Just sent off my freedom of information request to get all the private data about myself that #DOGE has accessed. You can do it too, thanks to some quick #activism by Maryland representative Jamie Raskin.

"We ask but for peace, liberty, and safety." Amen, stamp.

@mattly cool blog post! Also, your website is just perfect. (Not sure if it's new or if only the domain is new, but it's new to me anyway!)

@killyourfm okay, fair enough. I'm just an excited new Steam Deck owner! :D

@killyourfm I mean, SteamOS

I do quotes on index cards sometimes. Here's one from Stephen King that seems like especially good advice right now.

Don't bother trying to read the card. It's my "for me only" handwriting. But I liked the surprise appearance by Peanut.

"John Grisham, of course, knows lawyers. What you know makes you unique in some other way. Be brave, map the enemy's position, come back, tell us all you know."

Map the enemy's position. I like it.

Also, Stephen King is a good egg.

Hey fellow Americans! Please show up for your state's 50501 protest on Wednesday at your state capitol building.

50 states, 50 protests, 1 day.

I know it's a work day for most, but it's happening from 12-7pm. If it's possible, show up and let your voice be heard.

Bonus points: print some copies of the poster for your state and put them up them around your town!

https://50501.info/

Please boost. We desperately need some anti-fash energy.

Dear Everybody,

PLEASE for the love of god stop posting your events only on Facebook.

Thanks,
Me

holy living fuck, it is amazing to be running #debian instead of #windows again after all these years. i feel like i'm alone with my computer instead of, like, being in the room with a bunch of adtech execs.

@Alice that dude really should have been made as a gif with infinite regression. Lost opportunity.

@mattly because I needed to want the Starlab more than I already do. That sounds super cool!

@killyourfm I know people hate on #AI here, and I totally understand why, but I'm here to tell you that shit is doing my proverbial dishes and laundry everyday and I love it. It has saved me about 10 to 15 hours a week recently. And yeah, of course I only use it to do stuff I hate doing.

Seriously, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool cynic and political curmudgeon, and this badass speech along with the crowd reaction has me in TEARS, swelling with pride. WOW.

@mattly right? And as a 1981 baby, I'm so traumatized by the political environment I've lived in my whole life that I actually feel *guilty* for feeling so good about it.

It's so unfamiliar!

This Massachusetts crowd is on FIRE for #KamalaHarris, and so am I.

The idea that it can take "up to five business days" for my unsubscribe request to be processed is utter and complete nonsense.

And if one more fucking company tells me to "be patient" while they're performing the classic Lucy-holding-the-football move, I'll just...

Well...I'll just...

Sigh. I'll just be kinda mad and post about it here.

@mattly it's in the big tower when you're going to Midtown to find Clementine. If you ride a bucket to the ground you find these awesome treasure hunters

I love it when great games quote other great games. Just came across this gem in #Stray.

I don't wanna sound all gaga for #bitwig but it just did a series of things that make me gaga:

1. It allowed me to bounce a MIDI clip in place as audio. Wow.
2. It accounted for the fact that the clip has a tail, and set up the new loop appropriately (recorded 2x, set the loop point at the beginning of the second time, see screenshot). WOWOWOWOW

Okay, I know this is severe inside baseball, but it's so good to see software that is so sensitively designed. (Ahem, #WTFAbleton)
