Happy thanksgiving, my fellow Americans. I’m grateful for freedom and life today. What are you grateful for? If you’re not American you can give thanks too but up to you.

Neither raising taxes nor lowering marginal tax rates significantly changes the actual amount of money collected by the federal government and everyone on both sides claiming the problem is the tax rate is crazy.

A decentralized network provides different affordances from a centralized one. Trying to build a decentralized copy of a feed-based service always winds up the same: a hidden centralized layer coordinating the outcome.

“I knew it was a bad idea and doomed all along” is just such an ugly, blinkered, self-congratulatory thing to say. It is always obvious a failure was doomed in retrospect. Yet when you attempt to call out future failures with such confidence…you leave receipts of the many times you’re wrong.

By the time you’re asking “what is this TPOT thing ppl are talking about” it’s too late. The call is coming from inside the house. You are a TPOT node.

you're in a park, having a picnic a tourist approaches, asks "where am I?" you respond "the park" the tourist asks "what's the park's ideology?" you respond "it doesn't have one" they point at a group and say "bad people are here" you respond "and? it's a public park, we're having a picnic"

Tweets. We should just call them Tweets. Gimme a QT and a like on this Tweet to help destroy the Tweet trademark and claim it for our people.

💯 Even better if we do it consistently we will genercide the Twitter trademark and all Tweets will just be Tweets forever, like Xerox or Kleenex.

Hey @pfrazee.com — idea for a bsky feature I always wanted on Twitter. In-line “search for a post to quote-post” when editing a new post, sort of like “search for an animated gif” or “add a photo attachment”.

I missed the trend where we posted ourselves as villains. But this is definitely me as a villain, with one of my best friends from highschool who is clearly the hero.

Yay 100 followers on Bluesky! They feel real, Twitter was too leveraged on my IRL identity and felt like cheating. Maybe I should have invested in an alt.

bluesky feels a lot like early twitter…everyone has small followings, the app is simpler and kinda jank, and the service goes down all the time. nostalgia.

Have you ever thought about how, to a horse, the world is basically Candyland? Like they're wandering down a trail and boom, there's just some thistles. And then to the left, a delicious tree. There's just food all over the ground everywhere. Horses seem pretty excited about it.

I used to struggle w needing to be “creative” or “original” in my work. At some point I had a breakthrough that really helped me: I cannot repeat an idea, no matter how basic or common, without imparting some of my worldview into it.

Type 1 fun: fun while you’re having it (eg. video games) Type 2 fun: painful in the moment, fun in retrospect (eg. backpacking) Type 3 fun: painful in the moment, painful in retrospect, fun to tell the story about (eg. when I almost died of appendicitis in college)

Words don’t have exact definitions. They are gestures, pointing at nebulous regions of concept-space. The fact that someone cannot precisely define a term they are using is not an criticsism, because no term can ever be precisely defined.
