If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

“Move fast and break things” sounds cool when said off the cuff by a tech bro. It’s a little less cool when those ‘things’ are a bunch of struggling humans trying to make a go at a decent life.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

As planned, I am joining others in deleting my X/Twitter account today. I’ve downloaded an archive, so here we go. On this ominous day, I needed to take at least one step to lighten my load, and X has been oppressive for a while. Time to shed its weight.

So I heard about setting Jan 20 as official leave-Twitter-en-masse day. Is that still happening, bc I think I’m ready to go. I’ve kept my account, but anytime I pop by over there, I hate its toxicity and leave. So if we’re sending a message, I’m in.

Just saw Gladiator 2 and it hits strikingly close to home in a political climate that sees the raw pursuit of power while crushing opposition and destroying norms as a utilitarian means to the end of maximum control and power.
