Getting more and more burned out and tired of school. I'm way too far in to give up now, but man sometimes I just really hate spending so much of my free time on this.

The seeds of the January 6, 2021, insurrection can be traced back to the early 1900s,
when industrialists concerned with the erosion of their wealth and power
attempted to control the currency and restrict government spending.
Later these forces, in alignment with America Firsters,
aggrieved veterans,
and antisemitic splinter groups that mirrored various features of European fascism,
including white supremacists,
rallied to oppose Roosevelt and the …

Right, gather round everyone - I've sussed out Trump's big scam. Its simple really: he owns stock in all the big booze corps. He just puts out lunacy day after day, then as we all take up morning drinking, rakes in the profits! I mean, think about it! It's the only explanation that explains why he deals with the world the way a bored, gently psychotic 8 year old who knows where daddy keeps a can of petrol in the garage.

Horrible thought: we might end up with President Rahm Emmanuel *BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT*
Seriously, I’ve heard him recently being quite bluntly correct about multiple issues in a very appealing way such that if I didn’t know he was RAHM FUCKING EMMANUEL I might vote for him.
I won’t, unless he’s the D nominee. If the party is that stupid, I won’t compound it by pouting.
Some people distrust what they do not grasp.
Three possible solutions are:
- ask multiple independent experts
- gain an understanding yourself
- get comfortable trusting anyway
The caveat is that #expertise and #knowledge is extremely hard to verify.
Trump & MAGA are fundamentally broken. They prioritize greed, ego & wrath over decency, morality & humanity.
That's why everything they do feels so wrong.

Lockdown Mode is a backstop for people who either do dangerous things or are specifically targeted by high-resource threat actors. Almost no one can *actually* benefit from it but people who need it really need it.
I don’t need it. However, I have it enabled in part to understand what it does to the UX. It interferes with a minority of sites. It forces me to think about whether I REALLY trust the site I’m interacting with & how valuable my interaction really is.

Some people track conferences they want to attend in calendars.
What if you could also explore a map to find interesting events nearby?

The link could point to a calendar entry in turn.

Listening to a business owner (construction) talk to David Brancaccio on Marketplace Morning Report. About ICE.
He is diligent about hiring legally, so all of his people are in principle safe, but in practice there’s enough harassment of his Latinx workers by ICE that they have been quitting rather than risk detention.

The scariest thing for me about “AI” is how scared Geoffrey Hinton is. I do not believe that he’s a fool or a charlatan, unlike so many other “experts.” I think he’s wrong, but that’s an absolutely uninformed opinion. His is a very informed opinion.
Then I remember how whacky Linus Pauling got.
But still, it is intermittently unsettling.

Thanks a lot, tech bros, we don't want it (noone does).
I hate when the Prevacid wears off without warning.
I get surprise reflux that makes my lungs & eustachian tubes burn. I cough & cough & cough. SWMBO comes running because she thinks I’m dying. I wish I was dying. I find my British* Gaviscon, chew a few tabs with a mouthful of water and gargle at length to try to splash something with a pH >7 on all the burning parts. Ultimately it takes ~10 minutes for my lungs to rev up the phlegm production enough to feel normal.

A recurring issue:
Source of Truth vs Point of Truth with many-system setups.
Imagine having separate
- issue tracking (e.g. JIRA)
- time tracking (e.g. Toggl)
- development tracking (e.g. GitLab)
- daily team sync (e.g. Confluence)
- weekly sync with stakeholders (...)
Without diligent manual labor or a lot of handcrafted automation, those keep getting out of sync.
