People with empathy are deeply impacted by harm being done to real people. We feel it in our gut-- our very souls. To feel this strongly puts a heavier requirement on us to create justice. It's called moral responsibility. Trump has called activists expressing moral responsibility terrorists.

It's clear that a significant portion of Americans were tricked into thinking that they knew better than the experts or that the experts couldn't be trusted. So instead of figuring things out through logic or sound reasoning, we are resorting to learning things the hard way, by trial and error.

We can do better. We need to get in front of the average American and show them how Democrats are going to help THEM now. This is just lip service.

The Project 2025 architect was just confirmed to lead the WH budget office. Complaining does nothing. If you hate what is going on, then do more. Calling your reps is a start, but go to your town, county, or state democratic meetings. Step up to run for office. Everything else is just lip service.

With everything that is going on, it is not enough to yell through your keyboard. People have to step up and do something. It doesn't have to be perfect. For example, the DNC has some shady parts to it, and that must change if it is meant to represent the working class.

Finished up Service Model, by @aptshadow.bsky.social. It's about a robot valet that finds itself cast out into the world, but something has gone very wrong. As a result, it struggles to find a new a new normal while running into bizarre situations that force it to do unexpected things.

In my quest to figure things out, a few simple things are obvious: - keep reading. - avoid low effort content that seeks to fire off dopamine. - keep exercising. - keep a journal to reflect. - make improvements to myself no matter how small.

@bsky.app please add some sort of group functionality where subscribers can see private posts. My only option for some of the organization I'm a part of is facebook, and I'd love to be able to get them to move to bluesky.

I think I might end up paying for Kagi. It has a really nice feature, a domain can be blocked or downgraded. That means goodbye to trashy click-bait websites that take up 20 paragraphs spread over dozens of ads to convey a few sentences of information.
