Unlike my little guy here. I like how he grabs on before he gets busy. “Whoa, I better hang on!”

Read it and weep.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social Thank you for allowing us to freely share “On Tyranny.” Did you know the 20 lessons fit perfectly onto a legal-sized piece of paper, font size 10? And this can be printed by anyone and folded into a nice little zine for easy distribution? Now you know. 🫡

The zine summarizes the key points from Timothy Snyder’s best-selling book entitled “On Tyranny - Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.” One copy displays the front cover of the zine. The second copy is opened to show the first two pages. The zine is printed on yellow legal-sized paper (8.5 inches by 14 inches) with black ink.A photo showing one copy of an 8-page zine before it has been cut and folded.

Hmmm….
A side-by-side comparison of JD Vance’s new official photo and the Chucky character from the Child’s Play movie/tv/video game franchise. Both appear creepy, evil, and deceitful.

Nature’s art, with an assist from the snow removal crew.
A photo of an oak leaf on a concrete surface. The surface had been heavily treated with salt after having been cleared of snow. As the residual moisture evaporated, the salt left interesting patterns on the concrete and a heavy white outline around the leaf.

And here’s what David Brooks had to say.
During the Capehart and Brooks segment of the PBS NewsHour on Friday, December 20, 2024, David Brooks said: “If Elon Musk can do some good, then maybe he can do some good…. If Elon Musk, some billionaire walks in, and can reform some of the rules that are impinging the way the government works, all to it.  I don’t expect that to happen but what I expect is that Donald Trump has some right instincts about immigration, about reforming government, but he does not know anything about the reality of governance.  And so my posture right now is, let’s let him try!  He’s got some instincts that are terrible and some instincts that are not terrible.  Let’s let him try.  But changing the government is phenomenally hard and you have to really know what you’re doing and neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk really knows how the game is played.” Whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean!

Behold! A rare sighting of the Great Lakes whale.
A piece of driftwood which resembles a whale. It is balanced on a rock on a beach at sunset.

Today I saw my first Cybertruck in the wild. It looks just like if someone put wheels on my pill cutter.

This almost makes me want to get a job so I can join the strike.
