ever notice some of the most beautiful places in the world survived the collapse of a couple governments, and were overlooked places that were built up over time by the people themselves?

it feels like a time for restructuring foundations. for narrowing down what you care about, who gets to be in your life, and who gets your attention.

political lies follow a pattern. tell the partial truth about a problem, but lie about the cause, and offer your own increased power as the solution.

i was watching a video of the fat larping hippies in Salem Oregon who made a little model guillotine and took it to a city council meeting. they cant make it across the parking lot without needing a rest, but they think theyre going to round people up? not sure their revolution is gonna go the way they envision

i thought this would be fun to look through, but it actually bummed me out.

most of my radishes bolted and went to seed. but the flowers are pretty and the bees seem happy 🐝

the only plant i sow that makes me happy when it starts to wither and die

ive been thinking about how much i dislike the way NVK relates to the world, and how l have felt that way from our first interaction. i have also been thinking about how unlikely it is that he would intentionally backdoor his own products, and destroy his own life. Honestly, while i have thought he needed to be humbled, I have no desire to see him completely destroyed. but i think even more, ive concluded that people who lack compassion, even for their enemies, conflate accountability with self indulgence, and love the drug of enraged self righteousness, are a greater threat to the world than almost anything else.

@cuban how goes the bonsai? 🙂

@ben what i love about you is that you seem to do things for the love. and how well you do things, which is well, is an extension of that. such a valuable way of being 👍

i used to walk up post alley in the morning, and get coffee in Pike Place. occasionally at the first starbucks. but it wasnt until today that i looked down the coffee rabbit hole
