What did some eateries do before the proliferation of plastic utensils and service wear? I lived during that time and I cannot remember.

This weekend I'm leading a session titled "Community as an Imaginative Practice" where I talk about the necessity of using your imagination and then guide people to imagine a better world.

Stay with me here: the best part of the current president is that one day he will die, and on that day it will be gloriously obvious that absolutely nothing he has ever accomplished will last.

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

When I was in Louisiana, I went to the American Fencing Museum in Shreveport and talked to the Historian there - a delightful man named Andy Shaw, who was very intrigued I was there since I had no experience in or knowledge of fencing.

I assume that everyone on my FB feed posting about where they were on 9/11 do not know anyone younger than them. When you interact with people who were not born in 2001 then you get less enthusiastic to share where you were in 2001.

There's another cat at my vet named Chicken Parm and I am very upset about it. Although the vet said that the other Chicken Parm has a sister named Fruitbat so maybe it's okay.

I swear that it's all eye appeal or a drive from influencers over hyping things in order to drive traffic. We have a local donut place here that seems the same - yeah, it's a good donut but they charge $5 per donut! That's $60 for a dozen! The experience doesn't match the cost.

Because the southern strategy has a very easy to explain pathway to power (white supremacy). It's easy to promise improvement based on oppression, but improvement based on equality necessitates that some standards must be lowered, and that's a very hard sell.

Amazing that Iran is successfully attacking the drinking water in the American Midwest, and this is pretty directly the Trump administration's fault, yet this is not a huge scandal among his voters who live there

The Problem™ with my kitten is that unless I am making intense eye contact with him or giving him unconditional attention, he will be an utter menace. And by menace I mean sitting on the counters, eating the plants, and messing with anything hanging up on the walls that he can touch.

Robert Heinlein probably got it right: in the future citizenship will be based solely on military service. I'm pretty sure there will be a hard start for it. So some of us will keep our citizenship but after a specific date you're gonna have to fight space bugs to vote.

I got an email today from the Social Security Administration that ended with "Put simply, America's seniors are winning!" and it drove home how much our current foray into fascism is predicated on "winning." Not even "winning" a specific objective, but just being able to say you're "winning."

Everything AI generated gives off uncanny valley vibes. For example, this flyer that was on my county's website. These are clearly lizard people in masks.
