I drive missiles that run on scissors (trains), make strange noises with circuits, observe conflicts, research break-away movements, and write. Not an expert - I work for a living.

Guitar project coming along. The only gaps before wiring everything are errors in equipment purchases.

I‘m not sure what phase of capitalism this particular marketing strategy for a $1500 inflatable gorilla sofa is… but I’m into the part where it now actually feels like we’re living in a sci-fi dystopia.

Bands I’ve seen this week: 1. Die Krupps 2. My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult 3. Ministry 4. Bobby Joe Ebola & The Children McNuggets Unless something unforeseen happens and I see another band today, that will probably close out the list for this week.

Drove 3 hours to Seattle. Caught Ministry-Thrill Kill-Die Krupps for 4 hours. Drove 3 hours home. The show was definitely worth the drive.

Today, I’m experiencing social anxiety from all of the people who want me to vote for them for school board positions. Wild! (I’m not voting for school board. I feel comfortable outsourcing this decision to my neighbors, actually.)

My 4 year old: “I don’t like stuff from the 90s. I only like things that are cool.” It begins.

Picked up a Boss RC-1 Loop station the other month and just now getting a chance to sit down and play around with it.

If the FBI knocks on my door, the joke’s on them. I’m probably at work. Good luck finding me at work, too. I’m constantly in motion. They gotta either call, email me, or text. And even then, I won’t get it until the end of my shift. In general, it’s a pain in the ass to try and contact me, ngl.

One of the giants of IR, Joseph Nye, has died.As @dandrezner.bsky.social correctly noted,its a rather cruel irony that Nye died as the importance of his greatest contribution to IR, concept of soft power, is about to be field tested about US by Trump Admin. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/joseph-nye...

One strange thing being a mass transit operator for 2 years now has instilled in me is a deep affinity for the local bureau of transportation. I just pulled up to an intersection earlier behind a PBOT vehicle and thought to myself “Fuck yeah! PBOT! I love those guys!”

Won’t somebody with any degree of authority and notoriety just come out and say the obvious, already? These are dumb fucking talks! They’re not grounded in the recent history of the conflict, nor in the interests of either party to the war for reasons obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention.

Two years ago today, three anarchists were killed in battle near Bakhmut: Cooper Andrews, Finbar Cafferkey, and Dmitry Petrov. In this eulogy, we explore the life of Dmitry Petrov, which doubles as a snapshot of two decades of struggle in the post-Soviet world. crimethinc.com/petrov 🏴🏴🏴

Kinda hilarious watching everyone finally learn just how much of a narcissistic piece of shit Newsom is. Wild that folks ever lent him their approval based on their rosy perceptions of California and its politics.

Reimagining “material support” to include non-material expressions of support is… interesting.

My first Foreign Policy essay is out - it examines the role of violence in Russia's military, which both creates docility in the face of meatgrinder tactics, and encourages increased violence towards fellow soldiers and Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians. foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/09/r...

I’m trying to imagine someone telling 19 year old me standing in the tear gas clouds of Quebec at the FTAA protests in 2001 that one day, America was just gonna end the post-Bretton Woods trade order on a lark… …And honestly, I would have just assumed that they were delusional. But here we are.

It’s imperative that we understand that longing for the return to what was already an atrocity is not freeing us. We can fight for the world we want instead of begging for the previous (also) oppressive arrangement.

Oddly, this won’t impact the lives of Portlanders one bit.
