Building technology is not the most impactful thing that one can do. The most impactful thing one can do is give oneself to a greater purpose, and participate in the love of community. Those are the things that fill the human heart. Those are the things that are remembered. Those are the paths not taken that become regret on one’s deathbed. I say this, with all due respect.

I’m glad you’re finding your peace. And I’m sorry that requires that you keep so much space between you and everyone else. Some prefer the solitary life. But this is not how one builds a civilization. It is how one leaves it. View quoted note →

I am amused that the new right-wing CEOs — the champions of free speech from the censorious left — have given us a historical demonstration of just how big of a fraud the entire political atheistic of free speech warriorism was. It was just reactionary anti-leftism all along. Censorship was always okay to the right when it had the right targets. They’ve shown us this repeatedly throughout history. View quoted note →

Trump sorted the opportunists into plain view. They thought they'd won, so they took off the masks. Posted the receipts themselves. When the accounting comes, we won't need to dig.

I choose to come to the defense of Mr. Walz and his words.

On the uses of memory

Delusions of grandeur. View quoted note →

Rothbard and Hoppe’s rebranding of fascism under anarcho-capitalism, and managing to convince others that it’s a form of “libertarianism” and the propensity of so-called libertarians to go along with that, and hang out with these people and call them friends and colleagues is so insane the more I think about it.

I'm now pamphleteering. Hence, the new title style on Notes from the Circus

Because some things must be said.

The Crisis, No. 2

On the cynical and the craven

I try to find some moral balast in Payne’s spirit from across the centuries.

The Crisis, No. 1

On the lie that nothing can be done

Government employees. Corporate insiders. If you've seen corruption, favors, espionage—anything not on the level—now is the time to blow the whistle. The People need to know who the traitors are.

We heard them loud and clear. All ten of them.

Ten Shots

Tyrants, we're coming for you — The People.

There's children screaming in terror at one of the ICE detention camps in Texas.

Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).

I love how casually welcomed fascism is among people involved in Bitcoin and Nostr. It’s something to see. View quoted note →

I will not have it explained to me that overbearing liberal elites—as annoying as some of them are, we can all agree—excuse the bloodlust that some of my fellow Americans have for anyone who would stand in Trump's way. I cannot forgive such a thing. Sorry.

Every American should watch this and feel so fucking ashamed of themselves.
