“Well Ezra, it’s pretty simple - we didn’t believe women.” “I think that’s a good place to leave it. As always our final question: what are three books you’d recommend to the audience?”

Constructed two raised cedar beds, planted herbs and leafy greens, took down old bushes, planted new bushes, pruned the silver maples, and planted a young blossoming apple tree. Deeply aware of my own privilege when I say that no tonic on earth is more potent than working your land by hand.

Experts on waffles? Waffle House? Teleportation? God? God’s hands? Georgia? FEMA? Journalism? Reality?

36 years and two audio formats apart, two kids - one who would become the parent of the other - select the exact same album as their first consciously purchased piece of music. Talk about synchronicity. 🥁

Just another data point to reinforce the hypothesis that are are, in fact, living in the dumbest timeline.

Secretaries of Defense are literally scheduled down to the minute, their days are so packed. To have dedicated 6 minutes to this record this video, plus the staff time required to write, vet, and film it, is insane. Doing so during a military buildup in Iran’s backyard is criminally frivolous.

I don’t know what it says about my level of trust in reality that I was convinced - for at least two to three minutes - that this party favor my kid brought home from a birthday had a baggie of coke in it.

Today, as a government shutdown looms over ICE funding, as news comes out about children in TX immigrant detention center leading a revolt, as a deep freeze keeps us isolated, and 93 years to the day Hitler became German chancellor, it is a good day to reread WH Auden’s poem, “September 1, 1939.”

“A well-kempt forest begs Our Lady's grace; Someone is not disgusted, or at least Is laying bets upon the human race Retaining enough decency to last; The trees encountered on a country stroll Reveal a lot about a country's soul.” WH Auden

The woman ICE murdered, the woman whose death federal government officials lied about, the woman who was shot in head despite doing nothing illegal, had a six year old son who is now an orphan because his dad died two years ago. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

An easy NY resolution to stick to: a small blank softcover notebook in which to list the things I’m is worried about before I go to bed. Now they live on the page, not in my brain, and I’ll deal with them in the morning. 10/10, highly recommend.

The retraining argument has always been infuriating, the way it makes the dispossessed the culprit of their own joblessness (“just learn a new skill!”), exculpating those in power. In the AI era, the road to joblessness is paved with similar stones. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/o...

Church service ticking along fine, then this part in the Prayers of the People brings the past 12 months of deportations roaring back in one crystalline moment and I just absolutely, embarrassingly collapse. Can’t get through the rest of the service. “Grant us strength and courage,” indeed.

I hate baking and am too thick to understand how to assemble a kit, and Boy didn’t care much, so we made what the shape suggested: a bomb shelter. So festive!

Grateful for a beanbag in front of a roaring fire, for a son reading next to me, for dinner in the oven, a healthy and safe family, and a country worthy, still and to the last, of our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Happy Thanksgiving.
