From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Whether you know a lot or nothing about Silicon Valley, this is a must read piece by my friend and former Wired bud Steven levy @stevenjayl. He has seen the evolution of tech from its beginnings. He knows everyone. Few have as powerful a lens. It’s just seminal. www.wired.com/story/silico...

Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later, it looks more like a suicide pact.

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.” I don’t want to be their damn conscience. I want them to vote their conscience.

I never used to turn our AC on until we hit 78 inside the house, but this year I’ve lowered that threshold to 75, because if I can’t be happy I can at least be comfortable.

This book took me forever to finish because I needed to consult every third footnote and talk myself out of reading all the referenced sources right this minute. I had to stop reading it at bedtime because it was too exciting for good sleep hygiene. Anyways, recommended!

Police pulled her over for a traffic violations. Turns out it was the wrong truck they pulled over. WTF. But they found out she was brought to America by her parents at age 4. Turned her over to ICE. A judge released her after weeks in jail. ICE still wants to deport her to Mexico. WTF 🤬

From Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 book THE NINE, this remains the greatest Justice Souter anecdote I can possibly share. RIP.
. . . It was, for example, a running joke at the Court that outsiders frequently mistook Souter and Breyer for each other. No one could really understand why this happened, because the two bore little resemblance. One day when Souter was making his usual solo drive from Washington to New Hampshire, he stopped for lunch in Massachusetts. A stranger and his wife came up to him and asked, "Aren't you on the Supreme Court?"

Souter said he was.

"You're Justice Breyer, right?" said the man.

Rather than embarrass the fellow, Souter simply nodded and exchanged pleasantries, until he was asked an unexpected question.

"Justice Breyer, what's the best thing about being on the Supreme Court?"

The justice thought for a while, then said, "Well, I'd have to say it's the privilege of serving with David Souter."

Thank you T for encouraging us to spend less. You have explained how this will be a "two doll" Christmas. If say 30 percent of our citizens start feeling even a little poor it will have a powerful effect on spending, economic growth and eventually GDP. We live in interesting times.
