When the federal government shows motivation to deprive citizens of their voting rights without process, much less due process, that is an illegitimate act. There must be consequences for acting in such a way. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

From 15,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle (Gift Article)
It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

@nytimes.com The cardinal sin of aviation copy editing: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/u...
An article describing Trump’s billion dollar boondoggle Qatari 747, but using “hanger” in the closet sense, vs. “hangar” in the airport sense.

It’s be pretty sweet if Madonna’s contribution to the World Cup ended up just leading the crowd in a rousing chant of “Fuck Trump” for 30 minutes.

I really dislike concerts and games where the crowd is there because they can afford it, and largely don’t give a crap about the event at hand. Which, with the price of tickets these days, seems pretty common.

Headline states: Secret Assessments Contradict US Claims of Decimation. Then states: Iran has operational access to 30 of 33 missile sites. Scribbled over the image is 30/33 ~= 10%, and an arrow pointing to the word Decimation.

Good to know that historical re-enactors for “America 250 (tm)” won’t have to do a thing to convey the progress in enfranchisement we’ve made since our nation‘s founding. Great work, fellow citizens.

We can build things. We can make life better, but we have to choose to do so. Continuously. Rot and decay are default. Bad actors will always use this for their selfish gain. It’s on the rest of us to resist, to always strive for more perfect.

I’m sitting here, a middle-aged white man in CA with a cat in my lap, alternately ugly crying and feeling raging disdain for my fellow Americans that we let this happen. That this is who we are right now. Why? Bored with decency? Hate for brown people? Who the fuck do we want to be? Not this.

Just getting around to this Times interview with Trump. Happened to see something on his desk that looked curious. Some tweaking, and by golly that’s a Top Secret cover sheet just sitting a few inches away from the reporter’s mic. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...
Trump in the Oval Office, behind the desk, with his hand hovering over a document that says “TOP SECRET” in bold letters while answering questions from NYTimes reporters.

As a person who has experienced multiple forms of significant pain, I feel it relevant that my single exposure to pepper spray (direct contact, sensitive area) was something that had me fearing death. These acts are craven. These people are ghouls.
