Annus Mirabilis: Dark Pattern (for Hal)

One of the most heartbreaking tableaus I’ve ever seen: a Fisher Price toy basketball hoop set up on the grass next to an unhoused family living in their car.

Dedicated to the memory of Hal Burgiss: Thank you for defending me and my work ethic, and for refusing to lie about me even at your own expense. You were the only person then who spoke the truth no matter what cost, and your wisdom guides me every day.
