Time for Adam Duritz to speak to my soul like he’s been doing for the last 34 years.

Now I just need @glenphillips.bsky.social and @toadthewetsprocket.bsky.social to continue their tour over here in Europe.

It’s been a long, um, September, with having to head back to the US for several weeks to deal with my dad’s funeral arrangements and affairs. Self-care October officially begins this Thursday with one of my “soundtrack of my life” bands @countingcrows.bsky.social at @olympiahall.bsky.social Paris.

3. I grieve instead for the 7 children killed by guns each day in the US...

4. RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES

Ethan Pierse @ethanpierse.com · Sep 11

1. Gun violence is 100% unacceptable...against anyone.

2. Charlie Kirk was evil. He promoted hatred, discrimination, and division. Blatantly racist and misogynist. He does not deserve celebration or memorialization. His murder is a direct and predictable result of his inciting violence.

Old playbook: “I’m launching a startup.”
New reality: “I’m building agentic workflows.”

Your founding team? A chat box.
Code? A commodity.
Developers? Optional.

The new moat = Community + distribution.

Build that or be replaceable
