Here we are at the start of another month. Time for another #HivePowerUpDay celebration as soon as this goes live! In my previous such post, I wrote, "expect continued intermittent content." That happened. I also stated an intention to post more on INLEO. More? Yes. Enough? I have no idea, but feel free to browse my nonsense there.

- February Retrospective and March Plans, as noted above, was the last regular monthly installment.
- Good Engagement, Bad Engagement was an attempt to encourage better blogger behavior.
- Scattered Thoughts Near Midnight was a smattering of life, politics, and a music video.
- Four Long Years reminisced about life pre-COVID and pre-hardfork while remembering the rising tension preceding both.
- Unintended Consequences: When Environmental Policy Backfires explored the conflict between political intervention and economic complexity.
- The Ides of March: LEO PUD marked the LEO Power Up Day while referencing Roman history and recommending a podcast.
- "Experts" Full of Nonsense covered the US gun control debate with an example of dishonesty from the proponents of greater regulation.
- Inflation, Record Profits, and Corporate Greed was posted with payout declined because it basically copied someone else's illustration of how "record profits" cannot be shown as the root cause of systemic price inflation, and are instead arguably just another piece of evidence money is being devalued and markets are being distorted by economic intervention.
- Heritage Boots and Shoes: An Ongoing Journey is an update about my Red Wing Iron Rangers and a review of some new Jim Green shoes.
- Reflections of Four Years Past once again looks back at COVID and how little connection the narrative had on observable reality as "two weeks to flatten the curve" came and went.
Two more posts than last month, if I tracked it properly. Progress! I feel like this had an imbalance toward serious topics. What do you think, though? I'd still prefer to post more than every 3rd day on average.
That said, April looks like a mess. My offline life will interrupt my posting routine, such as it is, even more than usual. I also may not even be able to curate much for a while. I have already been increasing my Hive Power delegations so my stake doesn't stay stagnant. So far, I have thrown a lot of weight behind @DIYhub, @Ecency, @LEO.voter, and @StickUpCurator, plus a bit of backing for @Curie and @DustBunny. I am open to suggestions for who else I could to support during my downtime. If you know a project that needs a 10K HP delegation for a while, please comment! I may not respond promptly, but I'll keep an eye out as best I can.
It's April Fools Day! I'm already pretty preoccupied with offline stuff, so... I dunno. Pick one, roll dice, I don't care.
- Screw HIVE! I'm gonna switch to BLURT. That's where the real action is.
- Firefly was over-rated, and Andromeda was obviously the superior sci-fi TV show, because five seasons can't be wrong.
- I'm only sad about the 2024 Trump/Biden rematch because I want to see them both win.
- Justin Sun did nothing wrong, and I'm going back to Steemit.
- The movie is always better than the book. Especially Eragon.
- Taxation is just the price we pay to live in a civilized society.
Oh, wait, the US government is already trying to pull that one again this month. Now repeat after me: "It isn't racketeering or terrorism when governments do it, because the governments said so, and questions are treason."
