I think all four living presidents and all living secretaries of defense need to get on TV and tell the American people of the danger we are now facing

No particular reason, just wondering if living 90 miles from DC has me far enough away to be out of the blast zone/radiation from a nuke.

Bertolas in Oakland CA. Cozy Italian place that served family style meals and had cheap drinks. Prime Rib for 6.99!

This is insane. My kid is in town to scope out a future move there and I sent her this so she's aware. Stay safe.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

I hear this one. I was a prolific reader earlier in life before smartphones. I had to force myself to not pick up my phone when I woke up and now I enjoy that 30 minutes of reading a book with my morning coffee. The news and social media will be there later in the day.
I feel like we haven’t fully reckoned with the with the implications of the reality that in the past generation, many have lost the ability to concentrate long enough to read a book.

Went to many dances at Saint Susanna‘s when I was in school.
Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.
