- Comment on Omarchy distro gains serious backing 1 month ago:
Note that two of the twelve founding patrons are DHH himself and his other 37Signals cult leader Jason Fried.
There are two “distinguished” corporate sponsors. One of those is also 37Signals.
So that’s 10 of DHH’s soulless friends he got to agree to give him $1 million for his little pet project.

Yes it is!
Apparently it’s a still from the 1981 TV miniseries The Mansions of America.

- Comment on Hawaii Democratic House candidate faces felony threat charges after beach fight caught on video 2 months ago:
Note that pretty much only the worst news sources are covering this right now and are intentionally using a misleading “Democratic house candidate” headline.
Honolulu Civil Beat is the only honest source so far who put “longshot” into the title.
This guy has been arrested three times this year and has restraining orders. He was never an actual “candidate.”
Several people have taken out temporary restraining orders against him, including Maui County Council member Thomas Cook, who said he was worried about his personal safety and for his staff after Basin disrupted a meeting in May.
Cook said Basin “became aggressive and confrontational” and “threatened violence against the police” and a council ambassador.
Two days later, on May 29, reports circulated that Basin “brandished a weapon in a county office building in a confrontation with county employees.”
That was in May.
