My current working theory is that all the Gods of Death are in an argument about which oneโs job it is to take him because he is so odious that they donโt want to spend one second with his spirit.

"All You F**ists Bound To Lose" (bluesky native upload)
I rage-recorded this Cover of Woody Guthries Song last night in a series of wobbly one-takes into Garage Band.

What if this wave of AI tools enables us to regain control over our data and replicate the majority of SaaS services we pay for today. We've already solved the distribution problem and the open source community has the ability democratize the tech stack.
That would be one hell of a power shift.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Wisst ihr noch? Der historische Fehler, unsere Gasspeicher an Russland zu verkaufen?
Ja?
Gut.
Deswegen verkaufen wir jetzt militรคrische Tanklager und Kerosin-Pipelines an ein US-Unternehmen.
I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

The most chilling parallel is this: In the novel, Americans inside the firewall still believe theyโre the protagonists of the global story, when theyโve actually become the cautionary tale.
Nylundโs โSignal to Noise,โ written in 1998, imagined a 2070 America that had become so dysfunctional, so dominated by corporate interests, so reckless with dangerous technologies, that the international community had to quarantine it.
Well, the timing was a bit off โฆ ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Exhausted with the constant news cycle?
I want you to know: that's their goal.
They want you checked out. They want you burnt out. I get it. I feel it.
Take a break, but don't give up. When you give up, they win.
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill
The grief the grief the grief.
And the rage and love.
We have it in us to be so much better than this.

Hymn for Every Version of You This New Year Be more present for the universes inside you. Make more pilgrimages to the interiors of your own heart. Clear away the smoke, the wreckage that tries to convince you that you do not deserve joy. Tell your friends you love them more often. Tell good people they are needed; include yourself in that list. When love comes knocking, do not doubt it. Instead open the door with warmth and let it in. When grief claws at your window, don't ignore it. Instead, hold it close and let it stay as long as it needs. Do not let the lamp of hope dim in the chaos that descends. May peace know you by name. May you be greeted by birdsong often. May hope curl up like a well loved old dog at the end of your bed every night. And when the ruins of your past call your name, remember the monument of courage you built in their place. - Nikita Gill

Iโm going to need everyone on social media to be smarter with how they use it in 2026 because there is such a thing as shutting the fuck up because there are Feds on every app.
A broken button with an helpful sign, a metaphor for my mood.
In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.
This is my Equivalent for today.
