It’s so disheartening to see all of these social programs that I thought would live forever be destroyed and show us all just how much we need them as a society. Mutual aid can help us but for how long?

All of AWS went down so we can’t use our mail machine. Almost like… monopolies are bad and maybe the internet should have more free and equal hosting options??

I was talking with some people last night and I put out my statement “I think people who use gen AI are cheap, uncreative, and don’t have friends”. Turns out the other 3 people at the table all have to use it because their jobs demand it.

I truly believe AI is low-effort and anti-community and I hate to see it

Listened to an interview with Senator Fetterman and it just pissed me off. He’s way better than Dr. Oz would be but wtf.

Got to see #davidlynch ‘s Blue Velvet in a movie theater tonight. I didn’t realize how much of that movie I have memorized! I tried to sit and feel it and listen this time - which was harder at times with an audience who laughed a lot. But the message of love and hope was there, under the darkness

I love this scene from The Fabelmans (& the ending that follows). What a lightning-in-a-bottle casting opportunity.

Someday I’ll get off the Zuck apps but they’re what I update more often.
I’m trying to take a slow January to keep momentum and not overwhelm myself, so a few creative hours here and there.

The fact that Republicans are attempting to straight up steal a Supreme Court seat in North Carolina by invalidating over 60,000 legally-cast votes should be getting a lot more attention than it is.

Some years, it’s resolutions. Some years, it’s words. I think the word for 2025 is Balance.
I want to focus on my day-job career, and try to see how I can balance my talents and time with EMP. The last couple of years have been big bold pushes forward and right now I need a little rest.

There's a direct line from Peter Thiel using Hulk Hogan to shut down Gawker cuz he was pissed at their reporting and this blatantly fascistic attack on legacy media outlets.
“The odds of success here are slim to none, but winning in court is not likely the real goal of this lawsuit," said Clay Calvert, a media law expert and professor at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law. "The true motivation is to intimidate the press and journalists.”
Donald Trump is suing Ann Selzer, her polling firm, The Des Moines Register and the newspaper's parent company, Gannett, accusing them of consumer fraud, according to a copy of the filing reviewed by NBC News.

I can’t think of a worse group of people to lose their healthcare. Good luck with all of that, you heartless bastards.
Good to see the even-handed billionaires cutting programs that benefit ordinary people, including those who have fought for our country.
And ending research on disease. But that's consistent with other people Trump is proposing, like RFKJr.

Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516B dollars in government savings — it includes cutting all of Veteran’s Affairs health care, eliminating the NIH, and ending funding for federal prisons. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

When it’s holiday market season, everywhere is a place to make cat toys.
I did finish all of those stick toys today, and cut some holiday shapes to sew and stuff tomorrow.

Guilt is not an effective way to success in your job. Stop trying to make me feel bad, focus on getting the job done.
