Do not give up your brain
It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

Will never not be jarring to see armed goons demanding people’s papers on the street in the United States of America like it’s Nazi Germany. Fuckin nightmare scenes.
This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

One of the best reasons to use a static site like @11ty.dev is cost:
#WordPress and other monolithic CMSes require an always-on server, database, and always-changing software to run it.
ZeroPoint (which uses 11ty) only uses a server when you publish a change, and it uses GitHub Actions for free.

My wife and I watched Joyeux Noel on Netflix today. It's the story of the Christmas truce between French, Scottish, and German soldiers. It was very well done and heartbreaking. Tomorrow, we'll watch something lighter.

The gun industry didn’t just sell guns, it also flooded the market with at least 717 *million* large-capacity magazines, making mass shootings deadlier. It’s time for bold federal action, enough with the excuses.
