Been trying to reduce my reliance on centralized social media for news gathering. Recently, I switched away from Reeder over to NetNewsWire, an RSS reader that’s quickly become one of my favorite apps. Has a very clean interface and is FAST to update and sync between devices.

Hey @wsdot I’d love it if you guys could please get a grip on all the super dangerous potholes in Seattle! Second time in the last few months. 😡

Can’t get Michael Brecker’s lines in Arc of the Pendulum out of my mind:

Was gifted a great coffee recently called Amantolli cafe con vanilla. Very tasty – finished that up way too fast!
I’ll be brewing Kitty Town Coffee vanilla buttercream today. ☕️

An update about my most recent post
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 spiraled 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. ❤️

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.

Had to go into the dungeon under the house to reset the circuit breaker today. Not a fun chore. Intensely disliked. Yeah, so I used to work at a place where we made dungeon crawlers? That doesn’t mean I actually like dungeons in which things are for real crawling around.

What convinced me to change my political alignment from liberal to democratic socialist was the recognition that FDR was not simply an altruistic class traitor in a vacuum, but that he existed in the space just after the Russian revolution. The New Deal was a compromise to prevent a revolution.
