DJT economics: - Paying for anything is bad (you lose money) - Selling things is good (you get money) - Borrowing is good (you get money) - But high interest is bad (see #1) No concept of a fair trade or win-win.

It’s kind of neat to compare the donor and trustee reaction to some students holding signs that say “stop the genocide” with their reaction to the tenured former Bush official responsible for widespread torture advocate for firing squads.

The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

One of the best ways to experience fietsgeluk (cycling happiness) is by pedalling together as an expression of community, and the Cycling Without Age Bike Parade in Budapest was no exception. At a time when cycling has become so politically divisive, it was a beautiful, communal act of celebration!
