| One of the most surreal things about the descent into corporatocracy | |
| and fascism is how willing a large part of society is to let it happen. | |
| People aren't just rolling over either, they're actively inviting the | |
| fascists to take over. LinkedIn is more deranged than ever with all the | |
| "Elon is a genius" and "Trump knows business best" takes. It's | |
| definitely infuriating but it's also extremely disheartening. You think | |
| you know someone, and then you see what sort of lunacy they like on | |
| social media. | |

| It's been a while since I've written anything here. | |
| This is just a test to jog my memory a bit. | |

| I wanted to get back into cycling but didn't expect to give running | |
| a shot again anytime soon. Well, here I am, running! Granted it | |
| isn't happening fast or for very long, but it's a huge step up from | |
| zero running. | |

| It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that what I am trying to | |
| do for myself is to "disconnect from the internet". That's not really | |
| true. The internet is wonderful and I want to participate in a lot | |
| of what it has to offer. I do want to remove myself from the | |
| corporate internet; that is, the dystopia of web apps that track | |
| you as you navigate the web. Like the tools that promise the | |
| world but quickly attempt to monetize your activity and forsake | |
| some or all of the things that made them worth using. Or media apps | |
| that force feed you mediocre "content" created by people just to | |
| serve the underlying algorithm. | |

| Today I'm making pizza. This is something that I love doing and | |
| it's something that I obsess over. The pizza I'm making today | |
| is Detroit style, square pan pizza, which is great, but I do also | |
| love eating and making other styles. I want to say that I also | |
| make a killer NY style pizza, but who knows. All I know is that it | |
| is a fun hobby, the food tastes good, and bread makes everyone | |
| happy. | |

| I live with a dog named Gobi.She's a delightfully energetic and affectionate | |
| miniature schnauzer. As I write this she's lazing peacefully on the couch, flank | |
| waiting for the Giro d'Italia to start for the day. The tour is over, Tadej Poga | |
| has won (with a beastly 10 minute lead), this 21st stage is the ceremonial ride | |
| into Rome. | |

| I think I've been ruminating a bit too much, but maybe this | |
| resonates with other people out there as well. The internet | |
| used to feel like a place that you explored. It felt like a | |
| place that reacted to your actions and your intentional behaviour. | |
| You would seek out things to read, see, and do. At least that's | |
| what it felt like to me as a kid. | |
