In the Hudson Valley it snowed all weekend. I took the dog for a long hike in the woods, then stayed in and made music. It was quiet and I turned off notifications.

A way for music streamers to pay musicians reasonably is to limit who gets paid and who doesn't. A variant on ranked choice voting: set a threshold on what is a reasonable minimum pay; cut pay for the bottom N musicians; if the worst-paid ones don't pass the threshold, increment N and try again.

Online social networking like Bluesky should converge with offline social networking like Meetup. It’s not about the internet stuff, it’s about human connection.

A poem (in the spirit of Henry Gibson)
Swapping out Trump
While replacing with Vance,
Is like changing your shirt
All while shitting your pants.

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff before admitting they had no warrant to be there. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

Best shark ever
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
