We wear Rebellion & Punisher logos, listen to Greenday, cheer for Star Trek, The Fellowship, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, & the X-Men.

At some point I'll have to face my sunk cost fallacy head on and admit Firefox is what it is, isn't getting better, and it's time to move all my bookmarks over to Chrome. Today is not that day, but it comes soon.

Spending the weekend with a lot of smart people in New Orleans. My own meager contribution: Trump uses rhetoric and policy to operate like Negan, with public punishment of the unfaithful to warn others to stay in line. #NCA2024
