Really recommend the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman for its insightful takedown of productivity messaging and routines plus lots of new ways to think about productivity at a deeper, more gratifying level.

I once saw a dog pee on his own face in a moment of extreme fear and excitement. Like a dog kicked by an abusive master, Cassidy can’t decide if her should cower or show his teeth, so instead he pees on his own face.

What will it take for tall, patrician, wooden, out-of-touch, to-the-manor-born white dudes to wake up and realize the world doesn’t want them? Gov. Newsom, I’d like to meet Al Gore, John Kerry, and Mitt Romney. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Despite his smooth, plausible, “nice-guy” persona, anyone with the least bit of discernment knows David Brooks is a morally bankrupt and dangerously vapid lickspittle of the neoliberal establishment. He has egg all over his flunky face because he & his ilk are the true Trump enablers.

Where do you like to do on Mardi Gras day? I am usually lingering by the hour at Tuba Fats Square. It would be fun to meet up. Also if you want to get the insider scoop on the Box of Wine Parade, I can hook you up on Bacchus Sunday.

You should launch a carnival travel agency so lazy ass revelers like me can let you show us all the carnivals? I want to see Ponce, Trinidad, Martinique, Dominica, Bolivia and Bahia, little towns in Spain and Italy where they whip you and throw mud on you. Where will your first tour take us?

Let’s see how affordable housing is when the next major hurricane or other catastrophe destroys entire communities, and there are no workers willing or able to rebuild the houses. Seeing this play out in real time in Asheville and L.A. right now!

I’ve always said nobody is ever cold inside a parade, but I think KdV is about to test the theory tonight. Stay warm out there and have a great roll!

Which is just another way of saying “I can’t run on a maga agenda when the good people of Minnesota are being killed in cold blood by their own government and there is no running as a Republic without being an all out maga sooo…I’m out.” Good. Let them find out there is not future for them.

When y’all start paying people a living wage for their hours worked, I’ll be the FIRST to donate. No progressive organization should routinely ask volunteers to do what would be paid labor in any other situation. Volunteers are fine, but you gotta pay your rank and file, boots on the ground people.

The problem with modern New Orleans is there aren't enough Sandra Hester types anymore. Not always focused on the thing you would like them to be. But unafraid to take on elite power (even if they made a scene in the process.) We're gonna need more of them. www.fox8live.com/2026/01/14/l...
