I own way too many clicky keyboards. I love relaxing in hammock chairs and I have deeply obscure Simpsons references for every situation.

Creating a wealth tax alone doesn’t necessarily solve all our problems (it raises a decent chunk of $$$ but it’s not amazing).

The real power is if we invest those dollars in people, because then people will spend it on things and supercharge the economy in a real way.

Every dollar in a billionaire’s net worth cost the rest of us a lot more than a dollar to let them have that.

As wealth taxes gain traction, Warren proposes levy on the ultra-rich

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's bill would raise taxes on households worth more than $50 million and on billionaires.

End of an era. I did treat my 2019 Mac Pro to some wheels a couple weeks ago since they were on clearance on Woot.

I’m hoping to get Anwar a little more support here. If you’re a US citizen you’ve already spent plenty of your tax dollars giving Israel money to destroy his home country, why not kick a few extra bucks a week/month to help him take care of his family?

Also he is verified on @gazaverified so you can give with confidence.

Do you think a major feature of watchOS 27 will be that pushing the “play” button on a Workout actually starts the workout, or do you think Apple is going to hold that back for watchOS 28?

I will admit, my initial reaction to the DM Anwar sent was one of mild annoyance at the unsolicited outreach.

But he’s living in a literal war zone. He doesn’t have the luxury of worrying about Mastodon etiquette. He’s doing the exact thing that I’d be doing if I were in his situation.

Hoping we can help him out.

A humble request: if you’ve got a few $$$, send some to @anwar88.

He’s verified on @gazaverified.

He slid into my DMs and needs some help so he can keep his family fed and safe. He hasn’t been successful in getting many donations.

I can’t singlehandedly save everyone in Gaza who is suffering. But a group of us could help ease a family’s suffering.

If you don’t have money to give, boost instead!

Urgent Assistance for Anwar

Hello, I am Amir Hartt from America and I am using my mother's Chuffed account to raise funds for Anwar al-Naizi from the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Funds will be sent via SWIFT transfer from my mother's bank account to Anwar's IBAN that he holds with Bank of Palestine. Now allow Anwar to explain his situation in his own words."My name is Anwar. I am a husband and a father of two children.I lost both of my brothers in the war, and I live every day in fear of losing another member of my family.I once had a job and lived with dignity, but the war took away my livelihood. I can no longer provide even the most basic needs for my children.My wife suffers from malnutrition. She was breastfeeding during the war, and we endured severe hunger. It was not only hunger caused by lack of food — we remained in the north, moving from place to place to escape shelling and gunfire, surviving death again and again.My wife was forced to sell all her gold just to buy flour so we could stay alive.Our home was completely destroyed and is now located in a dangerous zone we cannot reach. Today, we have no tent and no shelter. We live without protection from the winter cold, insects, disease, and the many dangers surrounding my children.In this war, I lost everything.We need kind people to help us daily so we can rent a small place that will shelter us and protect our dignity.Your support can give my children the safety they have been denied and give us a chance to begin again.

Okay, I hope the MacBook Neo not coming in orange means that they're saving that for an upcoming MacBook Pro-grade machine

If you were disappointed Apple no longer sells a 32" display, check out the Kuycon G32P. I was a little worried about the brand being no-name but I've loved mine. It's made of aluminum and glass, is reasonably priced, and uses a panel from LG.

The Kuycon G32P is the Pro Display XDR We Have At Home

The Kuycon G32P in all its glory 2025 is the year display makers finally put out a bunch of 32″ 6K displays, and the best one is from a Chinese brand you probably have never heard of. I figur…
