Yesterday, the Supreme Court acted on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in a decision that overruled the court’s previous ruling on Roe v. Wade. For context, Dobbs v. Jackson…was a case on a Mississippi state law that banned abortion operations after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. My understanding of this decision is that … Continue reading “Why I Believe the Supreme Court Ruled Incorrectly”

Hi, it’s me, Andrew. The guy who runs this blog. The guy who has been pretty bad about updating this blog. Ugh. Since it’s the end of the month, I figured this would be a good time for a “monthly” check in. I haven’t done this since January…alright. Enough self-shame. Let’s get into it.  Health … Continue reading “May 2022 Check-In”

Elon bought Twitter If that makes you sad then you should Tweet on a blog

I kick around this idea, “is the internet broken?”, in my mind quite a bit.I’m still working on it but my general thought is “no, but our relationship with social media is”.

I think it’s important to take the time to reflect on things that were good, things that were bad, and things that one may want to change moving forward. I find Dave Rupert’s recaps to be very … Continue reading “2021 in Review”

I’m going to shamelessly steal an idea from Dave Rupert and David Walsh and do a bit of a vibe check. This one will be more of a downer but let’s get the negative vibes out of the way and then I’ll talk about some more exciting stuff. COVID-19 This week we passed the one … Continue reading “Vibe Check Vol. 1”

Yesterday, Twitter banned Trump. The current President is no longer welcome to post on Twitter. He’s suspended from Facebook until the end of his term. I think he’s at least suspended from YouTube. Platforms have seen enough. They are throwing in the towel. Showing him the red card.  If you dig around Twitter enough you’ll … Continue reading “Complaining about censorship on social media platforms? Make a website.”
