An international incident

There was a shooting yesterday that was one of the
ones that was big enough that we all had to know it
had happened so they sent me out to lower the flag to
half-mast outside work. Half-staff they call it on land
I don’t know. I looked at my phone out of habit on the
way back inside and there was another shooting going
on. A real nasty one it looked like.
It wasn’t immediately clear to me what the protocol
here was supposed to be. If I were meant to put the flag
all the way back up to reset things or lower it halfway
down again still.
They had fired the main flag-knowing guy last
month who had been in the National Guard a hundred
years ago or something and this wasn’t really my job
in the first place but I said I’d do it so I wouldn’t get
fired myself.
I figured I’d be proactive so I lowered it down to
the ground to one-third mast and went back inside
feeling fine about it and none of my bosses seemed to
care and then there was another shooting by the time
I got to my desk.
I went back outside again and lowered it further still.
The next day I came in to work and you won’t
believe what happened.
Now we were in a Zeno’s Paradox–type of a scenario
vis-à-vis the flag height and its approach to the soil.
People inside were debating what the definition of a mass

shooting was and the managers were getting a little pissy
about how work was being waylaid by all of us streaming
the news on the computer all day. Trying to find out
what kind of guy it was who killed everybody this time.
Everyone hoping it was the other type of guy to balance
it out. Like trading free throws at the end of a close game.
Being sort of new I was left to my own devices so
I went out and lowered the flag halfway closer to the
ground once more.
Probably not worth remarking on what happened
by the time I came in the next morning and the next
one too and just between us I was running out of real
estate there height-wise with the flag so I went around
back to the maintenance area to look for the custodian
but there was some kid there instead who said in
his cockney accent that the guy had been sacked so
I borrowed a shovel from this kid he was an actual
Victorian child with a sooty face smoking a cigar
and everything and went back out to the flagpole and
started digging to give the flag some breathing room
so it would never have to touch the ground which was
considered poor form in the flag community.
I had dug halfway to the molten core by the end
of the next month but on the upside I was bulking up.
The planet itself was spinning on this flag pole’s axis
now. I was going to hoist an upside-down American
flag in a country on the other side of the globe at this
rate. It was going to be a whole international incident.
People were going to get shot over it.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

I love Kids in the Hall, and the way it stood for homosexual people loud and proud throughout it's run. I'll still love that show, but now there's a damn asterisk on it, and it never had to be this way. Now he's another who pulled the ladder up behind him, and that's how we must see him.

‼️Eighty-six years ago, the world entered the bloodiest war in history. Its outbreak became possible because for too long the dictator was not confronted with force. Instead, attempts were made to appease him with concessions and negotiations.

If you are protected by a union, you have Flint to thank for the historic role Flint workers played in creating strong organized labor. I spent some time this Labor Day talking to a couple of unions in Flint still fighting that fight.

Apparently there is a guy named Ron Miller who has been painting the iconically styled Detroit brick storefront signs since 1978 and I need people to understand that this one man is worth more to us culturally than 10,000,000,000 pieces of AI slop and more to the community than every ICE agent ever.
