The planet may be boiling but hell is getting dangerously cold. George Will and Karl Rove endorsed Democrats this week.

A few years after I graduated high school, the school’s long time football coach didn’t show up to school one day. When he didn’t answer a call the principal went to his home and discovered that he had died of a heart attack. I wonder if someone could send the principal to check on Mitch McConnell.

I have lived a rich, full 66 years, but in twice that many I’d never top the lunch I got to share with Wendell Berry and Cornel West. Rest in peace, Mr. Berry. No writer has meant more to me than him. The world has lost a giant.

Turns out there are plenty of alternatives to Google. This week I’m going to see how much of my digital life I can remove from a company that coddles nazis. I’ll write about it later and share the experience of an old man shouting out the virtual clouds.

If you can spend $100 million in a campaign to stop a wealth tax you're making a perfect case for a wealth tax. Thanks Sergey Brin. Also, fascists not welcome.

So the administration wants to track anti-ice social media accounts. Let’s help them out. Fuck ICE.

Fuck ICE, and all of the lawmakers who empower them. If Jeremiah were around, he'd be saying this, and preachers would quote him and say, "this is the word of God for the people of God." Jeremiah is not here, so I'll say it for him. Fuck ICE, and everyone who empowers them. Word of God.

At the Nats game alone listening to the game with earbuds. Tapped them to get the "ambient aware" setting and suddenly got a whiff of pot. I don't think that's how that's supposed to work 😎

If Joe Biden said "I appointed Jerome Powell" the media would go nuts with stories about Biden losing cognitive abilities (and rightly so, if he did that). But when Trump says he's surprised that Biden appointed Powell: crickets. I'm surprised about that too since the appointment came in 2018.

They come for the librarians because libraries are where we preserve culture and where people can discover truth. Fascists want to control culture and undermine truth.

Estimates range from 3-5.2 million Americans in the streets over the weekend protesting against the administration. Or about 100 times as many as showed up for the inauguration in January. Bummer that it took seeing the first two months instead of stopping it in November, but here we are.

Why DEI matters: I was watching a Nats’ game with a queer person who has a lot of experience in lesbian circles. They pointed out to me that the hand gesture Nats players make after a hit is a gesture for lesbian sex. Organizations need diversity so they don’t embarrass themselves. #MLB
