Perhaps there are other methods of communications one might use. Just a thought.
and after a certain number of attempts to reach people, I consider them unreachable, at least not via that method of communication.
A gentle reminder: I only post here, as little as I can, in an attempt to potentially reach people who I think have lost their way, especially given the state of current events. I don't enjoy putting on the hazmat suit.

"Now more than ever, I think it's important to realize that we've given everyone a Gutenberg printing press that reaches every other human on the planet. At first blush, that sounds amazing. Wow, everybody can talk to everybody! But then the terror sets in: Oh, my God. Everybody can talk to everybody – this is a nightmare." writethatblog.substack.com/p…

This is so smart and generous @codinghorror!
Well done. Proud of you even though I don't know you 😊.

After years of pretending to be Democrats, Big Tech leaders are now pretending to be Republicans, in hopes of currying favor with the new administration. Beware of the scummy monopoly campaign to vilify competition law as they rip off consumers and crush competitors.

I wish we saw more of this sort of quiet, positive civic engagement from the tech industry.
I would pick different charities than @codinghorror did, and articulate a non-identical version of the American Dream, but as he points out, public-spiritedness itself matters the most.

I encourage you to write in public what your interpretation of the Dream is, and reference my post. I think we all have more in common than we original dream than realize, but it was never fully articulated and modernized over time.

It's funny how a quick phone call can turn into a fun 24hr turn around of a site!
Happy to refresh a really classic site for @codinghorror, based on the @Ghost Source theme.

OK, I'll set up the ebay auctions today for these brass plaques. This place is a total disaster, as predicted.
