I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Thinking of service professionals as part of your community & not your staff is a lost value (& skill frankly) for too many. Gotta sit everyone down & make them watch the Sesame Street “These are the people in your neighborhood” song w/their eyeballs preyed open like a clockwork orange.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

My favorite typo was the many times “pubic schools,” “pubic libraries” and the like appeared in our newspapers’ archive back in my journalism days.

This collection of campaign signs in my neighbors’ front yard really underscores the value of designers understanding typographic hierarchy.
Trio of signs in a front yard. Two are for Ohio Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, with their names in large type. The third says “Hitler” at the top in large type, with a bulleted list that compares his actions to President Trump. Unfortunately, from afar, it appears to be a Hitler campaign sign.

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

This late-Friday news from Novartis regarding Horizon, its pelacarsen trial, is a real gut-punch. I survived a heart attack at 41, and have spent the last four years as a Horizon participant. I had so much hope for this. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/s...

Today I led a group of 10 Cub Scouts in making sunprints. It was 92° with 1000% humidity and the 8- and 9-year-olds had the focus of caffeinated gnats and sweat poured from me like a gajillion mini Niagaras, soaking my clothes and dripping onto their art. That was 6 hours ago; I’ve nearly recovered.

On the subject of Dolly’s union/working class solidarity, her 9 to 5 LP included Woody Guthrie’s ´Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’, a protest song about the racist mistreatment & media coverage of exploited Mexican farm workers who died when the plane deporting them crashed in 1948.
