that stuff. Some of them are even funny. That’s not the point, though. I think the real point is that people are are complicated.

If I had to sum up the movie it’s really about understanding who we want to be rather than who we want other people to believe we are. We should apologize to those we’ve hurt because it is the right thing to do, we should try to be a good person because it’s the right thing to do. We should give people grace, because sometimes they’re just broke. Sometimes they’re just hurting and don’t know what to do.


I’m also not saying it’s a great movie. It is not a great movie. But it’s pretty good. And Keanu Reeves is a good actor. Also, it reminded me of “A Serious Man” and we should have more movies like both of these movies. I wish I could have seen it in a theatre.

In some ways, it’s not a test in the sense that I’m not really testing anything with the blog.  What I am doing is a bunch of experiments in publishing systems along with LLM driven coding.  

Because Google Docs exists, I have access to an exceptional content authoring system.  While it currently doesn’t really support images, it probably could.  But it does support authoring and editing.  It even supports a kind of draft construction because only the documents in a specific Google Drive folder are published.  

I can even style the text in fancy ways.

One of the documents I read describing a part of the system I was working on made specific mention that it worked with pi.dev and I had never done anything with pi.dev so I thought I’d use it to test out some things.

It was weird. I didn’t realize how opnionionated Claude Code is until I used pi.dev. I then wrote a bunch of code and explored the system a bit. I think it might be a New Thing because I’m definately going to try to prototype some things in it.
