Video maker in south Santa Clara County, Bay Area, CA. Cinematography, editing, motion graphics, and scoring are my favorite things to do in the production process.

Coffee, Democracy, Disc Golf, Podcasts, Burritos, dogs, and ADHD are all things that I like.

Sober. Except for the coffee.

@GottaLaff assuming this is DJT, it's wild to see people saying "the only reason it's going down in price is because the liberal deep state is controlling it". It is just one more conspiracy for people to latch on to.
(I think it was this article where I read it https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzEzMDY3MjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzE0NDQ5NTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MTMwNjcyMDAsImp0aSI6IjA3ZmFhNWEzLTA3ZmUtNDUxOS05NTMwLTdkNTkzNmI2Mjk3YyIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5LzIwMjQvMDQvMTQvdHJ1dGgtc29jaWFsLWludmVzdG9ycy1mYWl0aC10cnVtcC8ifQ.PdG9BfQBVldducfSOoFUjmFwJxX8BA-7IWRA9llnbOQ )

Is your timeline like mine, in that it's just absolute chaos? My theory is that I am just into too many things and follow a broad range of interesting folks who are all very enthusiastic about what they do, and also they are into many things and boost about those. It's such an awesome way to discover new things, ideas, people but my goodness it can be a lot, and it's often overwhelming for my brain to experience the feed.
Anyway what's new with you?

Kara Swisher sees herself as tech’s bold truth teller, but her new memoir shows how her close ties to its power players clouded her judgment.

As she tries to rewrite her story, Swisher can’t escape her role in ushering in the disaster Silicon Valley has become.

@parismarx my favorite line:
"Letting Swisher present herself as a tough reporter allows Silicon Valley to pretend it was being held to account this whole time — when really Swisher was along for the ride and bought into the tech determinist worldview guiding the industry."
