At the stroke of noon, I was driving, and Leonard Cohen was reminding me that there is a crack in everything—that’s how the light gets in.

A reminder before he’s sworn in: Border crossings are way down, deportations are way up, domestic energy production is the greatest it’s ever been, and the American economy has been kicking butt for three years.

No matter how much he lies, he’s inheriting a very strong America.

The Trump flip-flop on TikTok illustrates something that I've been arguing for a while. His supporters say he's "unpredictable," and that keeps our enemies on their toes.

Nope. He's manipulable, and that gives our enemies an advantage. China is seizing that advantage now.

This weekend's TikTok fuckery convinced me that it's time to delete most of my social media.

I dropped Xitter when Felon Muskrat took over; when TikTok came back up, I downloaded my shit and deleted my account there. Downloading from Meta now; I'll delete later in the week.

Wired: Schrödinger’s Equal Rights Amendment.

Six jobs I’ve done. One’s a lie:
1. Census taker
2. Debate coach
3. Personnel clerk
4. Law librarian
5. Journal editor
6. Computer teacher
