We had to say goodbye to one of our best friends today. He had a lot of names, he wore a lot of hats, and he helped me through many challenges. A dog might be man’s best friend, but a cat is man’s best roommate. You were a real one, Bean. Love you forever.

From the NYT editorial board yesterday. Note that the current administration is hyper-focused on personal identity and Americans' differences. Especially race, gender, sexuality, and religion.

“People celebrated William F. Buckley, and I think I’m like Buckley, but people don’t celebrate me.
