My favorite part of the video is the leg buckling.

My father is one of the signatories on this piece. Good read: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The “kumbaya, all we need is love stuff” from the 70s and 80s is missing the mark at these protests. This needs more of a “fight like hell” vibe… less acoustic guitar.

“Make fascists afraid again” was my favorite sign.

No kings

Big props to those resisting ICE and the military in Los Angeles. The LAPD has always sucked.

Really don’t feel like paying estimated taxes. Most of the things I felt good about my taxes supporting are gone or going.

Moss beach tide pools

heading to san fran this week if there are any science nerds (or really anyone) that want to show me what they are working on or want to go to a tide pool

They need to remake Back To The Future and have Biff win. That is the future we are currently in. And the “sweep the leg” guy from Karate Kid is Secretary of Defense.

If you use ChatGPT ask it how sophisticated your questions are from a scale 1 to 100. I got 88-92.

So where is the hub of resistance? When do we form human walls to stop ICE. What states will create their own NIH (SIH pronounced ‘sigh’) Where are the new generation of leaders? I think they need to be more than Cory Booker. I fear the only solution is more radicals if e we can’t get scale.

Immigrants have fewer criminality scores than US citizens. This 🧪 study had to be erased! So what happens then, people are going on leaking it, what a shame! 🤭

I use Creepy Dave when telemarketers call

If you’re not doing the thing that you say that you want to do then it’s very possible that you don’t really want to do that thing.

I remember childhood conversations with friends about if you could go back in time to stop Hitler and the Nazis and what you would be willing to sacrifice.

Any firefly researchers or enthusiasts? I’m looking for footage to use in a fundraising video.

I’d like to make a sculpture that is made of a ribbon of material that follows the motion of my hands as I wash myself in the shower. I believe it is a set path that I repeat every day unknowingly. And I think it would be beautiful.

I’m surprised there has never been a large scale federal income tax strike.

This background radiation of anxiety is a gnawing hum.

Looking to do a fundraiser video on horseshoe crabs or fireflies conservation. Who might I chat with?

I wrote a song for winter soundcloud.com/zefrank/sad-...

I also want contributors to platforms at all levels of popularity to organize and exert coordinated action if the platform reverses a position, destroys an asset that the contributor built, or acts unethically.

I don’t want to be part of platforms that have no ethical stance, no position on human rights, that use the DMCA to justify not policing piracy, that use ‘free speech’ as a way to wash their hands from hate and disinformation.

I am a birthright citizen

Why do we think Blue Sky will be different than other social media sites? I can easily see the same ugly dynamics play out as they start adding advertising and subscriptions. We who use these platforms should form alliances that have conditions attached to our participation.

So this is the first stab at figuring out the size/technique,etc. I’ll start fixing the bees to the acrylic pane tomorrow. I think I’ll have to work larger and I might need more than one species of bee. Also want to make them 3D. This is a portrait of Bill Anderson, CEO of Bayer AG, killer of bees.

Any platforms that might draw folks from Instagram?

I am drying my bees. I will say that I have to clue what I’m doing…but I will tell you that chopsticks are invaluable when working with many bees of the less than alive variety.

Got my first batch of dead bees from @matthew-olsen-7

It is all so special.

But really. Midlife crisis. Like when I was recovering from surgery I felt so light and i thought I got how special it all was. Like awakenings. And it slipped away. You can feel something like that with drugs but not while having your full capacity.

Zuckerberg said that his MAGA turn might result in some people leaving the platform due to “virtue signaling” which is what people who don’t have integrity call integrity.

Can the fine print be its own separate universe?

I mean sure there are days when I buy groceries and ask the cashier “what do you think I’ll make out of this?” And they say something. And I say “Wrong! It’s feces. It’s always feces” And I guess that gives me some joy.

Is anyone else’s midlife crisis a lot less fun than it was advertised?

Seeing this surge of high potency fruit-flavored, infused, dipped, resin laden marijuana pre-rolls makes me think of how social media also has trended toward similar characteristics. Tastes like chemicals.
