We live in an age where exercising personal privacy and agency is seen as The Hard Way™ the same way living off the grid is seen as a path for nutters and paranoids.

You guys, I'm pretty tired of thriving in a fast-paced environment and working well under pressure while being part of a family.

Can we change this shit up anytime soon?

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure

What I'm listening to today: "Teletext Rhythms"

This musician is writing a music production app for Nintendo 3DS homebrew, splitting the difference between a tracker and an MPC. Here's a 20-minute live set (in the sense a DJ set is live) with Noise Commander. "EDM".

I never explained the banner pic in my profile, so I'll attempt to do that here.

It's from the Happiness Museum in Copenhagen, a tiny place that looks at a rather big question; what makes individuals and communities happy?

Alt headline; Huang still has his head so incredibly far up his own ass that he farts and calls it a cool breeze.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

May not seem like it most days, but there are still a lot of good people in this world. Some are loud and bright, some quietly working in the background, and some might be taking a break so they can be ready to help others when the time comes.

Find them. Lift them up. And join them.

A black and white photo of Fred Rogers of the famed children's show that promoted kindness, empathy and acceptance. The photo features Fred smiling, and the quote "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" If we remember this, we cannot fail.

My wife and I watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it! If you have even a passing interest in geology, vulcanology or tectonics, you will find the information in Joe's documentary accessible, beautiful and with any luck, inspiring to go take some hikes. Get to know our planet a bit more!

I've been using Kagi exclusively on mobile for about 6 months and my search results are consistently better. While on mobile,I am almost never to buy a thing, which is all Google and DDG want to push anymore. Kagi brings me information, not spoon-fed consumerism. Massive difference!

"Search advertising continues to be the largest form of internet advertising. Search revenue grew nearly 16% year on year."

$103B in search ad revenue (in U.S alone!) means results are ranked by who pays most, not what's most relevant.

This is the model Kagi Search rejects.
Stacked bar chart showing advertising revenue by format from 2020-2024. Search advertising (red) grew from $59B to $102.9B, Display (yellow) from $44B to $74.3B, Video (orange) from $26.2B to $62.1B, Audio (pink) from $3.1B to $7.6B, and Other (gray) from $7.5B to $11.7B.

Baked some bread bowls for Christmas dinner. I like Ken Forkish's Saturday White Bread for this. It's a simple straight dough recipe that is fairly easy to adjust for loaf size and results in a good structure for soupin' it up.

A photo of two white bread bowls, freshly baked from scratch, then hollowed out a bit and filled with soups. One has broccoli cheddar soup, the other a beef & veggie stew, both also home-made.
