I finished reading Burn Book today and loved it! It’s given me a lot to think about ethics in tech as I reflect on my time working at a couple of startups.

I’m not a fan of bathroom selfies, and this may be my first, but it was important to capture both sides of my shirt. Heading to the protest & march today! #NoKings #Resist

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

TOMORROW is MAY DAY (5/1/25): The latest in our ongoing PROTESTS!
FIGHT to protect the country from the chaos of one dangerously unstable man.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Motherfucker

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A political cartoon by Slyngstad, dated 2025, depicts a man wearing a red "MAGA" hat sitting at a desk, looking concerned. He has a beard and is speaking, with a speech bubble that reads: "I was okay with the anti-trans stuff, demonizing immigrants, the gay bashing, sexism toward women, rounding people up off the street because of their skin color, all the other outright racism, but now I'm starting to think this could affect me." In front of him is a computer monitor displaying a graph with a downward-trending red line and the headline "MARKETS IN FREE-FALL."

It’s sadly accurate.

I don’t want to exaggerate my powers of prediction but I posted this ten years ago:

Last full day in Arizona! We escaped the Escape Room in Scottsdale, had a huge prime rib dinner, and watched The Gorge tonight. Also played silly, made up bar games tonight. Very fun way to end the long weekend!

Another great day in Paradise Valley! Thin pancakes for breakfast, souvenir shopping in Old Town Scottsdale, fancy teppanyaki dinner, then we watched the SNL 50th anniversary special. Good times!

Been enjoying the long weekend with family in Paradise Valley, AZ! Much warmer than the snowy & icy PNW we left behind. Had a great time at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday and playing chapter 1 of Escape the Crate.

Monday’s view

Wednesday’s grim view

My icy walk down the hill Thur morning where my colleague could pick me up and drive us the rest of the way

Last week so so weird at work! School was cancelled Mon-Wed for snow days then Thur was a 3-hour delay for inclement weather. I’m looking forward to a more normal week at work tomorrow.

Not watching the Super Bowl today but I will be checking score updates to see if I get lucky on my pool. 🤞

Good one. Hey, Legacy media... paying attention????

Had an amazing 4-day weekend in San Jose! We had a late Christmas getaway celebration at the Chaminade Resort in Santa Cruz and then celebrated Dennis’ birthday last night. Flying home now on a very empty plane. 💪

It’s my Friday!! Excited to celebrate Lunar New Year in class today then I’m flying to San Jose tomorrow for a long & relaxing weekend 😎

Trump is trying to bully our allies Canada, Colombia, Denmark, and Panama, threatening tariffs if they don't do what he says.

Really?

What about imposing tariffs on drug companies that charge us 10 times more than other countries pay for the same drug?

Finally reading “One Life,” the biography of Sir Nicholas Winton and how he saved hundreds of children during WWII. This short passage stood out and made me sad that we are repeating history.

Heeding Trump, Air Force won't teach recruits about Tuskegee Airmen A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum this week.

The Air Force will stop teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen after an order from Donald Trump.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black US military pilots and excelled in combat during World War II.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.

That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

Had a great book club meeting yesterday discussing "On Tyranny" by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. I'd like to encourage everyone to follow lesson #2 - Defend Institutions. Get a paid subscription to your local newspaper. We need good journalism based in facts to get us through tomorrow and beyond.
