Hey did you hear? The party formerly known as “the GOP” has renamed themselves to “the antidemocracy” party, to be more straightforward about their purpose. I will make sure to only refer to them in this manner going forward.

I’ll say again the weak point in the strategy of putting on a calm face in response to an outright coup attempt and hoping everything will work out is the spineless officeholders only feel pressure from the authoritarian side.

Looking for something to do while being away from your computer? I know I'm trying to get away and rest my typing hands... How about a tech podcast? Ben Rady and I just started Two's Complement Podcast - twoscomplement.org ! Listen on the site, or find it wherever you get your podcasts!

So very true. Neil Gaiman's beautiful reaction a minute in made me giggle and tear up at the same time. There is no comic more beloved to me in all of my vast comic library than Sandman (as indicated by my favorite bookends in the most prominent position on my bookshelves).

My friends over at Prota Ventures have a kickstarter for: BrewVide - Sous Vide for Brewing kickstarter.com/projects/brewv… As many of you know, beer isn't really my thing, but I know it is for a lot of you, so here you go! (It also looks cool for large-scale sous vide...mmm...barbecue)

Sometimes, people are awesome.

Things that make me very happy: - A new Scalzi book - A (new or otherwise) @marthawells1 book - A new Scalzi book with a reference to my favorite @marthawells1 books? <chef’s kiss>

It is possible I had something to do with this.

Also this. Thank you so much, Yoshihiko Kanaumi. We are Groot!

And one more for the last family member...

I believe the biggest gap we have in Chicago tech is first-check writing angels, so Lofty Ventures is building more of them through our syndicate, with a big emphasis on turning founders into angels. Read more in this Chicago Inno article and this 🧵 below…

Awesome work, Farcaster team. Super excited about what y'all are doing.

Congratulations Amazon! You have officially made Comic Reading on Kindle so completely untenable that I'm just giving up on digital comics entirely! Quite an impressive feat, really.

FFS, Apple this whole Reactions thing is just embarrassing. So far I've had to assist in disabling it for different people in: 1. A memorial video call. 2. A strategic meeting about helping homeless refugees. 3. A difficult perf review. None should have balloons or lasers.

Check this out from Impact Stream! I'm excited to also announce that the next impact round (transparent voting & donation money movement) will be on ApeChain. 🦍 We took 2TB of footage from our trip in Africa last month. This is a super-informative initial preview (well done,
