So, this is the seat I use when I'm doing TV. It's high and has no back, so it works better for TV. I left it next to my desk last week. Lily has decided that she's now my officemate. She stays next to me all day and night. So I bought another of the exact same chair for TV. Because I am a cat dad.

I often dread opening Bluesky for the very thing you document: Relentless lack of joy. I know things are bad. I don't need to be clubbed over the head with that reality because of some offhand remark. Should be renamed Darksky. Waiting for someone to scold me for saying that.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Now let me be Dr. Buzzkill. The reason polls like this always fall short of reality is that Democrats LOVE to day "Yes, I'm voting to remove the fascists" and then they forget what day Election is. Prove me wrong, and show up.

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

Neagley is better-written, and much better-acted, than any of the four seasons of Reacher. And Neagley makes for a much less bland hero. I don't think that's Ritchson's fault, though, I think the show's had him on a leash.

Kelly's an obvious possibility, but not sure America is ready to vote for a Jewish president, and definitely not for a gay president. Please keep the Electoral College in mind when spitballing names that sound good if they were running for governor of a blue state but maybe not so much for POTUS.

His name needs to be kept off the Kennedy Center and the ballroom must be torn down. There's tremendous power in symbolism. The GOP knows that. Dem leadership needs to learn/understand that too. 🤨

9/11 was traumatic for all Americans. But the U.S. and other governments panicked, and took their eyes off a lot of other threats for a while. We’re still living with the consequences of that panic. My look back at that day and what it brought: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A Quarter Century of Panic

After 9/11, the U.S. government was over-focused on fighting terrorism, losing sight of other threats. Americans are still living with the consequences.
