Working on an article about faith. I always get extra religious during Holy Week and Easter.

I used to get so annoyed at libertarians for complaining about dumb stuff like Hunter Biden's laptop or when Joe Biden made airlines get rid of hidden fees. I would now love to return to those simpler times.

Started this last night. A book about growing up in the south and contemplating death? Sounds like a great Holy Week read to me! @rachaelmaddux.bsky.social
A copy of the book "Life Expectancy," a memoir written by Rachael Maddux.

About to start C&P. I've read TBK and The Idiot, but never this. I hear this translation is good.

I finished reading Moby Dick early this morning. I then checked my phone for the first time today and saw the headline. Maybe the U.S. is the Pequod, and the whale is our hubris.

I really don't want to jump in on all the manufactured outrage over nothing, but I genuinely don't know what its like to have a strong opinion on the half time show regardless of who is performing.

Opinions on homeschooling will be a similar trajectory to vaccines/wellness/etc but in the opposite direction. Lib hippies used to be the anti-vaxx essential oil people. The anti-homeschool crowd will be more open to it once TPUSA says you have to hang Bible verses in every classroom.

Didn't sleep last night. Just constant panic attack after how much money I spent on this yesterday. Very happy, and it's a somewhat needed business expense, but it was still painful.

President Donald Trump is laser focused on the issues Americans care about, such as his losing a single state which would not have changed the national outcome, in an election whose resulting presidential term has already concluded, after which he has already been reelected

Not to be dramatic, but reading 'The Jakarta Method' by Vincent Blevins and the similarities between how the U.S.-backed Indonesian military talked about communists to justify their extermination and the way the current regime talks about "leftists," migrants, or anyone else but them is striking.

Anyone know of any orgs in ATL you can donate to that help provide resources, supplies, etc for Atlanta Public Schools? Found a link to donate directly to APS but got a 404 error thing. Wasn't sure if there was a better option anyways?

Probably the weirdest dynamic of the Drumpf era is that the Bush administration intellectuals who invented DHS are like “Oh God, what have I done?” But the GOP conspiracy theory guys who have always been predicting DHS would do what DHS is now very clearly doing are ride or die for it.

I just called and left a message. It was easy. You can too! This is the template I came up with...
Senator ______

My name is _____ and I am one of your constituents here in Atlanta, and I just wanted to call and urge you to vote against any budget that would fund ICE. I will be awaiting a response from you, and I look forward to seeing you out in the streets with the rest of us speaking out against the insanity that is taking place in Minnesota, but is surely headed our way too if we don’t stop it now. Thanks for your time!

It was already abundantly clear before, but we're seeing in real time how all of the 2A-well-regulated-militia types are just mouth-breathing, chicken-shit keyboard warriors. The tyrannical govt is here and yall are cheering them on from the sidelines.

Absolutely surreal to read "Homelessness is rising fast among a surprising group: infants and toddlers" as Congress prepares to hand ICE another $10 billion to terrorize communities across the country.
Headline from the Hechinger Report: 

"Homelessness is rising fast among a surprising group: Infants and toddlers — Special child care centers for these kids allow parents to work and get back on their feet", dated Jan 17, 2026

Everything is so cooked that I have determined that life is really all about just chillin with the homies until we cant anymore. Maybe thats all it was really ever about, but I am seeing this with more clarity now.

🧵 Posted the most vanilla, friendly, centrist-y sounding rant on IG regarding all of the current events and I kinda feel like a dummy. I'm actually less concerned atm about converting people to the left than getting people to see what is currently happening in front of them is complete bullshit. 🧵

I've been wondering if this shooting will be the thing that finally wakes the supporters of this administration. Surely this cold blooded murder by the state in broad daylight by these goons will lead to some pause and self-examination, right? RIGHT?

Plenty of valid things to dunk on this administration for, but this seems pretty benign. I personally love seeing the massive block of cheese at the top. And bananas kinda suck. Baby ass food.
