Speaking about knowing too much history - while waiting for a contractor, I started reading "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder. It's amazingly on point, and you can track what is happening now and what will happen if we don't stop it. Read it. Seriously. 💙📚

This is why nobody feared Project 2025 enough because everybody is like, "Who's going to do it? Jared?" Nope, Silicon Valley.

This is 50.

Worth a read to anyone trying to understand where the U.S. is heading at the hands of technoligarchs — Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas newrepublic.com/article/1839... via @newrepublic.com @gilduran.com

I just taped a conversation with a very important journalist @gilduran.com about the tech billionaires in charge of our country and what their plans are for us. I hope everyone will follow and read what Gil is writing. There is still time to stop them! standupwithpete.libsyn.com/1299-gil-dur...

For everyone who has ever held a part of my heart, those parts remain with you in some fashion, and I will never get them back, yet for all of that, it has been worth it. You have all been worth it, and I am a better man for the lessons I learned from you all. Enjoy your day!

Don’t give them implied permission to just do what they will. If this is the way we are going, let us not simply lay down and let it happen. A couple of prominent examples show that sometimes people do exactly that, and their worlds change practically overnight. kettle.org/25/02/do-not...

I had my very 1st surgery yesterday at nearly age 50 to remove a penile lesion (thankfully, younger folks have the HPV vaccine!) & a problematic mole for biopsy. Stitches on your genitals after skin was excised is not a pleasant feeling.

I made butternut squash soup for the first time last night, and it’s definitely a keeper!

Your biggest enemy is your uncontrolled mind

ME: How much for the goth Kinder Egg? CASHIER: Sir, that is an avocado.

If you put a lasagna on top of another lasagna, it’s no longer two lasagnas. It’s one giant lasagna. THAT is the power of lasagna.

Zero tolerance for pedophiles. This platform is not welcome to those who would harm and defile children.

There is no rationalizing with pedophiles. Pedophiles are a blight and a harm to hilarity. One need not hate them to stand vehemently and firmly against them. Being openly a pedophile invites everything bad that pedophiles deserve. By all means, shine this light on yourself and other pedophiles.

Pedophiles can fuck all the way off and are not welcome here or anywhere. There is no rational discourse to be had with such individuals. They are sick or evil, or both, and I will not tolerate them. They must be shunned, ostracized, and vilified everywhere. This is a hill I’d gladly die on.

i’m sick of these granite countertops i want new ones made from the bones of my enemies

In my work, I have never been the sort to say “Not my job, not my responsibility. Go find the right person.” Plenty of others are that exact way, and it’s one reason I’m popular as the guy who “knows everything” even when I’m just resourceful enough to know who does what adjacent to my work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

*sits bolt upright in bed* THE WICKED WITCH’S NAME WAS DING DONG

Work stress has been all sorts of extra this week. I’m not complaining about it, but just observing it as a data point in my life that contributes to me being a bit less creative, a bit more escapist, and less tolerable of bullshit. Plenty of us experience this on the regular.

You have a fucked up sense of humor too. Let's be friends.

I’m “I can’t sit like that for too long” years old.

I have 304 tabs open because my brain is insatiable and also easily distracted when I’m not hyperfocusing. -me, apparently flirting
