Absolutely loving how the UH coogs are playing this season. Just an inch away from a 5-0 season and they're just looking so good.

I hope people appreciate how important it can be for some people to be able to play a game and gain some small level of accomplishment. I know it gets covered by many as "escapism", but for me it's different. It's making the hill of getting something done as small as possible. And that's a start.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Still true today: one of the best pieces of advice I ever got as an adult is for when ordering flowers: 1) Call a local florist directly 2) Ask for their choice of what looks best 3) Provide a price point Absolute winner every time. Thanks @hollyanderson.bsky.social!!

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

I found this really interesting analysis from Bloomberg the other day the short version is that, recession or not, inflation or not, workers have less agency because growing capital concentration means corporations don’t have to be competitive employers it’s harder to find better jobs, get raises

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.
