“Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong'. Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.”― Charlie Schultz
The H-1B visa program was originally intended to bring in foreign workers only when Americans aren’t available. Instead, corporations have exploited it to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor.
I’m urging the Department of Labor to raise the wage floors that make this abuse profitable. When the financial incentive disappears, so does the scheme.

"Wow Microsoft, this is incredibly reassuring! 😍 Finally admitting you won't sue researchers for finding bugs you shipped is peak 2026 generosity. Truly the cybersecurity equivalent of 'we promise not to waterboard you for pointing out the house is on fire.'We all feel so valued now. Please, take your time fixing those zero-days they had to drop." -- Grok
PewDiePie releasing a local based LLM agent to compete with ChatGPT and OpenClaw was not on my bingo card for 2026:
What is Odysseus?

Built because he got tired of janky self-hosting setups and giving data to big tech.
In 1975, in Seward, Nebraska, a furniture dealer Harold Davisson decided to leave his descendants a tangible portrait of his era: A Chevy Vega buried in his backyard!
He refused to trust the future with a few boxes of keepsakes. Harold Davisson of Seward, Nebraska, built something far larger: a 45-ton concrete vault sunk into his own backyard and packed with more than five thousand ordinary objects from 1975.
At the center of it all sat a brand-new Chevrolet Vega, the cheapest model he could buy. He chose it on purpose. It was the plain, unremarkable car that millions of ordinary Americans drove every day.
Davisson sealed the vault on July 4, 1975, with one clear order: do not open until July 4, 2025.
Two years later the Guinness Book of World Records declared it the largest time capsule ever made.
In 1983 he added a second layer of protection above the buried vault, a solid concrete pyramid. Inside that pyramid he placed a worn
Toyota Corolla that had already lived ten hard years on the road, a deliberate contrast to the untouched Vega resting safely below.
Davisson died in 1999. He never saw his creation opened.
On June 26, 2025, his daughter Trish Davisson Johnson began the excavation. It took six hours of heavy work to cut through the concrete and finally free the vault from its half-century tomb.
When the dust settled and daylight reached inside for the first time in fifty years, the Chevy Vega looked as if time itself had stopped. Its bright yellow paint was still vivid. The body was clean and intact.
A license plate reading “2025” sat on the bumper. The odometer read zero miles.
Beside the car stood a Kawasaki motorcycle, thousands of personal letters and messages from the people of Seward, small lucky charms and keepsakes, and one unforgettable aquamarine leisure suit covered in yellow flowers, a perfect frozen example of 1970s style and spirit.
Hundreds of people traveled from across the country to stand at the edge of the open vault and look back through a window that had been sealed for half a century.
What Davisson had intended as a private gift for his grandchildren became something larger: a direct, unbroken passage into the texture of everyday American life in the 1970s.
A fragment of ordinary days, preserved in concrete and darkness until the light found it again.
