I use ~3 voter guides when I fill out my ballot every year but I think Budd's is maybe the most exhaustively put together. Worth reading even when I vote the other way.

40.3% of owner-occupied homes in the country were mortgage-free in 2024, marking a record high and a modest uptick from 39.8% the year prior.

I enjoy writing my impressions about movies, even if nobody reads them. gives me a chance to practice, non-performatively, and just riff a bit to see if I can land somewhere I find interesting.

in 50 years, trump admin "deals" will make a great case study how blowing things up and starting from scratch often result in the nearly identical systems given the extreme environmental constraints

dems had little to win from voting 'yes' and would get dragged/primaried for condoning trump's $2B crypto empire. I'm not surprised it went this way, not even disappointed. Just buckling up for the next 4-8 years of (additional) chaos.

Zach @zherring.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

imo probs. dems learned a painful lesson in 2024 w/ Fair Shake and seemed open to compromise, but Trump grift is the only thing normies know about crypto anymore. crypto industry did what it always does, which is embrace grift in the pursuit of financial profit, (re)conflagerated its reputation

...xfer anything. So there was this mismatch between transaction activity feed (displaying events) and balances (displaying balanceOf) which I was not expecting! I assumed emit was connected with some kind of verifiable state change, didn't realize it was such a free-for-all

Zach @zherring.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I accidentally misused "events" in the OP TLDR: wallet displayed a transfer of 2,000,000 clearly-spam tokens in an activity feed. I checked the tokens in my wallet, the 2M tokens were not there. Come to find out the contract emitted "2M tokens transfered to zach" but, uh, did not, in fact,

TIL smart contracts can emit events that never actually occurred.
