Building Pipelines & Pondering the Divine. Catholic father chasing beauty in my work (DevOps engineer) history, poetry, and liturgy

These are the words every proud generation spoke in their day before hurtling off the precipice into cataclysmic history.

What amazing fortune To be 1 of the 100 billion homo sapiens sapiens that have ever lived And to be alive at this the moment of the great inflection Not to be 1 of 50 billion that died of mosquito borne disease Nor to be 1 of 30 billion that died before age 5 Nor 1 of 10 billion…

"The Ballad of the White Horse" is the epic and battle cry for the men of our age. 'The sky grows darker yet And the sea rises higher.'

I don’t get why the Spartans didn’t just let the Persians into Sparta? Think of how strong Sparta would’ve been if it was a million Persians. Think of the GDP.


It is evident that our nation is profoundly imbalanced. We once sought equilibrium among the rule of one, the few, and the many, yet we now reside firmly under the dominion of the few, an oligarchy. Should the masses overthrow this elite, we risk descending into mob rule—a pure…

It's politically stupid of Trump to say we don't have talent here. Of course we do. But I wish conservatives wouldn't be so defensive about this. In my 15 years in software development, the Chinese and Indian programmers were far more talented (and hard-working) on average than…

The first political party that makes it possible to buy a house and raise a family on *one income* will rule America for the next 50 years.

At least we don't have the excesses of religion anymore right? I'd much rather a blob of narcissists with god complexes rule over me than a man who each week attends mass with his serfs, hears scripture and is extolled to practice humility and justice in hope of heaven and fear…

Fuedalism It’s called feudalism, but worse because the bank doesn’t have an obligation to protect you from Vikings

🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

It’s simple: Israel has become a proxy for the widespread outrage over our leaders working for interests other than the people who elected them. Israel is not the only interest they serve, but it’s become emblematic because of scenes like this, and because of the viciousness of…

I think it's idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts: 1) Scot Pressler, TPUSA, and a bunch of others have been working hard to register voters. I said it in 2022, and I've said it repeatedly since: our coalition is "lower propensity" and…

To avoid a repeat of last night’s shellacking in the 2026 midterms, Republicans should: quit covering for pedophiles put America before Israel put farmers before corporations quit funding wars abroad reduce spending to control inflation quit attacking independent voices


Everyone on here has seen the wars between different ethnicities and religions recently. I'm not sure they are totally unwarranted as people feel the underlying societal and cultural structures crumbling and therefore are retreating and finding communities which will share their…

Bring down costs. End identity politics.



WAR Eye for an eye While both sides lie, Blood on the field Where both sides die. War on the mind While rich men grind, Hands of the poor In the chains they bind. Greed in the heart Of those who start, Calls for the young To play their part. War in the throats of the bleating…
