I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.

All I can tell you is this:

You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.

And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.

And suddenly the work will be on you.

And you will do it, because that is •just what you do•, because you •know• that nobody else is coming.

And you will still have no idea what to do, even as you are already doing it.

My fellow people of the United States, if I have anything to teach from what Minneapolis just lived through, it is this:

Nobody is coming to save us.

Not Congress. Not the courts. Not the ICC or the EU or NATO. Not the generals or the rank and file. Not the press. Not the markets. Not the elections. Not some mythical version of “The People” that materializes out of nowhere as some messianic external force.

We’re it. We’re all we’ve got. If we don’t stop fascism from completely engulfing the US, then nobody stops it.

It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Hey fellow Pennsylvanians, the state has a program where you can get five free native trees or shrubs for replacing species deemed to be invasive in the state.

@ohir US conservatives were not conned. Conservatives support fascists, without exception. They did so in Nazi Germany, in Fascist Italy, in Fascist Spain, in Pinochet's Chile and every other Latin American dictatorship. They support Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, and so on and so on and so on. There is no conservatism without authoritarianism. Your magical "real conservatives" do not exist in reality, and never have.

every generation thinks they're the smartest group of people to ever live. Yet here we are, inventing apps to remind us to drink water and stand up sometimes
