Bagel is obviously a huge part of my special Night Thoughts. She passed between recording and air, & Hulu was kind enough to let us add a dedication to her at the end, to include her in all the marketing (bottom left of poster) & give her an actual credit on the special.
Bagel forever and ever.
Bagel forever and ever.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid.

Can we talk about how women 30-60 are convinced that any symptoms are perimenopause/menopause rather than considering possible damage from Covid infections? Any health concerns are 'normal' & they all commiserate about their cognitive, cardiac, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, immunological probs.

I’m living a ghost of a life. I may never eat normally again. And it makes it so hard to watch people expose themselves to Covid over and over knowing that THIS could be not even the outcome, but some kind of midpoint.
Please do not get this disease, and please do not give it to anyone else.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!"
And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college.
This is, in fact, good politics.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

I have been trying to tell anyone who will listen that right now we need a Teddy Roosevelt, an FDR, someone who is willing to break the robber barons and do the “unpopular” things the wealthy don’t want to see done but are necessary to claw back some power for those who don’t normally wield it
