Silly me for thinking the Raiders move to Vegas would help people learn how to pronounce Nevada.

Grocery store "security guard" today told my 8 y/o that they have a bad father because I wouldn't play the show my receipt on the way out game. Kid called him an idiot. I called him some other things. He did nothing. There was nothing he could do. Authoritarianism needs you to comply, don't.

I think the thing that bothers me most about Tom Brady is that his buddy Robert Kraft, like Donald Trump, is in the #epsteinfiles

Watching YouTube TV and I just saw what amounted to a Trump campaign ad that said "paid for by the US Government". I'm more pissed and disgusted with this country than I was three minutes ago.

Downloaded The Silmarillion to listen to while mowing the lawn. An hour later I understand why no one has ever recommended it to me. Also I probably should've mowed the lawn this morning when it was cooler.

I actually had a convo w/ a male coworker this week about improving workplace culture and being better men than the boomers we apprenticed under. Construction-adjacent so it's a long haul, but I think we're making changes.

The Prairieland sentencing has dark historical parallels, Kim Kelly writes. But we can change the end of the current story.

On Juneteenth, we recognize the lasting, generational harms of slavery. Justice is still so often denied to Black Americans.  We recommit to building a more just country for all. That must include removing the Slavery Clause from the 13th Amendment. #EndTheException

🇸🇩 Sudan advocates campaigning against the NBA’s partnership with the UAE have pointed to photos of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sporting both an Emirates-sponsored Arsenal jersey and a Knicks jersey featuring the team’s “Experience Abu Dhabi” sponsorship as examples of how sportswashing works.

Refugees International President Jeremy Konyndyk said people often wear sports merchandise without thinking about what the sponsor on the front represents. He said the Blood on the Ball campaign, launched by The Sentry and partner organizations, seeks to raise awareness of how the UAE is using sports sponsorships to whitewash its image while backing the Rapid Support Forces, which have carried out genocide, widespread rape, and other mass atrocities in Sudan. Konyndyk added that he believed Mamdani would likely be sympathetic to those concerns.

The discussion came during a briefing urging the NBA to reconsider its relationship with the UAE over its support for the RSF. Mamdani, who has spoken out against the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, has said his positions on international affairs are guided by a “belief in the universality of international law” and a commitment to making his “values and commitments clear.”

Albert Parsons stood out from his defenants. He was American born. At 13 he'd run away to join the Confederate army, and after the war he dedicated his life to undoing the evil he'd helped promote. He was shot for trying to register black voters in Texas.

At the beach yesterday and I see our 8 y/o drawing a circle around a swastika in the sand. "Whoa buddy, what are you drawing" "A no Not-zees sign" As he scratches a big X through it. So it seems he does listen to us occasionally.
