How adorable. AI eliminates jobs, billionaires own the machines, and we’re all supposed to find joy gardening? With what land? What income? Who pays for housing, food, healthcare? Automation without economic restructuring isn’t liberation. It’s feudalism with better technology.
Yeah, that’s insane. I keep my work nonpartisan too. Seems like the climate these days is to force people to take a public position via coercion. Disgusting behavior.

A text sent to my stepfather named me, disclosed my 2024 voting status, and told him to make his “entire household” vote. That is not a neutral reminder. It uses one person’s civic record and a family relationship to pressure another person’s political participation.
D.S. Nelson retweeted
Whether a person voted may be publicly accessible. That does not give an unknown sender a free pass to expose that status to a family member and use it as leverage. A person’s decision not to vote is not consent to be singled out, reported on, or pressured through someone else.
D.S. Nelson retweeted
The sender signed only “YourVote.” Who authorized this text? What source supplied the household link? What safeguards prevent voter data from being used this way? @FCC @TX_Ethics: identify the responsible sender and address this practice. Public records are not permission for coercive targeting.
WTF? I’m seeing weird ads about how your voting record is “public” too. What is up with this crap? I almost never talk about politics. It’s too toxic now. But these kinds of tactics are unAmerican.
Work is an excellent product when its tools actually function, but these repeated failures are seriously disrupting development.
We need more than temporary fixes. We need sustained reliability and some transparency about what’s causing these failures.
.@OpenAI, any idea when Work will have reliable access to its tools and execution environment again?
It’s been functionally unusable all day, forcing me to execute my software build through significantly slower workarounds.
This has become a recurring problem for months.
This seriously HAS to stop. I'm right in the middle of a build. It's a great product... When it actually WORKS.

Cross-disciplinary warfare now has a firing range.
Bring your hardest claim. Strip off the credentials. Defend the arrow. Break mine too.
Could you have lost?

This is not a governmental system and does not claim governmental authority.
It is public reference infrastructure built to keep critical distinctions visible:
Source is not interpretation.
Evidence is not authority.
Capability is not permission.
A proposal is not an admission.
A decision is not a consequential effect.

Today I released the National Constitutional Execution Reference Framework.
Before public power produces a consequential effect, can the chain that supports it be reconstructed, inspected, and challenged?
Source → office → jurisdiction → delegation → evidence → admission → execution → effect → provenance

—There Is No Unbelief—
There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see it push away the clod—
He trusts in God.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky,
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by and
by,'
Trusts the Most High.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever sees 'neath winter's field of
snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow—
God's power must know.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever says “tomorrow,” “the un-
known,”
"The future," trusts the power alone
He dares disown.
There is no unbelief;
The heart that looks on when the eyelids
close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
God's comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
For thus by day and night unconsciously The heart lives by that faith the lips deny,
God knoweth why!
—Elizabeth York Case.
Same. I can't even get down my stairs anymore and its even more difficult trying to get back up so I stopped trying to force movement I'm incapable of. Not sure that's good but its where I'm at these days. Pretty much fully bed-bound now.
I try to cultivate that more than anything. Physical beauty can be so fleeting. But that inner beauty shows on the outside too and that’s part of what makes one attractive. I’ve seen “beautiful” people who were put together well on the outside but their insides made them hideous.
We all wish that. But you’re still just as beautiful now as you were then. If you can cultivate beauty on the inside, no matter what the world does to you, then you’re doing better than many manage to do these days.
