Wrote a popular comment on Twitter in 2009...it was all downhill from there. Heja BVB!
If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

Appalling trip on Amtrak #318 between Kansas City and St Louis, where business class travelers have been forced into coach while the business class car is “closed". We paid a premium to be in a quiet car, near the club car and with the upgraded seat amenities. No leg room, no reclining seats...

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation.

The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them.

We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed.

The Bluesky politics are more civil, but I miss the toxicity of Horse Racing Twitter so I continue to check in. The level of degenerates there feels so welcoming!
