Pretty cold, wet spring so far. Projected to still be in the low 40s overnight even 10 days from now in early June. I’m looking at hundreds of hemp starts in the garage that need lows above 50 to be planted out and wondering when I’m going to be able to do that.

I was part of the first generation to take to the web and fill it with my hopes and dreams, my stories and music, seeking connection and building community.

Watching assholes like Sam Altman treat all that collected humanity as a strip mine makes me indescribably sad.

It also makes me want to punch him in his smug fucking face.

Why do all these rich assholes sound the same? "I see here a thing on the internet that is kind of working. I WILL REMAKE THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN IT! AND IT WILL WORK BECAUSE I AM RICH!"

Some people fight for what they believe in, others just believe in fighting, and on the internet they can be hard to tell apart.

From now on, I’m going to read all stories about “AI” as if they’re written about a guy named Al, who sucks.

Proof of pepper planting.

Many pepper plants in a garden bed.

I have been planting peppers all day and I am finally ready to admit that I started too many peppers.

Let’s rephrase this JFK Jr brain worm story:

Known liar and conspiracy theorist claimed “a doctor” said he had a brain worm in an attempt to hold on to his fortune during a divorce proceeding even though he was born rich.

Less funny, more accurate.

Really fucking annoying that the far right explains what’s happening in Israel as Jews controlling Biden and the far left explains it as Biden being controlled by Jews. It’s all just antisemitism.

And neither side will acknowledge reality: Bibi is an insane war criminal. Israel is not an American colony, it’s a nation that Biden has no control of. It’s completely arrogant and wrong to think either man can control what the other does, or that the Jewish people have any say over any of it.

Years ago, I went to Poland to see where the Powazeks came from. Dad and I took a tour of one of the camps where our family was killed. The tour guide asked us if we were Polish or Jewish. "Both," I said. "You can't be both," he said flatly. This was in the early 2000s.

This is how the Poles could kill us. Help the nazis send us to camps. Take our homes. We weren't part of "us."

Today: Republican Ron Johnson reminds us that Jews in America are also not "us."
