If you haven’t seen it yet, Jack Dorsey went ahead and is shooting to start Twitter 2.0 which he has named “Blue Sky”. Apparently he’s outright ripping off the overall federation concept from email, XMPP, and obviously Mastodon. I think where Mastodon has succeeded has been in creating a fully federated echo chamber. Yes, you too can now participate in a heterogeneous echo chamber where you post something you believe in and it is showered in the likes and replies of hundreds of individuals who concur! It’s wild how they’ve achieved this under federation, but it looks like the hat tip is to Google for how completely Google has wrought havoc on the email system.

Holy shit, I’m getting married, y’all. Like, for real. It’s crazy to think about. It’s right around the corner. I’m insanely excited. I really never thought I’d get married again, and it’s happening in eight days. It’s wild. I can’t believe how lucky I am. It’s going to be an amazing time. The honeymoon is going to be amazing. All-inclusive adults only resort with my new wife in the caribbean. I’m so excited.

Does it feel as though time is slipping by at an ever-increasing rate? I think I was cheated out of a weekend. It’s almost as though it didn’t even happen.

Man, the more I think about that the less fair I think the universe is. Time only drags by when you need it to go fast. This is a rule without exception. And time, likewise, slips by when you want it to cling. It’s the only commodity you get in spades only if you don’t want it. Fairness has clearly been considered here, and unfairness used as the basis by which the entire concept is built.

We’ve been pseudo-watching a ridiculous series on Netflix called “Florida Man”. It’s pretty fucking silly, if I’m being honest. The main characters are mostly normal human-like people, but it’s like everything that happens is happening in Florida, so some scenes just have a random meth-head hijacking an Ambulance. Shit like that. It’s interesting, I guess. I need a new nerd series to watch, though. “The Boys” was great, but my appetite for that sort of stuff is just insatiable. I can’t get enough, and so when it comes, it’s over in a binge and a half. It kinda sucks, to be honest. It’s so good, yet so short, pretty much every time. Ah well.

With recent revelations of Clarence Thomas accepting bribes from Republican billionaire mega-donors, I think it’s high time the Supreme Court of the United States be externally audited for ethics compliance and held accountable for any issues or failures found, possibly up to and including impeachment.

The public at large will not stand for this insane degree of corruption. We will not have these clearly paid individuals destroying our liberties to satisfy billionaire mega-donor’s whims and fancies. Fuck Clarence Thomas.

Since DA Alvin Bragg has brought out 34 charges that should’ve been addressed years ago, the GOP has gone hard with its campaign to gaslight the country into thinking that white collar crime is somehow less egregious because it’s non-violent. Theft of parked cars is also non-violent, do we let those slide as well?

I honestly can’t fucking believe these morons. Seriously. Is anyone buying this shit? Donald Trump has been indicted. Great. Where do we go from here as a country? We’ve been soiled by billionaires, seemingly almost beyond repair. We have people who made themselves scions of business by employing underpaid and underrepresented workers, exploiting fellow US citizens, then dying and leaving billions in trusts to their kids. Meanwhile this trust is untaxed, and we have people starving in the streets. It’s disgusting. It’s despicable. It’s a Republican utopia.

Is it easier for me to be dismissive if I never expected this to be my career? I honestly thought I’d be stuck in abject poverty. It started that way, anyways. I guess I should re-frame my question.

Many people, especially fairly neurotypical ones, make a plan for the future and make reasonable attempts at sticking with it. Some people go to law school, others become dental hygienists, and a good number of people go into nursing. It seems like a lot of people know what they’ll be doing for the rest of their lives by their mid twenties. At least the high functioning ones, anyways. You’ll always have the dredges who put their car payment before their rent, but I’m not really talking about them. I’m specifically bringing up the people who have a plan. It seems like they have an idea in their head about how every day of their lives will look and they’re seemingly content to put in the time and effort to get themselves there.
