Honestly, between the fascism, climate records breaking monthly, and AI I'd say we've arrived at the singularity.
Since the pandemic I've been feeling it's pointless, but every day I'm more and more certain it's not worth investing anything "for the future" any more.

Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff -- in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.

Having the roof of our Family Room/Office replaced today. It’s a ~55yo addition with a flat roof that we did not have re-roofed when we had the rest of the house done a dozen years ago.

It’s very distracting to have all this noise above my head.
“I know faithful people, including faithful preachers, who persist in hope for the future, against all odds, grounded in their hope in God’s steadfastness. That hope emboldens them both to hear and preach the truth of God’s compassion and of God’s justice, and to act accordingly. Their hope emboldens me.”

"This is how Lotus was born: as a company featuring unprecedented benefits for their employees, fostering a culture of radical diversity and inclusion, cleverly mixing dashes of 1960s counterculture with the latest 1980s technology.
Two major names stand out in the creation of this culture: first, Janet Axelrod, who passed away in 2021, and who brought her experience at Digital Equipment Corporation in the areas of diversity and inclusion. Second, Freada Kapor Klein."
