Because I spent decades masking, I presumed it was my gayness upsetting people- but it may've been bits of my ND peeking out and/ or my inauthenticity. Regardless, it was always their hang-up behind it. Sheeple herds.

I have all sorts of issues with "just be grateful" (search my blog for more) but there definitely are moments that remind me of how blessed I am.

In a convo with a friend they said that billion dollar lottery prizes reflect how a few million$ is no longer impressive. I calculate $100k would clear our debts, the taxes, and our move back to CDA. Perspective I guess.

Opinion | Pramila Jayapal is pushing for Democrats to return to Medicare for All. Thank goodness.
It's both moral and political common sense.

They're likely not gonna go out on time, and they'll have all their friends in for a final bash that will take a decade to undo.

I've been working to reduce the presence of Amzn in my life- my spending there as well as income generation- since 2020. This year's update: deleted almost all aff links, de-listed all (except 1 title) my books, and spending limited to 1 item this year. Update: briangryphon.com/supporting-m...

The reverse(?) of the slow-boiling frogs parable: the slow-decent of expectations from 'striving for excellence' to 'goid enough' to 'whatever'
This hits on the real danger of generative AI: not that it can ever equal a truly competent and creative human's work but that its output can be middling enough to meet the frequently already dialed in expectations for mediocrity that are typical of so many sectors of modern life
As was true with the translators I heard from in an earlier edition, copywriters never felt that they were being replaced because the AI's work was better. It was almost always worse. It was simply cheaper and faster, and deemed "good enough" by clients.

It's likely going to be another 6 months, so I'm doing a casual Pre-Moving Sale at my blog to see if I can clear out a corner of my home office.

So, I did a thing. I was interviewed by @dennishensley.bsky.social on Dennis Anyone? We talked generally about being driven to create, with a bit of a focus on groundbreaking gay folk duo Romanovsky & Phillips. You can listen wherever you get podcasts, or directly from podcast.dennisanyone.net

Start by talking about Chosen Family- a well-known, popular term, and gradually clarify who that includes in your life. Or, for more impact start with "I must confess I have a daughter you don't know about"

so @msnowreports.bsky.social says #mtg "railed against business as usual in Washington [and] the rising costs throughout the nation" and announced "she will step down on Jan. 5, 2026 — two days after her congressional pension officially vests." Rising costs, business as usual, indeed.

As we approach World Aids Day (Dec.1) and mourn the obscene loss of so much, here's a gentle reminder that we did not lose an entire generation to the virus. But if we don't acknowledge the few survivors we finish the destruction.
