Random -- I've been doing so cleaning out of old things. Apparently I attended the very first Coachella

The thought running through my head after watching this video is: "Someone is going to shift slightly while sleeping and suddenly find their PJs folded while wearing them. And that's not going to be fun.".

The Tea situation is getting worse. What's the lesson? Quality developers actually matter and we actually will save you from embarrassing, career-ending, disasters.

This announcement is gigantic for crypto. The easier it becomes to use crypto, the more people will actually start using it. I know I'm happy to accept payments in crypto:

I've started writing again. Just getting warmed up, but here's today's post (about Tea):

There's a quote I often think about: "Summer does not follow Spring. First there is Summer and then there is Spring.". First there is the effort, and then the results of that effort slowly change winter, through spring, to the desired results. I think about that a lot.

I'm not much for inspirational memes . but this one just hits different.

I'm seeing a few posts on Obama's Presidential Library. Doesn't it seem ridiculously narcissistic that we build libraries for every President? How about we save their documents on a drive in a vault and give them a picture on a wall in the Smithsonian? That's all they need.

Cleaning. Some small trinkets from my adventures. Ten items, ten countries. Any guesses where any of the items come from? . If you can get all 10 on the first try, I'll give you $10.

I've been trying to spend time here on X for a few reasons . and it's astounding how often you'll see the exact same thing posted by 20-30 accounts throughout a period of 1-2 days. Often even word-for-word. There's got to be a way for the algo to find and flag these accounts.

What advice would you give to someone legitimately 'starting over' at 48?.

It's never going to happen and I'll never ask for it from them . but I literally just did the figuring and if all the people who I've lent money to on the promise that they'd pay me back actually paid me back, I could live for at least 2 years without working or reducing QoL.

RT @GlobalAffairs: In a victory for transparency and free speech, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled in X’s favor to l….

Just read a long post and this small bit jumped out to me:. "A free society doesn’t ask the individual to live for the group. It protects the individual from the group.". I don't know the poster and haven't seen them in my feed before, but the post was from @RockChartrand.

Posting on social media seems to be a game of "find the viral thing to say and say it in the way that most people will like". Do people really have no problem compromising themselves like that?. Whatever happened to messy authenticity? Authenticity is so much more beautiful.

The fact that Ukrainians are protesting against their own government today after the Verkhovna Rada effectively removed the independence of Urkaine's anti-corruption agencies shows that Ukraine is in good hands (its people). Even in war, they hold their gov't to a high standard.

Why am I seeing so much pro-China propaganda recently? Is it because of of their YouTube channels got shut down, so they've had to come here?.

Ozzy is gone.

Hit 500 followers 3 days ago. Not 500 verified, but 500. Felt awesome. Kept posting . now I'm at 496 🙃.

A lot of talk about UBI recently. Probably spurred by the fear of the increasing pace of automation. I have mixed feelings about UBI, but I do know that as we make the rough transition from an economy of scarcity to an economy of plenty, we need creative ideas. -->. From an.
