“Search history,” a poem (by me)
How to prepare duck breast
In the fall of democracy,
And protect overwintering bees
And immigrants.
De-icing your freezer
And town square,
And saying what you mean
To get a knee off your chest.
Six ways to make casserole
Without health insurance.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

If you're angry at democrats for telling the military to refuse illegal orders, it's because you're issuing illegal orders.
That's it. That's the only reason.

I read a Wikipedia article about Epstein. Really knew little about him. It was surprisingly boring. I had wondered where he came from, how’d he get to be who he became. There wasn’t much there. Was his whole purpose just to fulfill a need a bunch of rich jerks had, or was he extremely charismatic?

They forgot Cat Stevens’
Oh Very Young:
They will vanish away like your dads best jeans
Denim blue, faded up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
You know they never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

@jamesloganauthor.bsky.social Just finished the Blackfire Blade. It’s…like really good. I’d read the first book long enough ago that it took me a little while to catch up but once I did…needless to say I’m eager to read number three. I’d like to see more of Clank, they need more words.

I think if one dies naturally there’s no reason biologically to not eat what’s left. I’m sure animals kill and eat the weaker. Sort of a trolley problem, really. Do you let one die to save many?

Can’t remember if I updated, but I went to the School of Dentistry and had 8 teeth pulled on Wednesday. All uppers so now I have no grinding surfaces. More fun to come. Uppers weren’t too bad, very little pain so far.
