Hiatus over…maybe? I wasn't in a good place on December 24th last year. So I decided I was going to retreat from the (social media) world. I had left Twitter a couple of years ago, and it really didn't affect me all that much. So I did the same for all other social media, except for the very rare post on Facebook. If I had anything to say, I'd say it here on my own website. https://doamm.com/2026/01/01/hiatus-over-maybe/

So…I spoke to my wife last night… For a lot of you, that's not an unusual sentence. But little in my life is "usual." I haven't spoken to my wife in almost five years. We're separated. I've seen her several times around town but never talked to her. I think she spotted me a couple of times but she never approached me either. But yesterday, I was feeling a little bit good about myself and I just wanted to say hi and tell her I hoped she was doing well and that I missed…...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@KingShawn/117258087196818447 Been thinking about this. Maybe I&#39;m just trying to justify it. Yes - it’s a ridiculous price for a phone. But for me, it&#39;s NOT “just a phone.&quot; Hell, I use the phone features the least. It&#39;s my second best camera and the one I *always* have with me. It&#39;s what I use to communicate to 99% of my friends/family. It&#39;s what I use to get 90% of my news/information. It&#39;s my GPS, music p...

Wait…did Arment just make a blog post that is effectively, “I wish I could continue to stick my head in the sand and not know what others think, thereby absolving me of the responsibility to have to deal with their actions”? This from a guy who *constantly* tells us what he thinks about any number of things. "I can’t help but feel that maybe we were better off before we knew everyone’s hot takes on everything.” OK Marco…you first. STFU and shut down your blog. https://marco.org/2026/09/...

“GOP senator to introduce bill to sanction Canada over wildfire smoke” Good luck with that… “The lawmakers threatened that the United States may send its agencies into Canada to manage the problem if Canadian officials don't address it more vigorously.” Like fuck you will. This ain’t Venezuela, asshole…

I hate Ryan Gosling… I just wanted to say that upfront. I think he's a boring actor with zero emotional range (BTW, I think the same of Keanu Reeves but I actually like Reeves' movies). I generally avoid Gosling's movies unless there's someone or something else compelling in it. In the case of Project Hail Mary, the premise (as shown in the trailers) was good enough for me to swallow my hatred of Gosling and watch the movie last night. https://doamm.com/2026/04/12/i-hate-ryan-g...

“U.S. Rejects Vote to Recognize Slavery as a ‘Crime Against Humanity’” &quot;Dan Negrea, a U.S. representative to the U.N.’s Economic and Social Council, accused the sponsors of questioning President Trump’s support for Black voters in the United States. “President Trump has done more for Black Americans than any other president,” he said.” Oh….fuck ALL the way off… https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/world/africa/un-slave-trade-vote-us-ghana-israel.html?campaign_id=9&amp;emc=edit_nn_2...

@gedeonm@mastodon.social @christianselig@mastodon.social It's sad/funny how often that happens. I got banned for life in similar circumstances a few years ago. Their loss. :)
