Books, planes, building things, family, the environment, democracy. Not in that order. This is me speaking only for me.

Trump in the Oval, alone, seeing this quote. He rubs his forehead. His fingertips turn orange, and his face now looks like he pulled it out of a cast after 3 months. Natalie cakes on more bronzer. He falls asleep mid thought “Person, Woman, Man… *snore*”

Trump in the Oval, alone, seeing this quote. He rubs his forehead. He goes to the window, stares out over the great city. Has he, in fact, betrayed the legacy of his late friend? The thought is too horrible to contemplate. "Heavy is the head," he thinks, quoting Henry IV Part II, his favorite play.

Our language has been completely warped by Big Tech's algorithms, from a generation that's grown up saying "unalive", to the way everyone's censored themselves talking about the Cornell rapists. It's time to fight back against billionaire control of free speech. www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/k...

When the federal government shows motivation to deprive citizens of their voting rights without process, much less due process, that is an illegitimate act. There must be consequences for acting in such a way. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

We’re letting CEOs race to build technology they admit could threaten humanity, then trusting them to write the rules? JB Pritzker has the right comparison: put a high school ethics class in charge. They could not possibly do worse than these chuckleheaded clowns in White House.

No clue if any followers are of a mind to respond to this, but I’ll pass it along just the same. Neat place to work and learn a ton.

I really dislike concerts and games where the crowd is there because they can afford it, and largely don’t give a crap about the event at hand. Which, with the price of tickets these days, seems pretty common.

You can safely drop off your Vote By Mail ballot at Ballot drop boxes, Vote Centers, or you can vote in person at local vote centers as well!

Good to know that historical re-enactors for “America 250 (tm)” won’t have to do a thing to convey the progress in enfranchisement we’ve made since our nation‘s founding. Great work, fellow citizens.

We can build things. We can make life better, but we have to choose to do so. Continuously. Rot and decay are default. Bad actors will always use this for their selfish gain. It’s on the rest of us to resist, to always strive for more perfect.

TNC speaking on institutional capture: “Y’all are punks. Y’all are cowards.” And there it is. Epstein-fluffing, Bari Weiss-promoting, JD Vance-puppeteering punks and cowards.

I’m sitting here, a middle-aged white man in CA with a cat in my lap, alternately ugly crying and feeling raging disdain for my fellow Americans that we let this happen. That this is who we are right now. Why? Bored with decency? Hate for brown people? Who the fuck do we want to be? Not this.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

As a person who has experienced multiple forms of significant pain, I feel it relevant that my single exposure to pepper spray (direct contact, sensitive area) was something that had me fearing death. These acts are craven. These people are ghouls.

All of this. If this is what happens when ICE agents are following their training, then whoever developed that training needs to also be held accountable.
