I don't normally jump to the "conspiracy" conclusion, but I did on this one. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/u...

Log, baby, log Drill, baby, drill. Dig, baby, dig, And now Log, baby, log. Trump is moving as fast as he can to plunder our natural resources while he still can. Please read and share.

Trying to Bridge the Web For a long time I have been a big proponent of keeping my data on my personal website, and sharing to social media as I see fit. I've talked a lot about the "open web" in the past. So lately I've been exploring ways that I can better participate in a more peer-to-peer web.

Clouds over the Coast Range

A step over to the dark side and a rapid retreat What I learned from a dive into AI agents and vibe coding, and how it will affect my workflow as a hobbyist web developer.

It's time for the media to take a stand. paullieberman.org/blog/its-tim...

“Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?” Different generation, same tyranny.

Either more than half the “people” who follow me on Bluesky are fake, or pretty young women are way more into me than I would have expected.

I keep seeing things like “Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism”, or “we’re in danger of becoming a fascist dictatorship”. Sorry, that ship has sailed. We’re already there. The only question now is can we win the country back?

Always delighted when my computer does something new. I was logging in to a site that required a verification code which it sent me by text. My computer picked up the text, extracted the code, offered to fill in and submit the verification form, and then delete the text. How cool is that!

What did you see in that video? “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984 But in the age of fake news and AI our eyes and ears are easily fooled.

Sunny and cold for a nice winter bike ride.

I just received a text message from Mark Kelly's campaign asking for a donation. I fully support Mark Kelly, but I swore off giving money. I think it's a loosing strategy for Democrats. There has got to be a better way.

tcha Timanwi is the highest peak in the Oregon Coast Range. I take a lot of pictures of this mountain.

When the valley’s fogged in you’ve got to climb.

Nice scene on my ride today.

It started when Reagan said “government is the problem “, and now Trump has started demolishing the White House.

With friends like these who needs enemies! I hope no one is fooled by Trump’s using antisemitism as an excuse to attack academic freedom and to go after Muslims. Rather than making the country safer for Jews he is doing the exact opposite.

Now Trump can just blame all the unpopular cuts on Musk so his base won’t desert him.

Test ride to see if I can still get up the hills on my loaded bikepacking bike.

Heather Cox Richardson’s been going on about how the Ukraine drone attack is a game changer in warfare. Really it was just the Trojan Horse ploy. They hid the drones in prefab housing being shipped into Russia.

Robert Kennedy Jr is a quack But not all of his ideas are wrong. Please read my blog post about how some good could come from his efforts to make America healthy again.

The peacocks paid a visit this morning. There were six of them.

If you want to end war you've got to sing louder.

My kind of road.

The news this morning said today is the 50th anniversary of "the fall of Saigon". The fall of what? You mean Reunification Day as they celebrate it in Vietnam? It made me wonder what they call American Independence Day in England? Ungrateful colonist rebellion day? Perspective is everything.

Rainbow Trail - South Island - New Zealand - 2017

Here in western Oregon most drives are generally courteous. But there are occasional angry MAGAts in their big pickup trucks trying to run you off the road. They don't even know why they're angry. They just see a cyclist and assume you're a liberal and therefore to blame for all their problems.

Almost 3 years ago. Iconic bikepacking adventure.

I had a lovely bike ride today despite two drivers trying to run me off the road. It made me realize MAGAts are still angry. They won, the got their man and he’s doing all the awful things they want, but a lone cyclist on a country road is still a threat to them.

I verified some of my friends using this. It was not working all that great at resolving handles. However if I looked up their DID first it would work with that.

I went down to the demonstration - part 2 My thoughts after attending the second Hands Off demonstration on the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution. Please share with your friends if you like what I have to say.

Trump's war on intelligence When he's not busy sending innocent people to concentration camps, or attempting to destroy the world's economy, Trump has been waging a war against our education systems. What's the real end game here?

Drupalsky module overview Here is a project I've been working on that integrates Bluesky in a Drupal site. If you use Drupal and Bluesky I'd like your opinion on whether there is a use case for this.

I went down to the demonstration The Hands Off anti-Trump demonstrations were a great show of numbers, but will it make a difference? Is there anything we can do to turn the tide at this point?
