Since age 9 I have repeatedly pledged my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.
Hard to spend a lifetime saying these words without absorbing them at least a little I hope.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Because I’ve seen what HOA meetings do to a man. The lawns are too green, the souls too soft. I speak like this because the spirit of war died in a cul-de-sac, and I was there to bury it—alone, beneath the flicker of a Ring doorbell camera.

i like
big
trunks and i cannot lie
you other travelers can't deny
that when a shattered visage lies in the sand
with a sneer of cold command
you get sprung
from the passions read
from a hand mocked and heart fed
that pedestal tried to warn me
but "look upon my works" makes (me-me-me so horny)

Some traveller once told me
He's from a land so old he
Saw a pair of vast and trunkless legs
Near them on the sand
An expression of command
The sneering visage on a half-sunk head
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Lone level sands to horizon running

my name is Oz
and wen the stone
is broke to bits

I think a lot about how Halloween has been fucked up for the last 5 years. At the beginning of the pandemic we put runners on our porch so we could stay well more than six feet away and still give out candy. Now we have to patrol our neighborhood for stormtroopers looking to kidnap people.
Loads of families are currently trick or treating from business to business and parking lot to parking lot along 26th Street in Little Village. There’s also loads of rapid responders with vests and whistles patrolling making sure families can enjoy the holiday in peace.

As with everything, the technology is not the thing. OpenAI is a financial instrument more than it is a tech company.

Forgive me, Ozymandias
They were temporary
So fragile

Now Ozymandias was from the Himalayas, where a cold wind howls and blows.
Why he left his home in the peaks to roam 'round the sands, God only knows.
His statue fell down, the desert's boundless and completely bare;
Though it's still scrawled on his pedestal that "ye Mighty should despair!"
