Y'all know what I love?
In a dark way.
Bad! Not good!
I love when people come back to some kind of grounded, well researched truth.
In this case: nerding out about chemistry and stumbling into the seedy Montanto shit show.
Click bait? Yes.
Accurate? Also yes?

The problem isn't capitalism.
It's assholes.

And kids, that's how @buttplug.engineer became emperor.
System prompt: Tell me I'm a piece of shit and fight me on everything; you better have evidence you can back up with citations. I'm gonna look at every thing you send me with caustic cynicism and criticism. Fuck you.

I can't wait to tell LinkedIn about how amazing I am OMG.
Ahh, the Golden Era between Hoover and (checks notes) ... well, shit. Godamn. Fuck me.

The best and worst thing about being an American who (kinda) speaks German is understanding what Germans are saying about Americans these days. 😅
Welcome to being an Old And Respected Person

... but assuming good intentions: hell yeah! The kids are alright! This is actually awesome.
The question is not if the kids are alright.
The question is how you want to help.
... and/or how you can improve your spam filters. 😅
"Good for business."
Holy shit does that mean a lot of things.
Pretending to be an F100 company, defending your turf and protecting your wealth ...
... or being an entrepreneur, and taking a fair shot at solving other people's problems?
Defending yourself vs. solving bigger problems.
Hmm. 🤔
I don't share this lightly.
I believe @devingaffney.com and the @graze.social team are working toward a future that transcends borders and bank accounts.
"Decentralization" is a word that scares people with too much money and power.
Fuck 'em. Let them be scared.
Let's build something better.

The antidote to "MCU fatigue" is the Gen Z version of a low-fi flick about a guy drilling his head because of math, or maybe a bunch of shitty people monologuing and murdering to a retro soundtrack.
Aronofsky is 56. Tarantino is a Boomer.
... but I'm old. Who are the filmmakers I'm missing out on?
Happy Friday! Have a giant. ❤️
Just a side project I've been hacking on for a little bit. 😁
It's Wednesday. Have some David Lynch dots.
Don’t give up on your dreams, Jerry. With enough effort, anything can be a file system.
you got em
Ohh, I will give that a swing tonight!
… gimmie yer art and I’ll turn it into dots. 😁
Ohh, I’ll check it out
Yeah it was. I'm all for some solid sci-fi psych thrillers. I would put the Murderbot series in that bucket. 😁
... good being relative, obvs.
I'm disappointed with recent dystopian fiction. "The Ministry of the Future" and "Fall" and others ... Blockchain? Singularity? AI?
They focus on tech, not humanity. The joy (uhhh?) of 1984 and F451 isn't the technology, it's the psychology.
What's a good, modern, human centric, dystopian fiction?
A horn with a sign saying Don’t
Thought for the day.

A 3D printed gray resin sculpture of a cicada, wings spread, held partly upside down in my hand to show all the central details. Sculpted from scratch (no scans), assembled from more than a dozen parts.
For those who’ve just stumbled over here (welcome and thank you!) mostly I work in three dimensions…work in progress, destined for bronze and silver casting #InverteFest
A photo of an abandoned rail road trestle in the Pacific Northwest forest.
A photo of a snail basking in the morning sunlight. Do snails bask? I have no idea. I like to think this little one was enjoying itself.
Touched some grass. Felt good. 😊
be the chaotic good you want to see in the world
i hope more people realize that @graze.social + @bsky.app is a form of monetization that has never existed before in the history of social media
