Just thinkin' out loud. Dedicated (cheap) hardware for mesh network communication. Like the raspberry pi of non-internet communication.

I wonder how cheap something like that could be made

Amazing to me that we're approaching 4,600 songs shared on Crucial Tracks and 90% of them are unique.

Just proves how powerful music is as an art form, communication/connection/empathy tool, and completely subjective and personal. I've definitely learned a ton through this project. Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far... 😄

I'm going to give #Qobuz a try as an alternative to #Tidal so there's one less subscription going to a US company. The last.fm integration seems to be working and all my music seems to be there. Wish the app icon on iOS was a bit prettier since it's going on my task bar...

My very good friend is Minnesotan. They're a unique bunch. Very kind. Very badass.

What they're doing out there is tough and brave. They absolutely deserve our gratitude.

I need to do #3GoodThings tonight.

1. Stumbling on an old forum. A moment in time, frozen. It's always surreal in a good way.

2. A heavy cotton hoodie in that boxy cut that the kids like (or liked idk). I love a good hoodie.

3. Florida thunderstorms. They can last for hours. Waking up in the middle of the night because it's just thundering like crazy is somehow nice and cozy to me.

Like, at what point do we get to say that Dems aren't just spineless, they're co-conspirators in the rise of fascism? Because that is 100% the story history will tell. There are no mighty moderates of history. Just the cooptation of dead radicals.

Sure, Dems rather it not be fascism. But when it comes down to it, they'll choose fascism over democratic socialism every time because the latter will hurt their stock portfolios.

#NoKings, a movement demanding that something should not exist, can't bring themselves to say “Abolish ICE”

Some liberals are okay with the gears of fascism so long as they're the ones pulling the levers.

Literally nothing happened after we learned that ICE was issuing forced sterilizations to Latines in Georgia. Last I checked, in 2023, the doctor they used was still practicing medicine.

No one will ever get me to understand why the 70 people who got sterilized didn't become the center piece of bodily autonomy discourse.

A Solitary Cabin - Deprecation Notice:

"And Chet. Chet in his Patagonia vest and Allbirds, Chet who has an MBA from Northwestern and once met Paul Graham at a conference, Chet who says things like “we’re not a company, we’re a family” while denying health insurance to contractors."

Chet is the reason I’ve white-knuckled freelance for 11 years. The Master of Business Administration degree gives people hot dog brain. https://asolitarycabin.org/deprecation-notice.html

I've been seeing a lot of Partiful links for event RSVPs.

Partiful is a service created by Palantir employees.

Palantir created and operates vast surveillance and data-correlation services used by ICE, among other clients.

Here are a few cites, others are a websearch away:

https://www.thecut.com/article/wait-partifuls-founders-worked-at-palantir.html

https://nyc-noise.com/drone-party/

I am sharing this information because there could be personal safety implications for using a service that is likely sharing data with ICE.

My message to Senators:

❝The correct amount of funding for not just ICE but the •entire Department of Homeland Security• is zero. ZERO. You heard me: the entire agency. Under current leadership, it is off the rails. It is dangerous. It it a menace.

“More training” is a pathetic non-answer; that just means more money. These murderers are trained; they are just monsters. Don’t say “better oversight.” Don’t say “more reforms.” Pull the rug. Switch it off. • Shut • it • down • NOW •

If you have to shut down every airport in the country because the TSA budget is in there too, then you shut down every damned airport in the country. If you have to shut down the federal government again, you shut it down. Your inaction is sleepwalking the country into civil war. SHUT. IT. DOWN.❞
