Frame.work is one of the best ways we can push for a #rightToRepair world. I love Apple products and their seamless integration. I respect Windows/android/else for their ability to customize. Give me Linux on framework and both of those can take a back seat

The Our Last Night show opened with Country Roads (original audio) and closed with Photograph (yes nickelback, yes original audio) as they left. Not sure if it was their choice or not. But dang. What a way to end their touring life

Daily #stoic made me question a lot today. It asked what if I stopped worrying about the future and enjoyed the present. My response was that it's hard to enjoy the present. There are things to be genuinely worried about right now. But also, I should not worry about those things getting worse.

I would give up my car for the good of everyone if it helped. I love driving. I love manual transmission cars. I love a loud engine. Yet, I understand sacrifice for the greater good. And people still grill me on it. When do we start focusing on solutions instead of infighting? #urbanism #politics

I’m all for intolerance of the intolerant. I have done my best to wrap my brain around the paradox. With that said, I believe we need to be tolerant of those who are working their way out of intolerance, something I personally don’t see a lot.
