Lemme try! Bitcoin sucks!
Oh no I am finding out that if on here you mention a certain kind of currency that is made of bits then it draws out people (or bots who knows) who are enthusiasts and will get mad at you for not being enthusiastic. I just kinda assumed that would be a Twitter exclusive thing idk.

Yes. For every post you put in front of me, you better have a record of me explicitly opting in to seeing posts from that person if you don’t want to accept liability for it as a publisher. Changing the law to reflect this has gotta be a day one priority in the event we get through this intact.
I still cannot believe that Meta, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, et al. get away with this.

"Here is content from users you don't follow presented to you in the order that we want you to see it. But we're not a publisher. We're just a widdle platform. You can't hold us accountable"

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Wrote this in Saratoga, WY where Shawn Hess and I did our wildly popular (😆) Quiet Earp bit. That's where the title comes from. Here it is in October from the Fingerstyle Show in Laramie. The performance is sloppier than I'd like, but the vibe is there.

I don't think Western AF is on the Skies yet

But the Duck Rabbits are stoked to provide support for some Top-Notch artists in Laramie next month.

If this track ain't the top notch human condition song, then @petemandik.bsky.social and @grundlegung.bsky.social can tell me different.

Until then, no one is boogerproof

Started a YouTube channel for me and my friends and stuff. Check it out below. More vids to come. @petemandik.bsky.social should be on the look out for a Meat Font vid in 2025!

Not one 'all lives matter' post or similar such sentiment that I've seen. CEO of Insurance really is the same as Duke of Earl or whatnot. The Nobility.

As a grad student, I had surgery. My student insurance denied my claim for asinine reasons. Seems like it was UHC that was the provider.

It's Giving Tuesday...if you have any $$ left after Black Friday, Shop Small Saturday, Artist Sunday, and Cyber Monday, Charity Orgs also exist, and donations help hugely with operating costs.

The Laramie Soup Kitchen is a good one! Serves Hot Meals to the community and employs local musicians!

Is there an independent music aspect to this site? Not only am I a mediocre amateur (independent scholar) philosopher, but I'm also a mediocre amateur (independent) musician. Lemme bask in your reflected glory, competent touring musicians!

It is the holiday season and I typically get myself a book or two. Any recommendations on cool philosophy or must-have fiction? This year I'm a bit stumped. @petemandik.bsky.social @grundlegung.bsky.social
