One of the most surreal things about the descent into corporatocracy
and fascism is how willing a large part of society is to let it happen.
People aren't just rolling over either, they're actively inviting the
fascists to take over. LinkedIn is more deranged than ever with all the
"Elon is a genius" and "Trump knows business best" takes. It's
definitely infuriating but it's also extremely disheartening. You think
you know someone, and then you see what sort of lunacy they like on
social media.

It's been a while since I've written anything here.
This is just a test to jog my memory a bit.

I wanted to get back into cycling but didn't expect to give running
a shot again anytime soon. Well, here I am, running! Granted it
isn't happening fast or for very long, but it's a huge step up from
zero running.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that what I am trying to
do for myself is to "disconnect from the internet". That's not really
true. The internet is wonderful and I want to participate in a lot
of what it has to offer. I do want to remove myself from the
corporate internet; that is, the dystopia of web apps that track
you as you navigate the web. Like the tools that promise the
world but quickly attempt to monetize your activity and forsake
some or all of the things that made them worth using. Or media apps
that force feed you mediocre "content" created by people just to
serve the underlying algorithm.

Today I'm making pizza. This is something that I love doing and
it's something that I obsess over. The pizza I'm making today
is Detroit style, square pan pizza, which is great, but I do also
love eating and making other styles. I want to say that I also
make a killer NY style pizza, but who knows. All I know is that it
is a fun hobby, the food tastes good, and bread makes everyone
happy.

I live with a dog named Gobi.She's a delightfully energetic and affectionate
miniature schnauzer. As I write this she's lazing peacefully on the couch, flank
waiting for the Giro d'Italia to start for the day. The tour is over, Tadej Poga
has won (with a beastly 10 minute lead), this 21st stage is the ceremonial ride
into Rome.

I think I've been ruminating a bit too much, but maybe this
resonates with other people out there as well. The internet
used to feel like a place that you explored. It felt like a
place that reacted to your actions and your intentional behaviour.
You would seek out things to read, see, and do. At least that's
what it felt like to me as a kid.
