Outspoken, old-school leftie xennial and aspiring treinfietser, keeping the heart of the 80s and 90s alive.

My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by.

Follow for software architecture & development, travel and anti-conservative global & regional politics.

Democratic socialism is what good and decent people believe in.

You can fit many other minor values in to mix it up and personalize. But at the end of the day, if you aren't a socialist, I question your humanity.

<sigh>

Everyday I get to witness today's unfortunate 10,000 realize that some particular extractive capitalist organization was never really their friend after all.

I wish they were bright enough to realize that *no* extractive capitalist organization is *anyone's* friend, *ever*.

But they seem to experience each event as an isolated dot, and have either insufficient will or insufficient ability to draw a line connecting the dots.

Finally built my first @frameworkcomputer!

These are the computers everyone should be buying right now and putting a Gnome UX on. But there are so many angles to it all.

Many thoughts to gather.

I never sell hope or silver bullets.

I will however sell you the guarantee and affirmation that your own effort is going to be essential..... But that you will not have to do it alone.

We are so stuck thinking that the only definition of "valid" is "convenience".

Putin keeps bombing Ukraine, but today the Danish Minister of Business Development Morten Bødskov signed a deal with his Ukrainian counterpart Herman Smetanin, which means Ukraine will now open weapons factories in Denmark.

And yes, Denmark is a NATO country, so good luck bombing those factories, Putin.

This is the saddest July 4 in my memory. The United States is plunging into vile right-wing dictatorship, in large part because once-vital institutions -- including Big Journalism -- have chosen to be quislings when courage was needed.

It's not too late to reverse our decline, but it's close.
