I don't love/won't love Big Brother. Big fan of brunch though. They/Them. Weird as in Keep Portland Weird, not the couch loving kind.

It's clear that rightwing agitators are flocking to Portland to distort what's happening, pick fights, and create incidents so the Trump Administration can escalate their punitive plans. As this piece by the Star Tribune lays bare, those plans include turning the US military against Americans.

As global markets turn away from the US dollar/Treasury market, it's prudent for the skeptical Left to start understanding Bitcoin. Love it or Hate it, at least understand it.

McGovern: People voted for lower egg prices, not for a Middle East Mar-a-lago. People did not vote to send their sons and daughters into the tunnels of Gaza so that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump can build Trump Tower Gaza.

Why are so many bots following me? I'm a negligible player in social media with zero interest in sharing my banking information or meeting barely legal women. Like, come on, I'm not Matt Gaetz!

The modern-day Chanukah miracle is that the 2 AA batteries in my LED light menorah lasted 8 nights. All due respect to candles, but I'm m paranoid about housefires.

I'm delighted by the healthy skepticism the BlueSky community shares for mainstream media. Yet, I'm continuously shocked by the anti-Bitcoin rhetoric that's constantly regurgitated. The Left will lose more elections if we conclude a decentralized monetary system belongs exclusively to the Right.

A doctor at Kaiser asked for my consent to use AI while charting, then pushed back when I withheld it. I told him I was exercising my right to resist within the diminishing window of time I have left to choose. Small win, as I await my antibiotic.
