I just keep writing pithy little posts and deleting them and then writing new little jokes and deleting them and then just staring into the middle distance for a while and then trying again

As a parent of a Gen Z kid, I can tell you that their whole entire lives they’ve seen the government put them last. Guns, covid, student loans, cost-of-living, it’s always their gen that has gotten fucked.

This TikTok ban vividly reinforces what they already know.

The best time to start building a little spot for yourself on the internet independent of platforms was yesterday. The second best time is right fucking now.

@quinn I wear a Garmin and it is shit for accurate sleep tracking

@amanda @quinn no this doesn't sound right

@quinn great job!

RIP David Lynch. King of the weirdos.

Here we are, once again, welcoming you to Insomnia Club. It’s the worst club, but we’re in it together.

Sometimes I lie awake and think about these headlines and sometimes I just lie awake.

so like Trump 100% wants Greenland because the mercator map projection makes it look enormous right?

Hope the LA Times is being sure to print the fire’s point of view too.

Who’s building a Stories-like product on AT proto or the Fediverse?

The first small step in making a better internet for each other is starting to establish a presence there that isn’t owned by a platform. Separate your self from Meta and Twitter and Substack and own your presence. Is it as easy? No, but it’s worth it.

Ah yes, the familiar chime of 3:00 AM can only mean one thing: welcome to Insomnia Club!

So where’s Matt Gaetz' large adult “son” Nestor in all this?

The death penalty is barbaric and this is an inarguably good thing. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/us/politics/biden-commutes-37-death-sentences.html

Back in 2019, WNYC and Propublica did an excellent Trump Inc. episode about how wildly corrupt it all was. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/trumpinc/episodes/trump-inc-podcast-whered-trumps-record-inauguration-spending-go-its-inexplicable

Watching Peter Theil’s sputtering condemnation or reading the new United Healthcare CEO’s op-ed, it’s ASTOUNDING to me that even they are starting with “look, we know the system is bad and needs fixing.” This feels like a real, actual shift of the overton window on this. It took an assassination.

Now that Facebook, Amazon, OpenAI, and others have donated a million each to the Trump inauguration committee, let’s remember that the last Trump inauguration was a essentially a criminal enterprise with something like 10 different corruption investigations.
