I am using something called `pywebview`, which was really nice to use as I developed on my MacBook Pro. Sadly, it is maddening to get working properly on Linux. I may have to completely re-engineer it. Boo.

After building a PoC for my digital movie poster, I’ve been enhancing it with features, including a animated multi-poster view, remote control, and a “now playing” screen for when I am watching on Apple TV, playing on my Steam PC, etc.

My heart so badly wants to see meaningful changes; for us to acknowledge and protect fundamental human rights like healthcare, housing, and safety from gun violence. My head says it will never happen, because our culture is broken and has been from the start.

So, when I hear a politician say “we are better than this” after each and every mass shooting or medical bankruptcy, I disagree. We aren’t better than this… this is precisely who we are down to our core and it’s incredibly sad.

This is why I have come to the conclusion that we don’t have a politics problem, we have a culture problem. We won’t be able to make much-needed changes like universal healthcare, universal basic income, and strict gun control unless we change the culture.

The American ethos prioritizes individuals over the welfare our citizens as a whole. “One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.” Liberty and justice in this context means individual freedom to the vast majority of Americans.

Was reflecting on the American ethos last night. While I love living here, that’s a result of my privilege. When I hear politicians say “we’re better than this,” they’re wrong. Our country was founded on individual freedom by white Christian men. It shows.
