Failing minimalist, struggling to get rid of stuff.

I commute to work daily by bike (yes, even in the winter). I don't ride to go fast. I ride to live slowly.

My other self-propelled hobbies include hiking, backpacking and canoeing, which I like to mix with radio.

Does anyone know what's going on with mastodon instance hams.social? Can't connect. It has disappeared and mastodon directories don't list it, like it never existed.
A dangerous game Elon plays denigrating George Soros, when one of you owns a spacecraft manufacturer and the other controls a space laser.
This is the message. Shout it from the rooftops and beat the GOP to death with it.

People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer.

Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work.

Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.

Trump was forced to cancel his outdoor rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday, due to tornado warnings. In other words, a tornado cancelled a shit storm.

Well done, God.

Trump deserves nothing but prison time, not airtime, @CNN

I've been thinking of late about the imminent threats of fascism and totalitarianism, and this quotation by @charliejane pretty much sums it up:

β€œA society that has to burn witches to hold itself together is a society that has already failed, and just doesn't know it yet.”
― Charlie Jane Anders, All the Birds in the Sky

Second commute of the year, after a four-month, lazy-ass hiatus, and I got a flat 😠. It's been so long since I had a flat, it took longer to fix than it should have. Grateful that my toolkit had everything I needed.

Trump's only goal is to get platformed.

CNN's only goal is clicks and views.

Both worked because watching Trump is a sport for both sides.

One side is outraged at the lies, the other is joyful at the outrage.

The only way to win is to ignore.
