For those who might have interest, I have started booking my speaking engagements for 2027. The first one was confirmed earlier this week, Putnam CT, about the life of the common Union soldier from CT. Working on others, with an aim to have 4-5 over the year. j-lawrence.com/appearances/

In a world with so few heroes, it really stings to lose one. COVID donations. Free books for kids. The Buddy program. My People Fund. Hurricane relief donations. The Grim Reaper keeps getting the wrong targets.

My fuzzy pal decided he'd join me in the office this afternoon. I'm not sad.

Wait, so you're telling me the wind doesn't *always* blow, and the sun won't generate solar power on panels where it has set? Left wing conspiracy! Wharrgarrrrbl! We are truly in the stupidest timeline.

The full clip makes it even more absurd. The narcissist-in-chief literally did try to get into the photo with the team. Like, serious jackass?

I was at home in West Side last week. This week I'm back with my other partner in CT, and Gru essentially is sticking to my side like glue. He may have missed me.

165 years ago today, The 6th Massachusetts Militia was crossing Baltimore on foot to answer Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion in the south. It was attacked a a mob of civilians many times their size. This was the Pratt Street Riot of 1861.

After four separate runs to clear snow off the driveway and THESE freaking steps (in warmer times), I am done. So done. Also: Where the fuck are the #EpsteinFiles ?

This is my buddy Gru, the keeper of one of my partners. He wants everyone to know what a good boy he is, and that he's never, ever been fed. He also really doesn't like it when Jess heads into the office, so he pouts by sleeping where she should be.

Man. I thought it was reasonably funny. Some people lack ANY sense of humor, it seems.

This man has always been a delight. I am also envisioning him saying this in the Darth Maul voice he pioneered.

Great. Now how about you stop accepting bribes... er, I mean "campaign donations"... from PACs, the insurance industry, foreign agents, and the like? www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

If I hear one motherfucker saying that "We don't want socialized medicine! Look how long people need to wait for care in countries that have it! Long, crazy waits!", I'm gonna give them the evil eye of a lifetime. Colonoscopy finally scheduled... THREE YEARS after it was requested.
