# Liberals in the US rightly criticize MAGA folk as being delusional in regards to the truth of Trump. But when I see those same liberals praising Biden while ignoring his ongoing support of genocide in Gaza I feel the deepest disgust. History will remember Biden for his role in genocide.

Why Aren't You In The Hague!: Journalists Dragged Out Of Blinken Press Conference

# Reading folks' thoughts and reactions to the wildfires and connecting it to climate. I can't help but think most people are still pretty delusional about where we are at in this crisis and our chances for averting worst case scenarios. And, crucially, their lack of understanding of the steps we need to take. Uninformed and not at all serious.

# I really enjoyed reading James Thompson's blog post about building the first pre-OS X Dock. Fun story and bit of Apple history. Also, Jason Snell's MacWorld article about OS X back in February 2000 where he highlights all of the big changes that were announced. I'm sure I read it back in the day, fun to re-read today on the 25th anniversary of the MacWorld reveal of OS X. I remember the excitement of the announcement and then installing the public beta. Good times.

# Watched the ForeverNotes videos on YouTube and considering trying it out as a supplement to the OBTF that I've been happily using the past 9 months for a basic daily notes that primarily serves as a springboard for blog posting.

"In November, over a year into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a report by the Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management produced a grim statistic: “Nearly all children in the embattled Palestinian enclave believe their death is imminent — and nearly half of them want to die.”

That's interesting.

# "What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass."
