I like music, photos, kayaking, disc golf, analysis of dirty data, social justice, other kinds of justice, kindness, and publicly-owned public goods.

I am one of those rare creatures who never used Napster. I didn't like stealing from artists, and I preferred physical media. And it was too slow to download movies, which is what I really wanted.

Well, I'm fed up with shows I can't get in my country, and constantly subscribing and unsubscribing when I've watched what I want.

These are greedy behemoths, not struggling artists.

My question is: how do I download safely and easily? What's your system?

In October, US private employers laid off 153,074; the most in a single month since the dot.com crash!

The number is a 175% increase from 2024.

China has only purchased 18.8% of the US soybean crop that Trump promised China would buy by January 1, 2026

The 12 million metric ton (mmt) goal is very unlikely to be reached.

American farmers are souring on the once hyped Chinese trade talk.

I’m thinking of a family friend who made several fortunes. Including as the first investor in Bob’s Big Boy. At his funeral, there were endless stories of all the ways he had helped people. Almost no one who knew him knew any of it because he’d never announced it. Paying entire college tuitions, forgiving loans, providing start-up funds, and on and on.

In his Bible, he had underlined every single verse about helping the poor. That’s it. This man was a Christian—an actual follower of Christ.

ME: If I'm honest, I've lived a pretty long life for someone who still gets mad at socks when they go on wrong.

Liberals: You have to realize that external circumstances strongly influence our behavior and so do the cognitive biases baked into us by our cultures. You can't just say everyone's behavior is determined by their personal internal thoughts and--

Also Liberals: That thing you said that one time indicates 100% that you are a bigot and should be shunned. No true liberal will ever talk to you again.
