This may have been my most influential #writing year.

I published 20 articles on the #epistemology of writing —examining how the #Socratic, #Narrative, and #Thermodynamic dimensions of thought shape craft & sharpen thinking.

I did most of that work on #Facebook. They removed me from the platform.

ARCHIVE FROM THE FUTURE: 2048
January 20, 2026

Curated during a period when #ICE was permitted to racially profile citizens by #SCOTUS in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

ICE cracked down after Renee Good was fatally shot on January 7, 2026.

This footage was recovered from a BlueSky federated archive.
Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.
Neighborhood watch is taking on a new form in Minneapolis and other cities under occupation by federal immigration agents: ICE Watch.

These folks, who're tailing federal agents as they make arrests, are passionate, determined, and just about everywhere—and ICE is getting frustrated.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

NATO told him to get fucked on Greenland. Now he’s going to try to sell putting the Golden Dome (which we were already going to do) in Greenland as a win.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment

"The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

We're being put through this because a good portion of the country were so angry a Black man was elected president, gays could marry, and trans people existed that they decided to elect the worst possible person to destroy the country. The rest were rubes fooled by mis and disinformation.

Alejandra, deep in my heart, I agree.

The analysis of our current straits, all I see is white grievance being weaponized and cruelties will continue until peak atrocity is achieved.

100,000 people a year die from COVID. They don't give a damn.

They won't stop themselves. Millions will die.
Trump won't be impeached and he won't be removed from office. We're all going to be forced to watch in horror as he completely destroys America's standing in the world, its economy, and the stability of the world order.

There's nobody that's going to step in to stop this. No one can.

British people apologize to me everywhere I go and I expect that to continue until reparations are paid for the enslavement of my ancestors.
I don't think the Americans, and yes, I mean all of you, are prepared for how hated you now are by everyone.

Its not going away folks. Youve lost all rights to speak to us without being told to go fuck yourselves.
Lutnick heckled in Davos. FT: “The gathering on Tuesday night descended into uproar after combative remarks from Lutnick, the people said, with widespread jeering, some guests walking out and appeals for calm from Fink.”
