Once you understand that Donny Dictator is a lifelong adherent of Norman Vincent Peale you understand that his aggrandizement is more than just a bulling tactic but, in fact, his religion. His self-belief is the very foundation of his faith. He is his God, as he was raised to believe.
We’ve instituted Small Project Sundays once again at our house. My wife writes about today’s here (a cleanup of the front hallway closet).
On view October 4, 2026, through January 31, 2027, it marks the first major New York presentation devoted to either artist in more than 20 years, introducing their work to a new generation while reassessing their enduring impacts on modern and contemporary art.
This is a once, maybe twice, in a lifetime exhibit of two of my favorite artists. You better believe I’ll be seeing this.
Today’s non-sequitur: Grits and eggs take me back to childhood every time. This Tornado Loves You by Neko Case makes so much more sense when you know her personal story. Loud voices are best countered with quiet responses.
Research…
Fifteen years ago, we started work on the Dark Sky weather app.
Over the years it went through numerous iterations — including more than one major redesign — as we worked our way through the process of learning what makes a great weather app. Eventually, in time, it was acquired by Apple, where the forecast and some core features were incorporated into Apple Weather.
We enjoyed our time at Apple. So why did we leave to start another weather company?
I’m not a weather app guy but there’s some very thoughtful work happening here.
We’re six weeks into 2026, and there have already been six campus shootings this year, with five dead and three injured. I don’t want my daughter’s school on this list — but then, I don’t want ANY more schools on this list. It’s time to stop pretending this is ok.
What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis
I understand that spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis is not real perspective. But it brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.
“War” is the operative word here.
I need people not here to understand… There has been no “drawdown”, that was a ruse to get the news cycle to move along. This describes the conditions we are living under now.
