Last Notes npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb This’ll do. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb That we are. Just got shunted the long way around on my childcare run because of a massive security perimeter to protect, not arrest, a genocider with an ICC warrant. NYPD are in DC to support the US Capitol Police in managing the perimeter. Gave all the anti-occupation/apartheid/genocide demonstrators I saw out honks and raised fists of solidarity. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Everyone else's ego running my world https://dcdispat.ch/2024/07/21/everyone-elses-ego.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Here we go… hold on tight! npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Caught up with the most recent episode of Maron’s podcast & enjoyed the bit in his usual rambling opening where he called out Trump on not citing his sources, being a coward for not giving credit to Hitler. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Design to survive the sacrifice https://dcdispat.ch/2024/06/14/design-to-survive.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Enioying one of the longest running podcasts I know—one of those things that predated the term—radiozero.us from Rick and Rose of the Posterchildren. In one earbud while swapping in for the other parent who returned from shopping with The Childe sleeping in the car. Catching up on their first hand Steve Albini memories https://radiozero.us/2024/05/10/memories-of-steve/ npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Gratified for @[email protected] ’s essays on smart, low-cruft, standards-based web development of late. As a (former?) web developer I was both discouraged by the mountain of frameworks+related things that seemed to be the default starting point for projects I saw, and certain that while there are new things for me to learn, what I was seeing dominate was not the best. Ran into a former colleague who is a real pro still doing agency-based web development and he seemed to agree. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb A good trick is not being too high on being present, when one is lucky enough to experience that, to not capitalize on what you might notice. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Accountability, hope, gratitude https://dcdispat.ch/2024/06/07/accountability-hope-gratitude.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Did the dumbest thing and reset my homescreen on my iPhone. What a mess. A massive belated spring cleaning under way. Nos stays. Threads? Ehhhh…. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb I haven’t been to a punk show in a while, let alone one at 9:30 in the morning. It was of course, all ages—and my Childe’s school Spring Pre-K/Kindergarten concert. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb https://image.nostr.build/ee159377230073e217c3c38f0ea486ffa8b9a2dc946ce51fdf2cbd8334c19a0f.jpg npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb I do want more aggressive antitrust action from the Department of Justice, including in the industry’s Apple is in, and possibly against Apple itself with well-crafted, technical and market literate arguments, if applicable… but calling Apple a monopoly still seems like a stretch. This DoJ action seems lik... dcdispat.ch https://dcdispat.ch/2024/03/21/i-do-want.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb I’ve been knocked on my ass a bit this week, and it’d probably be better for my mental and physical health to not consume SOTU coverage, but, bless the anti-genocide demonstrators who seemed to force a motorcade detour on the way to the Capitol tonight. It barely counts as close, but this is the closest I... dcdispat.ch https://dcdispat.ch/2024/03/07/ive-been-knocked.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb [Before we put these questions to a sperm whale unit, we’d have to think hard about whether we’d act on the answers. Kristin Andrews told me a heartbreaking story about a chimpanzee named Bruno who was taught sign language at the University of Oklahoma. Bruno was encouraged to build his whole life around the practice of asking humans for things. But after a few years, the scientists’ grant ran out and he was transferred to a different facility. When one of the lab’s scientists visited him there, he was distressed to see that Bruno seemed upset. He kept signing Key and Out. The scientist had taught th... dcdispat.ch https://dcdispat.ch/2024/02/26/before-we-put.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb I pay for Apple News+ partly because the ad experience is better than the open web. If it weren’t for that, I’d prefer Apple just be a payments middleman negotiating micropayments on the open web. It could be a better walled garden—give me Books features like highlights and notes! npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb A sigh of relief. I think I have a backlog of something on the order of 15,000 suspended sighs of relief—that is, breaths held—but I let that one rip. And gulped in a new one for the Supreme Court appeal to come. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb To be fair, I am worried when I see hashtags on my tictacs. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Remembering, and onward https://dcdispat.ch/2024/01/12/remembering-and-onward.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb State of the World 2024: Ritual and Solidarity https://dcdispat.ch/2024/01/02/state-of-the.html npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Finally! npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Adjourned to the porch. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Shame on The Guardian. They took the coward’s way. They could have done the work of linking or adding the context they suddenly feared was missing. Meanwhile, these words, whatever each of us make of them, will only proliferate more—Barbra in full effect. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Far up the river, 22 years ago, daydreaming and looking out the window “that’s not how you land at Albany,” or a thought to that effect. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb My own identity is federated (as well as idle or abandoned and isolated) across many networks and platforms. I feel like some sort of social web equivalent of a vector analysis diagram might reveal a true center, or destination I suppose. Some notional node between the nodes. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Still cranking on teaching myself SwiftUI. I don’t think I’m about to become an iOS developer, but I like to understand how other people sweat. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Not bad for a Michelin bib happy hour in an world capital. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb For the first time in years (due to a combination of pandemic, job obligations, and new parenthood) there was a thing to go see/join, observe as a photographer - a news thing, a street thing - a thing I could actually go to: The brouhaha outside the federal courthouse about 20 blocks west of me as Trump got indicted for trying to overturn the election… and this would be the sort of thing where I’d throw my ol’ dSLR over my shoulder and make pictures and just see it for myself. npub1nna864c27hw7r4umga4v9j94gwcewqr964yg7nvxlteuxnqk0ccs0l3t00 mjb Hello, world! Again.
