One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Two observations. First, the money we spent in post WW II reconstruction of Europe and the Pacific rim was not wasted and may now save our collective asses while we deal with this global isolation. Second, they haven't done away with DEI, they have just added OPUS in front of it.

For 72 years I have changed 'sex' on forms to 'gender' because I believe 'sex' is a "yes or no" question (consent / non-consent), not a "M or F" question. In my personal vocabulary, 'sex' is an activity, 'gender' a description. In my head, it will never not be so. The Muskables are fuckin' with me.

Missed opportunity: There are no Union stares bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Wouldn't Gulf of Dixie or Rebel Sea or something similar have been a better choice? 😎🙃

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Total Contempt for Public Servants

Trump and Musk do not understand the value of an apolitical service that must obey the Constitution and the law.

Me, Granny, Christmas 1951. The coffee table and rocking chair are in my daughter's house now. The TV? It introduced me to Howdy Doody, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Annette Funicello, and Dick Clark.

Gosh I am old? The Temptations on the Today show this morning. I saw them live in Copley Square in 1986 compliments of Culinet Corporation during a convention. They sound just as good today.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Of course a president can pardon people who have never been charged, much less convicted, of anything at all. Remember reading about the wholesale Civil War pardons?

Putting that Attorney General nominee in charge of the Justice Department because he knows about laws is like putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department because he knows about fires. There is a difference between knowing and upholding. We don’t care anymore but there is

With finals coming up, I’m obviously going to do much more cooking. Finally got a cookbook holder. Cast iron. It’s perfect. Tomorrow I’m gonna make Fuchsia Dunlop’s fish-fragrant eggplant. Her version is worked famous. Don’t think I’ve made this one. All her recipes are amazing
