I dream of living in a small town where I could have a vegetable garden, raise fish, and code from my breakfast nook.

The Pentagon erased Maj. Gen. Charles Rogers, a Black Medal of Honor recipient, from its site—then slipped “DEI” into the URL like a smear. This isn’t just gutting diversity programs—it’s deleting history. Trump’s war on DEI is now a war on who gets remembered. Who’s next?

Donald Trump has spent $10 million of taxpayer dollars playing golf. But he wants to cut Social Security for seniors who worked their whole lives to earn $65 a day. Hell no.

I love reading translated novels because they give me insight into how others see the world and solve problems. One phrase I read is, “All men are dragons.” In this context, a dragon is a ruler. So, it means people are in control of their own destinies—a world without Ceasars.

I know I am not alone in wanting to spend less time online. But is there anything IRL to return to? I’m sad about all the shared spaces we lost to the digital revolution.

It is wrong for AI companies to copy and steal the works of others, especially if they turn around and then use the works against their creators.

A shameful record.

I'm pretty spiritual—maybe even borderline religious—but I wish social clubs like the Elks or Masons weren't faith-based. I would love to join a lodge, hang out, and do community service with good people.

I consider myself a fiscal conservative. I'm pro-markets, not pro-business. But I'm so angry I might vote straight blue until the day I die.

I'm disgusted by how the Republicans are forcing Ukraine to make concessions to the Russians. That's rewarding them for bad behavior.

JD Vance’s Cousin: Calls Him ‘Putin’s Useful Idiot’ Nate Vance, a Republican Marine vet who fought in Ukraine, just torched JD Vance for siding with Russia. “They’re not our allies. They never will be,” he said, slamming JD’s pro-Putin rhetoric and Trump’s “bad faith ambush” of Zelenskyy. Brutal.

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

Society and the economy are collaborative frameworks. Taking without contributing is not collaborating. That's why I am against UBI. Do your fair share.

We need to respect our vets by supporting them.

With AI's popularity, there is a lot of talk about UBI. How are we going to fund it? My suggestion is to use tax money to fund for-profit enterprises. With AI, we must shift to public-owned production to support the people. USPD should make money on packages—the public needs to own AI production.

Listening to podcasts is depressing. “The future is here but unevenly distributed.” We are in the middle of an arms race over AGI/TAI, and the enemy is China. Everything will happen within 3-5 years. At the end of it, computers will be better than thought workers at their jobs.

My path is severing. If I cannot rise, I will cut away everything that holds me back. I will not show mercy to myself.
