Was thinking tonight, a lot, about a variety of things after checking my daughter’s homework. The state of the world. Work. Gym. The importance of reading comprehension. Being a strong dad (and the many ways one can be) and a kind man. Inevitably, it led me to finally subbing @channel6.bsky.social

This is all incredibly tied together, and might not make sense to some, but it makes a lot of sense to me. And it reminds me that I need to buy a journal, a pen, and handwriting be damned.

Who the fuck is we.

the thing is we’ve fully normalized spending $5 an hour continually just to do software development. so the revenue flow is there, we just need to divert a tiny bit of it to the authors of the great stuff we rely on

This America 250 stuff is going too far. They got King George writing op eds for the AP.

A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.

I got a steroid shot in my knee yesterday for a meniscus tear. My doctor emailed me this morning to remind me not to hit leg day yet. I’m an easy read it seems.

As someone from Youngstown, can confirm. “Why won’t you come back to visit family?!” Why would I?!

My family is from Pune Bluff, Arkansas, which has actually been voted the worst and most miserable city in the U.S. depending on who took the like survey. But all that said: Youngstown, Ohio, was pretty rough once you got off campus.

“When you shoplift it makes things more expensive for everyone else”. Interesting thought buddy. Hey, follow up, when I put my hand over my eyes, do you still think I stop existing?

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

A bunch of athletes reported their medals detaching from their ribbon, causing dents and in one case, breaking in half. In response, the Olympics organizing committee is re-checking all the medals. n.pr/4tvbKg5

It’s not though.

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Wait all this vitriol is over someone from Terf Island, the island famous for its imperialism, saying Americans aren’t prepared for how hated they are? Come on.

“Americans aren’t prepared for how much they’re hated” we’ve been told since the 2000s that if we are abroad to say we’re Canadian I don’t think there’s a people more prepared for this.

Won’t matter they’ll still lose to the Globetrotters every time. Starting to think it’s rigged.
