Oh oh oh I also remembered someone's name and then used it in a conversation. That's big for me. I'm working on that.

I have been thinking about how many of these members of ICE/DHS are being spoken about by this administration as having been 'highly trained Border Police' who've been serving down at the border for years.

I wonder how many Brown people they murdered down there? With no one taking video?

Because, if you look at the guys who killed Good and Pretti there's a common theme - you don't murder with that kind of casual brutality without practice.

Today was memorable. I woke up, inexplicably, at 4:30AM. I ate a bacon-egg-and-cheese.

I changed my break lights. I worked.

I picked up a man hitchhiking, bought him hamburger meat at Walmart, then drove him home. His name is Joe. We exchanged numbers.

A project bid I thought was dead may be approved after all.

A person smiled at me at a coffee shop. There was a design agency in it. I exchanged numbers with the owner.

I went to goodwill, bought this shirt—“things go better with Coke.”

I’d like to give a shout out to @gerrymcgovern for his book to be released on February 2 .

I’m in the process of reading it.

All of us here are well aware of his tireless efforts to raise awareness of the cost of AI and data center operations to our pocket books, our and the planet’s health.

I’d like to encourage people to boost Baldur’s post. On mastodon people are the algorithm. Let’s do this.

As a company that has long boasted about its commitment to principles, Apple has had a bad several months. It removed ICE Block from the App Store. It let X remain, empowering its users to create child porn, which is apparently “free speech” now. After two American citizens were killed by ICE, Tim Cook responded by attending a special screening of the Melania documentary. It’ll be hard to believe that Apple believes anything it says after all this. When principles mattered, Apple collapsed.

This is Norbert. He was Max's brother

He was an adventurer, an explorer, a glorious agent of absolute chaos

When one of us left the house, the other would have to distract him. If he saw me cycling away, he'd run along the pavement excitedly. He would have happily followed me the 12 miles to work, loving every second

I don't believe in ghosts, but I make an exception for Norbert. He is with me everywhere I go, sitting on my shoulder, still fascinated by the world
