I am grateful to be here with you. #HappyThanksgiving

“Hillbilly Elegy” felt like a time machine. I grew up in Appalachia and am same age JD Vance. Critics seem to lament other narratives not getting a movie too or that JD did not escape conservatism when he escaped poverty, but it was a fair depiction, not poverty porn or slumming.

I have been using Firefox 83’s HTTPS-only mode for a week. I love its “secure connection not available” interrupt because it raises immediate awareness of network insecurity and forces a decision. For example, I may want to decline on public Wi-Fi.

Working on my first real Ember.js app in 4 years and remembering how much I love making Web apps. A lot to catch up on, but also so many new superpowers.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. #TransAwarenessWeek

Take a moment to remember the transcestors who fought for the equality trans people are still denied and, if an ally, ask how you might help.

The #InternationalMensDay theme for 2020 is “Better health for Men and Boys”.

I know there is a lot of pressure to “man up” and suffer through pain, but doing so could prematurely end your life. Take care of yourself so you can be there for the people you love.

Today is #InternationalMensDay. I had a cancer scare earlier this year. Thankfully, it was something else. But the experience reminded me of the importance of regular testicular exams and scheduled medical butt stuff.

Men, please do not ignore minor pains that do not go away.

Where is the Xmas song about Dr Santa and researcher elves bringing us a vaccine? 🎶🎅💉

The new Kylie Minogue album is closer to what I wanted Robyn’s follow up to Body Talk to be than whatever Honey was. https://songwhip.com/kylie-minogue/disco

The good news is that the bar for an OS to replace macOS has been lowered.

The bad news is that the Apple M1 raised the bar for hardware with nothing close to competing.

macOS Big Sur is fugly.

It is like a shitty imitation Linux theme of Mac OS X.

Honor veterans by not putting military members in harm’s way until diplomacy unquestionably has failed.

It is time for the US to stop policing the world and to start closing military bases in stable countries.

Republicans made the US flag a toxic symbol. Here is how we take it back.

Add 5 new stars for 5 new states:
• Puerto Rico
• DC
• Guam & Northern Mariana Islands
• US Virgin Islands
• American Samoa

They won’t fly that one, nor will they ever control the Senate again.

What will be the ridiculous first generation flaw of the Apple M1 Macs? There is always at least one.

I am excited to announce I have invested in Wifi Dabba and Aptera Motors.

Wifi Dabba is creating the fastest and most reliable ISP for the next billion users in India.

Aptera Motors is creating the next generation of electric cars: self solar powered.
