Some years it just feels like a certain team has been kissed by fate, they just can’t lose. This year the Knicks are that team. There’s signs everywhere if you look for them

46% of New Orleans households do not make a living wage. 50% of Louisiana households do not make a living wage. In a barely functional economy, those numbers would be 0%.

It is amazing to watch the supercharging of the South's extractive economic model, destroying education for its own residents in order to beg for out-of-state wealth that will ultimately leave behind almost no benefits. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/suicidal-b...

calvin and hobbes comic strip

first panel depicts calvin and his dad at an ATM, calvin asks "how do bank machines work?"

second panel depicts calvin's dad pointing at the ATM, he says "well, let's say you want 25 dollars. you punch in the amount ..."

third panel depicts calvin and his dad in front of the ATM, his dad says "... and behind the machine there's a guy with a printing press who makes the money and sticks it out this slot"

fourth and final panel depics calvin and his dad leaving, calvin asks "sort of like the guy who live sup in our garage and opens the door?" and his dad replies "exactly"

Trust is interesting because it’s not quantifiable but it certainly is palpable. Teams with trust move lightning speeds faster than those without.

Red Beans and Rice. Pableaux-style. - David Rifkin
Pableaux [Paul] Johnson (1/8/1966-1/26/2025) was the very best of us. He was first and foremost a friend, but also a talented writer, photographer, home chef, and extrovert. On the last part… to quote...

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people
