Relaunching Kyloson: Powering the Future of Work
This Labor Day, as we honor the workers who built our present, we’re relaunching Kyloson to power the future — AI, Linux, security, and the backbone of tomorrow’s enterprises.
kyloson.com
After much soul-searching and contemplation, I made the decision to relaunch Kyloson, LLC with a focus on #AI and secure infrastructure. Check it out BSky fam - kyloson.com/relaunching-....
1/I remember the early 00s and Iraq 2: The Sequel when the FBI spied on craftspeople, librarians, Quakers, and any other group that couldn't be "dirtied up". It's easy to make ppl fear the Black Panthers, not so when it's 60 year olds knitting antigovernment slogans. The playbook hasn't changed.

Oooh! This looks pretty damn cool - www.jambase.com/article/litt.... And long overdue, imho! There's a story in one of the Dead books about Lowell George in the studio with the boys, walking round in overalls with a bag of coke in the hammer loop.
Ah the 80s! What a time to be alive! 😬

1/Good God. I've seen news anchors (you know where) saying that Alex Pretti was "waving a gun in their faces", praising ICE for "preventing a MASS SHOOTING"! GRRRR! The hypocrisy of these fscking ppl! Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? Brought an AR-15 TO A PROTEST, murdered 2 ppl, and was praised by Trump.

One more thing: anyone else notice how armed, jacked up thugs take their frustrations out on women? It takes a real tough guy at 250 lbs to beat up a 120 lb woman. I guess all those big muscles can never compensate for the little one between your legs, eh fellas? What a bunch of goddamn cowards.
1/I'm angry and sick about this ICE situation and I tried to avoid it, but I've got to say something. Anyone else old enough to remember the Rodney King beating, acquittal, and aftermath? That beating (where King lived) was my 1st thought, but this is way worse, not least bc the man was killed.

If you haven't heard about the ongoing roving goat and monkeys in the #STL, do yourself a favor and check it out - www.ksdk.com/article/news.... We need some humor right now. My fave? An AI Mashup of the group getting a slice at Imo's while "Country Grammar" plays in the background. 😂
Officials still searching for several monkeys loose in north St. Louis
If you have seen the monkeys, please contact Animal Care and Control by calling 314-657-1500.

My final message before I'm on an FBI watchlist: Palantir, Epstein, & The New York Times
ICE brings the hybrid warfare and terror we brought to Gaza back home. It's time to learn where it comes from, how it works, who enables it, and how to fight back.

1/I'm feeling a strong urge to get a band together and play some music again. Heck, if Libba Cotten can win her first Grammy at 92, maybe there's hope! Possible 1st song: a Mutron-washed version of ELO's "Showdown" - youtu.be/IYhqlOQ1vHY. Replace the funky keys with Jerry's "Estimated Prophet" tone.

Speaking of irreverent comedy, probably my personal favorite is the late great Tim Wilson. Fellow Deadheads, if you've never heard Acid Country, you should listen to it NOW - youtu.be/4-xOtbr2bjE. You can hear the crowd when he says "Grateful Dead", proving we really *are* everywhere 😜

You've likely never heard of them, but fans of irreverent comedy music should check out the "famous, fabulous, fearless, and flamboyant, Austin Lounge Lizards!" - open.spotify.com/album/39wW3g...

1/Good morning BSky fam! One of my favorite authors in '25 has been Matt Stoller of the "Big" newsletter (@mattstoller.skystack.xyz) and "Organized Money" podcast. He's got a great piece that everyone should read - open.substack.com/pub/mattstol... - asking whether we overthrow the oligarchs in '26.
In 2026, Will Americans Finally Turn Against Oligarchs?
Americans are noticing private equity roll-ups in everything from youth sports to fire trucks to big tech. And they really don't like it. Is a genuine anti-monopoly revolt finally brewing in 2026?

What is wrong with these ppl?? There's part (a very, very small part) of me that feels sorry for people who live so deep inside a bubble, they've never met an immigrant family or anyone of another race, a family that's struggling, or a single Mom. How else could you be so heartless to others? Idk.
TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

Much like the DEA cracking down on pill mills a decade too late (and seriously harming chronic pain patients in the process), Trump is about 3 years too late on fentanyl. The streets have moved on and OD deaths dropped by more than half, thanks to drug economics more than anything.
Trump signed an Executive Order classifying Fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
Little to no fentanyl is produced in Venezuela for your awareness.

Even tho it makes me tear up, this is always and forever the best Christmas song of all time: Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Christmas Time is Here" from Charlie Brown Christmas - youtu.be/4PzetPqepXA. No other song captures the feeling of Christmas - too complicated for a post - better.

I used the wrong word in post #3. Obviously, Trump isn't using 9/11 aa "justification", but "authorization". Congress has allowed the Pres. to use the AUMF as he pleases, thru multiple admins. This is the loophole that's long overdue for closing.
