Dad of 2. Platform eng manager. NYC & subway apologist. Amateur long distance runner. Hardcore punk at heart.
Ran 2000 miles this year.
The number 2000 always reminds me of Conan O'Brien's late night bit. Especially the one with Mr T.
"Fools will come to my house to ask me to stop pityin' them. But it will be rainin' and I won't be home so I will continue to pity them."

This warms my heart. Zines were central to DIY culture during my youth. I took every opportunity to contribute to one.
"There’s a freedom people are craving because they’re feeling so constrained, surveilled and, frankly, threatened in so many other spheres."
Zines have made a resurgence as communities seek to share information on everything from ICE raids to local elections.

Media companies want there to be two sides. There's enough people on each side that private companies can thrive independently without the other. It is a waste of time to try to capture a wide general audience. Just reinforce the divide as the cost of making content gets cheaper to maximize profit.
