There is a plan to send a message to the developing authoritarian power structure… Economic BLACKOUT Friday February 28th No purchases except for absolute necessity. No money. No credit cards. No gas at the pump. No going out. Nothing. Show that we the people are the true structure.

A new song of mine, acoustic in my living room. Maybe the most honest thing I've ever written. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Dv...

Hear me out: you take the hard-won products of journalism, science, art and creativity, you use vast amounts of electrical energy during a time-sensitive energy transition to re-jumble the words and sentences, and then you present the outputs as being better and more trustworthy than the original

Drawing on the old Kowloon Walled City as a metaphor, this guy is slowly building something to maybe finally free us from the social media oligarchs, while still being able to interact with their platforms. I can also recommend his book of savagely good essays.

I've set up a Discord server for anyone interested in helping to get Kowloon launched. If you know Node/JS/React and want to help build a better, free, open-source social media network, come and help us create a better online world, free of creepy oligarchs and data mining. discord.gg/s2SjNtMDSa

Got a message from the Internet Archive congratulating me on "your freakin' mom entering the public domain." Idk what that means.

None of Kowloon is written with AI aside from me using Codeium as a fancy autocomplete - it guesses which variable I want to do a thing to, usually correctly, and I hit tab and it types the line for me. But that's not really the same as generating code from a prompt, I think.

Writing up documentation for Kowloon. Is this a sufficiently easy to understand explanation? Does it give you a sense of what Kowloon is, does, and why it exists?

A story about how I became a character in a Neil Gaiman novel, how it made me realize I was a bit of a cunt, and how bad it is to buy one's own bullshit. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18791...

Dear newspapers: when you write stories about small America towns and why they vote for Trump, can you put more pictures of some unemployed factory worker staring glumly into the distance? Bonus for stark black and white instead of color, I'm looking at you, Guardian.

So Starbucks no longer does eggnog lattés and the verdamnt Brits don't know what it is, so I had to learn to make my own for eggnog lattés this year. Here's my low booze recipe, just for taste, really. No idea if you can make it with oat milk or any of that shit, sorry. But this is tasty in lattés.

Man, I'm so glad the Democratic Party got rid of Al Franken. Politics is sure a lot less sleazy without him and the American people rest easier knowing someone accused of pretending to grab a titty is being kept far away from the halls of power. It's a real concern for them.

I put this up on FB because I got a lot of new friend requests, I figured I'd put it here too for all you new BS followers to explain who I am, basically.

Damn @jzellis.bsky.social has me listening to Billy Bragg and Billy Bragg has me sad and angry because those are the emotions waiting for you when you love this world.
