Just in case I haven’t made my feelings clear lately on the current United States of America administration, I shall blog. It’s the little things that make me think Donald Trump is a vindictive prick who, among his catalog of things he hates, is Black people. For instance, he’s chosen to change what days are […]

The Knicks are on an epic losing streak. This feels very normal. Let the trades begin. Maybe if we ask nice, Thibs will return? And isn't it funny these days KAT makes Randle look pretty good. Sort of a bonus for the Minneapolis team, which is playing NBA in a war zone.
Time for Knicks fans to get out the paper bags.The guy in the lower right of that picture has the canonical look of a Knicks fan wondering when it will all end.

After Google Reader, folks asked me about building an open API for feed syncing, given my history with Tweet Marker. I didn’t work on it because I wanted to focus on indie microblogging. But it was inevitable that eventually Micro.blog would have something. Like Apple having both Pages and Numbers.
The Iconfactory is out with a new Kickstarter campaign! Nice pitch:
We all need a way to unplug from time to time - the world’s gone off the rails and no amount of doomscrolling is fixing it. That’s one of the reasons we created Ollie’s Arcade - to be a pixelated place to take refuge from the real world and enjoy some simple, fun old-school arcade games on your iPhone or iPad.

Over the last year I’ve become hyper-sensitive to extremism. The lesson from Trumpism should be to do the opposite of whatever he does. Less hate, less judgement, less bullying. More empathy. I’m hopeful that whoever picks up leadership of the Democratic party will understand this. 🇺🇸

Matt Mullenweg blogged about Scott Adams, trying to reconcile good memories of Dilbert with later racist comments:
When I was younger, I used to have a more binary view of people, but as I’ve grown, read a ton of biographies, seen the press cycles, and been lucky enough to meet some idols and villains, I’ve become much more comfortable taking everyone as a flawed human being.
