“While democracy has advanced, the part we ordinary citizens have played in the making and sustaining of the places and communities we live in has diminished. Never has so much been decided for so many by so few.” (David Fleming, Shaun Chamberlin, Surviving the Future)
Has anyone used the “Brick” device to be able to make your phone less distracting? Is it helpful? Worth the cost?
What’s the over-under that we’re already in The Bad Place?
Few things on earth with less courage than a GOP Senator, it seems.
A wild, thought-provoking ride, so far! Currently reading: Lean Logic by David Fleming 📚
Trying to figure out the difference between brake cleaner and parts cleaner when it comes to DIY maintenance and repairs. Do you use these interchangeably? Anything else you typically reach for when you need to clean dirt and oil off of something?

Always a good day when my squad standup is my only meeting! :) Probably my favorite part about being a software engineer at a company that prioritizes my problem-solving time.

Just got through a round of family sickness the other day, and now our 4yo’s got a double ear infection. Sigh.
“The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The water’s gettin' warm, so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire, how ‘bout yours?”
I DON’T REALLY LIKE IT AND I’D RATHER BE BORED.

What music is getting you through (gestures broadly) these days?
I think we’re living in the dumbest timeline.
Is it kind?
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Does it need to be said?
Does it need to be said by me?
Does it need to be said right now?
What’s bringing you joy these days? People, habits, recipes, books, TV shows, movies, etc.
