That the political system has been so impotent for so long on both positive and negative behaviors inoculated the American public as to the consequences of elections, and - in that way - the system was not in service to them. I think about this quite a bit. The stove had never been hot enough before

Note to Fox Sports: when I'm watching a baseball game I want to watch the pitcher throwing the ball, not the manager getting interviewed while the game is in progress? WTF??

Today La Resistencia’s deportation flight volunteers observed the largest deportation or transfer flight ever. 2 people came off the plane to be detained at Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.

I've seen this take multiple times and generally agree. I was disappointed in 2017 seeing Womens Marchers fist-bumping cops, because it showed we weren't a threat. I still go, because numbers are important. But I know it isn't changing anything by itself.
I was talking to friends last night about white liberals. They truly believe that showing up in an orderly fashion and expressing their displeasure is sufficient to make oppressors change course. No matter how many times you tell them it's not enough.

Stepped outside to watch the fireworks and saw an owl! Surely that is some kind of omen

Took the elevator to the top of the Space Needle for the first time in many years. I'm very proud of this photo!

Back in September 2016 I was chatting with a Liberian Lyft driver in Dallas and he said that Americans have no idea how bad things can get when the government is truly corrupt. I think about that conversation a lot.

Maybe creating a Bluesky account was a mistake. At first I was all "Woo! The gang's back together!", but it's actually weird that the vibe from 5+ years ago has been ported over unchanged.

Is it weird that one of my favorite places to stroll is the neighborhood cemetery? I've been exploring here for over 40 years and still find new things all the time. Does the fact that this will be my final resting place make it more or less weird? I have the deed to the plot and everything.

I read "Wicked" back in the day and it was so *weird*. It really captured the bizarre-ness of the original Oz books. To this day I'm baffled that it ever became a hit musical
