Unwinding #20...
I'd planned to do what became this "Unwinding" sequence over a couple of months, but got carried away. Obviously. I don't know whether it's useful or useless. I hope it's helpful to someone. This final track is different, but perfect for its purpose... 💙

In the 2024 presidential election, 49.8% (Pew Research) of the 63.9% of eligible voters who turned out (CFR) voted for this narcopath, this little, little, little man.
Vote.

Hungarian communism also ended peacefully. So did the Brazilian military regime. And the Chilean dictatorship. That doesn't meant that the autocrats were democrats.
Found this profile description among some "likes":
"Elderly Tennessean. Right-handed but all the rest of me is left of center."

Beautiful. 🙏
"I found myself thinking most of Caroline Kennedy, whose daughter lay on her deathbed at the time, and I hoped that the president and his team would think better of this narcissistic scheme. But he went ahead with it."
Look for the item about "people who stopped taking precautions when our countries and communities 'opened up again and are now rethinking how to protect themselves" and another from a first responder describing how (and why) year *seven* of Covid is like a slow-rolling mass casualty incident ⬇️
First day as an infrastructure engineer at Bluesky. They let me put a piece of bologna in the CD drive and nothing bad has happened so far

I do not want to "take back tech".
I want something new to grow from the needs, utopias and desires that a community focused on a convivial life develops.
"Tech" as a social structure might not be salvageable.
Great to have @shehackspurple.bsky.social join me on the latest episode of "Smashing Security", where we talked about hackers targeting Venice's flood defence systems, Anthropic's latest exploits, and even some of our favourite TV shows..

I've been going back and forth between posting this trailer and a related mix video...and Bluesky's been a little weird today...so I hope this posts OK. Give this movie a shot. Seriously. It's one-of-a-kind. (Bonus rec: check out director Mélanie Laurent's other films, too.) youtu.be/gHUCscUnVHY?...
"The Trump administration has abruptly canceled a multimillion-dollar contract with a Catholic charity that houses and cares for migrant children amid the president’s feud with Pope Leo XIV."

counterpoint: forced offline time is good actually. maybe constant connection isn’t the way.
Trump's AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure, 2026
A painting by Gros, "Napoleon Bonaparte Visiting the Plague-Stricken at Jaffa," 1799
Two examples of Christian imagery serving as political propaganda, in 1799 and in 2026. (If the second image doesn't appear, click the "ALT" button at the bottom right corner.)
This village uses its solar income on free communal lunches, buses and other communal efforts.“If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected. People who didn’t know each other for years now get to know each other within days”
I love everything about this.

“When the coffee is cold L.M. says: These things have to happen sometimes. And she looks mysterious & important, as if as a matter of fact she had known all along that this was a cold coffee day.”

Also re the “improving” piece: you’re doing just fine👏👏👏👏👏
I’m super-busy but will get around to it. ☺️However, if stock’s low or whatever and you’d recommend that I do it today, I’ll make time for it. I should be back on a laptop this evening.💙 on my phone now and I hate texting 🙄😂
