- It seems as if there’s a new apartment building going up every time I head downtown, so it’s good to see the economic data indicating the positive benefits. Every new unit in downtown Raleigh is one less family moving to the suburbs and adding to the sprawl. I’m here for the change.

- As a kid in the ‘80s I loved all these characters. I think I just happened to be at the right age to not question whether these were they were authentic. It was a developmental suspension of disbelief. Now I find characters like this corny, but I still have nostalgia for Pee-wee and Macho Man.

- There is something deeply troubling in the American psyche that extends all the way into the federal government. “He told me he likes seeing me on TV” is the language of a person in an abusive relationship. These are men at the top of the world who are desperate to feel loved.
- Reposted by Aloysius, MichaelTrump has effectively launched the U.S. into war without congressional approval, without a declaration, and entirely on impulse. Call your Congressperson and demand Congress to speak out and to take immediate action to stop the U.S. from entering a full-scale war.
- I’ve been experimenting with making giant ice cubes for drinks. This one was too big and I had to trim it down to fit in a rocks glass.

- One of the things I hate about the trump era is these constant red herrings. Every day there is a new topic on which we must express an opinion. The issue is always of low importance and distracts us from what matters. All the chatter around the topic of the day is more noise. This time it’s flags.

- This is how I’ve felt since January 6th. I still have strong ideological convictions, but they are superseded by my support for democracy, the rule of law, and basic respect for human dignity. If I’m willing to sacrifice humans, my ideology has become an idol.
- Everyone is dunking on this take from Chatterton Williams and seems to be having a good time doing so. I think this highlights the trouble with political dialog, particularly on Bluesky.

- Back in my web developer days I took a stand against adding one of these useless checkboxes to the company website. I won the battle, but eventually lost the job.

- Reposted by Aloysius, MichaelThe lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.
- It’s Friday, but I’m trapped at my desk for the day and there’s rain in the forecast. Here’s a picture of my GS laying in the dirt. #Motosky #BMWMotorrad #Pinksky #ADVRider

- “Shows just how important it is that leaders are held up to regular scrutiny” is particularly egregious. I would like some semblance of intellectual honesty from the political class.
- Reposted by Aloysius, MichaelAmerica cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
- “CBO estimates that household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP (see the figure).”
