Good riddance to Nico Harrison, the personification of everything that’s going on. Blew up something good because he didn’t understand it and it didn’t conform to his vision of toughness. One of the clearest pictures of Everyone Is 12 Now ever produced. Untold damage to my psyche. Enjoy podcasting.

Today's must-read by @thomasbirm.bsky.social: a major corporate landlord is fueling homelessness across the U.S. *and* the mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.
The Israeli company owns tens of thousands of apartments in the South, filing evictions at nine times the national average.

Long video, but worth the full watch. It covers Peter Thiel’s journey, showing how much control he has and the danger he poses.
“That moment gave away what Peter Thiel really is: a greedy, selfish person who wants to own the world and will invent any fantasy he can possibly think of to justify it.”

In 2014, a friend sent me this photo he took on a plane. It's of Joan Rivers reading my book "Poking a Dead Frog." Wish I had been on the plane, as I was a huge Joan Rivers fan. Still am. Pray this wasn't the last book she ever read. Love her and miss her. The world could use her now.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.
Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.
