Reformed Digital Utopian. Bought the late 80's and 90's tech hype. Sorely regretting that purchase. A better internet is possible but we need better people making it. Not big on fascists or tech bros but that may be redundant.

One of my closest friends gave me a copy of Wonderbook. It’s on my desk right now. And yeah, one of the prerequisites for doing undone things is being a little (or a lot) different. Or, per the patron saint of different, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”. This is our time to shine.

Goodnight from Terry Anderson, wondering why there’s a freezing fog inside the cab of his truck, but none on the Northmoor Road. Goodnight from the bingo on Blaxwich Pier, where tonight’s caller has unknowingly invoked the gematria of several minor demons. Goodnight from Hookland.

Yeats’ amazing poem conveys a sense that there are vast, hidden forces at play in the world. It so suits this current chaotic moment. “What rough beast… slouches towards Doonbeg to play golf”

What’s so upsetting to evangelicals about Kristin Du Mez?
Unfortunately, not everyone in evangelicalism receives Du Mez’s scholarship with such openness, says Rick Pidcock.

Look, I am a huge proponent of creating art in an emotionally safe, constructive and low anxiety space. Then I listen to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac and think "Okay, maybe there should be a Hunger Games scenario where 1 in 100 musicians has to do an album with their ex and someone who ghosted them".

My three-year-old was watching CNN when he turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why is the nice orange man firing the nice wine lady?” And when I told him “Because she became too woke to protect the reflecting pools,” he started crying.

"Nothing Moves the Needle." For me, this is one of the most successful attempts to explain what's happened to the fourth estate as Trump and his movement try to wreck it. The essay is long, but worth it for the way writer Craig Unger @craigunger.bsky.social redescribes the crisis in journalism.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization
