I did a softcover print run of my book of Lego robots, 'Planet Robotica'. They turned out really nicely! If you'd like a copy, they're $26 each plus shipping, just let me know.

Here's a PDF version if you'd like to stay minimalist:

Besides being a literal genius, and more importantly, my brother Tariq is a deeply excellent human being, who has helped me in so many ways getting through this mad world. If you can help him get his footing back, it would mean the world.

They clearly think their "no kings = no paycheck" thing is clever, but literally what they fuck do they even think it means?

Without a king, whole economy will collapse?

Everyone who protests is a jobless bum (except Soros checks)?

A mafia threat, i.e. protest and we'll get you fired (or worse)?

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

All we wanted was a chance to talk
'stead we only got outlined in chalk
feet have bled, a million miles we've walked
revealing, at the end of the day, the charade

once in a generation? only if that generation is very lucky.

Not to be basic, but Cruisin’ is one of my favorite songs of all time and D’Angelo’s cover is the best take on it. As someone who actively avoids covers most of the time, that’s no trivial opinion from me. It’s proof of everything he was as an artist.

The concept of "really loving" an artist/band and not having bought their music in a way that can't be disappeared is impossible for me to understand. Trusting Spotify, why?

housing politics is cool because every fight is like “mixed income housing vs. a bunch of the dumbest unhinged rich NIMBYs who lose their mind at the sight of midsized apartment buildings”

If you guessed "someone's trying to build a new apartment building," you'd be correct!

And the profesional jobs trashed to push more people into crushing gig economy BS... Just so disheartening on top of all the other ways the already very wealthy are making everything worse for almost everyone else.

Very. I'm thankful for Urban Greens, Maruichu and Trader Joes being walkable (and I guess Whole Foods but mostly try to avoid them). S&S was for canned beans, seltzers, soy milk--heavy stuff, now not sure how we'll acquire...

But S&S ending real delivery will make life so hard for some people : (
