Damn BlueSky has no edit function. Don’t want to delete it but probably should if it’s misleading.

I realized that I was standing for 5 hours straight hours, after midnight alone on a hill marveling at celestials bodies, until coyotes finally scared me back into the car. I am sore today & didn’t get the pictures I thought I was capturing. Learning something new is a bloody uphill task with age.😂😅

Sorry you faced that bunch.
For Direct File you have Intuit to blame too, they’ve lobbied against it for very long. I thought the IRS confirmed that Direct File will continue for the 2026 tax season…probably won’t expand to include complex and business tax returns per the original plan, I guess?

Yes, to my point…resilience is not invincibility. And yes, gold’s rise is the bill coming due for eroding confidence and fucked up fundamentals.

Yep and it’s not even close. Every citizen has a single secure digital ID that works for everything…voting, banking, taxes, healthcare. 99% of services are online, and they use blockchain for records. I read they can file taxes in minutes. I just took four hours for mine.

Yet the dollar remains strong because the rest of the world trusts it more than alternatives. Although historically the dollar’s “safe haven” has been resilient through wars, & other crises, resilience is not invincible & this administration might just prove that to us, along with all round damage.

I get the frustration, but it’s easier said than done. Salesforce runs core systems for thousands of companies…customer data, sales, operations. Unfortunately, boycotting it isn’t as simple as walking away from a product.

Tone deaf & cowardly of Benioff. No denying that SF faces serious challenges with public drug use & the state of the streets. But worth remembering, that these corporations have built their wealth off this very region & collectively have the power & resources to address homelessness, addiction etc

Would be a good time to shut down Dreamforce. If I have friends who are still speaking there, this is a good reason to cancel.

Moon tonight. Taken with the iPhone while driving (safely 😅). Clouds earlier in the evening had their own thing going. I also saw the Seven Sisters constellation (Pleiades star cluster)…check iPhone video below. The astrophotography camera seemed confused but I still got a pic or two.

Every sane economic read: chaos, uncertainty, detriment.

Markets (eyes firmly fixed on tech’s incestuous inbreeding): no way but up.
