-Imagine your kid died from suicide because he missed a $20 insurance premium and lost a month’s coverage for his meds.
-Imagine an employer who has to hire 2 people/6 weeks/year just to negotiate health plans for his employees.

2025 vibes- this banger
I saw this insane reddit post about this bridge that will probably kill people in Pittsburgh.
People have been complaining for over a decade and it doesn't sound like there's any orchestrated movement to fix it.
It made me want to workshop a website that could drive collective action to fix it.

This week I accidentally coded a website to ID lead pipes in an hour without having Python or an IDE installed on my laptop.
And then just tonight, I again vibe-coded a "Tail-Risk Convexity Screener" in an hour without any expertise and still without Python or an IDE.

Kawaiicon brilliantly merges cybersecurity's transparency with public health after installing a real-time, DIY CO2 monitoring "antivirus" system. Hacker conference utilizes technical skills to provide the needed data for making informed personal risk assessments, effectively closing major info gap.

Fun fact about the Tao te Ching- it came from political collapse, the breakdown of the Zhou dynasty, 400 BCE!
There was famine, violence, elite infighting, loss of trust, and collapsing institutions.
So it's about why societies break and how to govern without adding more chaos. 📖

Solidarity is the most powerful tool we have in the face of authoritarianism.
It's on all of us to stand with each other, stand up for each other, and refuse to accept the fear and division the White House is trying to exploit and use against us.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
