If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

"The strategic ambiguity about whether or not we live in an autocracy is designed to preserve maximum maneuverability for the regime until such time as they have full control and no longer need to maneuver."

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Found this Killdeer in the fading light yesterday. Takes a lot of patience to capture these quick movers with a nice background! #PortTownsend #PNW #Birds

A brown and white killdeer bird on wavy lines in the sand.

A surreal afternoon last September along the Salmon River upstream from Riggins, ID. A touch of wildfire smoke accelerates the layering of the distant hills. #BlueSkyArtShow #Reflections #ID

This old oak door in Port Townsend has seen it all. Deep carved wood and dark brass, standing through time like the old men made it. Bezos talks of one-way & two-way doors, but this one just watches the trade wars and politicians come and go. A damn good door that doesn't care either way.

Spotted this Western Meadowlark while wandering around Fort Worden in Port Townsend today. #PNW #WA #birds #photography

Western Meadowlark sitting on top of a green bush. The bird has a yellow chest and neck with a black V. There is a white bar along the side of its head at eye level.

Spot on. Minimal switching cost. Going to be very interesting next few months in this space.

Building a van over the winter. Rough plan is to head to Alaska and then chase the fall south through Canadian Rockies, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

I’ve given a lot of thought to self-hosting to move away from AWS for personal projects as well as Gmail and Google Drive replacements. If projects like NextCloud get momentum it can make a difference!

Stopped by the new-ish Queensbury Rivian chargers. Great location with easy on/off I-87 with a Home2Suites next door. Pull through spot for trailers! 2 chargers out of service but plenty of open spots. #Rivian #RAN #EV

Curious to hear how tech-savvy folks have weened themselves off Google, Microsoft, etc. Any recommended open source solutions for self-hosting email and file storage?
