“This weight presses on me every day. I am flooded with stories. There are so many I cannot remember them all; cannot keep straight who was gassed, beaten, abducted, or shot. I write to leave a record, to stare at the track of the tornado. I write to leave a warning. I write to call for help.”
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

“67% of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated in the September survey – far higher than the roughly half who said this in 2021 and 2019.”
Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Do all modern TVs have slow, shitty connections with their remotes?
I have two different brands in my home and with both of them I constantly find myself smashing buttons repeatedly and waiting forever to the selection to move or the video to pause. Did I just choose poorly or is this standard?

Same playbook that the Chinese Communist Party has been using to disrupt any constructive academic discussion of its human rights abuses on American campuses: sending provocateurs with party or military backgrounds to disrupt class or event proceedings and recording the faces of every attendee.

Today I felt randomly compelled to watch the Yankees season opener. I don't think I've watched a Yankee game since I went to one with a friend in 2014. I used to be a mega-fan, but my very superstitious sister ruined it for me.

I was asked to provide a letter of support for the Utah legislature's HB 322, which, if enacted as is, would become the most comprehensive family vlogging legislation in the US. I've shared my remarks here for those who want to learn about this labor & privacy issue

Really doing the work to solidify myself as the neighborhood weirdo as I run down the street with wet hair and slippers to peep the neighbors’ trash to see if I missed pickup or not.

When y’all use clips from shows and movies in your TikToks and such, how are you getting those? Torrenting? Some screen record workaround? There are lots of things I want to make that require clips for visual examples.

Being shelter-in-place-adjacent bc there’s a manhunt happening within a 20 mile radius is like an early Covid flashback. Like how it feels unethical to order DoorDash and how the government could have prevented so much of the suffering but actively chooses to suck instead.

A cool thing about capitalism is that I can be navigating multiple major life changes at once and still feel like a failure if I’m a little behind with some work things.
