An update about my most recent post

Feb 4, 2026

I thought I’d provide an update to my previous posts about the attack on my house last week. Over the weekend, my friends came over and we rebuilt the stairs. While this is far outside of my scope of knowledge, I have some really wonderful friends who came through in a big way. Thank you to everyone who checked in or offered support. Those stairs are better than they were before and they are held together by friendship as much as anything else.

Yesterday a contractor came by and repaired the vandalized roof sections, support framing, and fascia boards. He did this work on an emergency basis to prevent further water damage. Gutters will be installed later in the week. This nightmare is finally ending.

In these uncertain times, coercion, duplicity, and extortion by those who would seek to exploit you are no match for the support of people – friends and family alike – who care about you.

This day took a real turn 😵‍💫

Got scammed today. Watch out for people who offer to fix minor problems with your house. Police report filed — apparently it’s a known scam that they have encountered recently. A $100 staircase repair quickly spired out of control into a ~$14k demand for payment and part of the roof of the house on the ground with a guy pressuring me to pay him. Beware, stay safe, and don’t talk to strangers. ❤️

Go back this Doug Drexler documentary on Kickstarter. It’s currently got 71% funding and 7 days to go. I wanna see it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/…

We shouldn’t be surprised that Schumer caved again. The Democratic Party establishment is not fighting for you. Their motivation in the two-party system is to drain effort and energy from real leftists so that we don’t get organized and get shit done. We are watching kabuki theatre. 🎭

MacOS 26.1 is still largely unusable on an M1 iMac, especially if you use Stage Manager. 🖥️➡️🗑️ Very disappointing. Beware if you plan to upgrade from Sequoia. Hoping for big perf fixes soon, @Apple. 🙍‍♂️🙏

This is a PSA to suggest to anybody using a CPAP that you should try turning up the humidity level a couple of notches. Just had the greatest, most refreshing sleep in a long time.
