I'm just here to scream into the digital void. Also a supply chain nerd, digital wonk, level 8 cynic, Gen Xer, and proudly trans 🏳️‍⚧️
I'm off to read "The Emperor's New Clothes". Not for any particular reason that I can think of...

Is it too much to ask to have a President that doesn't require adult diapers 🤔

As an 80’s kid I have to admit I have been sleeping on #music from the 1970s. But, it might be the greatest music era ever 🎧

This week's @benandjerrys.bsky.social haul 🍦🍦

Non-dairy Cherry Garcia
Non-dairy Change the Whirled
Non-dairy Cookie Dough

This is quickly becoming an addiction...

The older I get the more I realize that #genx is the #greatestgeneration. We have truly lived it all.

Analog to digital
Outside to inside
Absentee parents to helicopter parents
USA vs. USSR
Movies to TikTok
Books to Kindles
Encyclopedia to Wikipedia
Rotary phone to smart phone
and so much ...

In a world full of jerks, be kind.

When the news is full of doom and gloom and pundits are projecting the end of democracy I like to immerse myself reading history. It doesn't solve today's problems, but it sure shows human fallibility is not a recent phenomenon.

Last weeks' tally...4 pints of @benandjerrys.bsky.social (non-dairy). And I don't share...

The title of my new book should be, "Whispers of a Madman" 📘

A story about how psychosis, old age, and political power bring about the #apocalypse. Maybe a #timetravel where King George is transported to 2025 🤴🏼

Though I'm sure there are plenty of a others who fit the bill.

I am officially starting my campaign to advocate for citizens to own their personal data and that no company or government shall abridge that right.

In other words, owning your personal #data is a #humanright.

At this point I am "comfortably numb", thank you #pinkfloyd for the words.

It sure feels like the U.S. just experienced a kernel panic and did a hard reboot and all of our unsaved work was deleted.

I am feeling much safer and secure today knowing that the #USAF has eliminated duty patches, requires daily shaving for me, and put strict regulations on nail polish 💅

This combined with the elimination of #DEI means we cannot be stopped in air operations 🚀👨‍🚀

I have to say that the reboot of the "American Reality Show" is wild! A nonstop ride full of twists, turns, villains, and unexpected reveals. Consider me entertained.

But, as democratic governments go, this is not so successful.

Am I in the upside down? How is #communist China winning #capitalism right now?

#tiktok garners 170M fanatical users (of which I am one)
#deepseek builds a "better" AI for a fraction of the cost

The best the U.S. government and the #broligarchs can muster is whining, complaining, and banning 🤨

How the #broligarchs plan to tackle the #deepseek challenge.

Maybe the #broligarchs should be spending more time making their products smarter and cheaper instead of cosplaying politics.

To put that in context, that is:

-> The annual emissions of ~2,500 to 3,500 people 🧍🏼🧍🏼‍♀️🧍🏼‍♂️
-> Burning over 5 million gallons of gasoline ⛽️
-> Driving a typical gasoline car 35 to 50 million miles 🚗

No wonder people are disillusioned by talk/actions about the climate crisis.
Global elite at the #wef: Be eco-conscious

Also, global elite:
* 1000 private jets flew into Davos 🛩️
* Each flight hour puts out 2 to 3 metric tons of CO₂ 💨
* The average flight to Davos is estimated to be 1.5 to 2 hours ⏱️
* Private jets produced about 10,000–14,000 metric tons of CO₂ 😶‍🌫️

I blame #westwing for giving us hope that government could be a functional, even inspirational, force for good.

Clearly that was dystopian fiction beyond what Bradbury, Orwell, Asimov, and others could have ever dreamed up.
