Slightly related: I would pay at least a dollar extra for every Amazon order if I knew that it was going toward things like "liveable wages" and "not working warehouse workers to death." Two dollars extra. Hell, five dollars. Call it the woke tax and let people opt out of it, I don't care.

The only good thing about having a president who has never read a book is that he might literally say "let them eat cake" without reservation.

Listening to Dorothy Ashby, and I've decided that if I could insert one magic play-instrument chip into my head, it would be jazz harp. It would annoy teenagers/dogs, which is great, but also I could say things like "I play harp," then lower my sunglasses, and say "JAZZ harp."
