And so, to review like I do with my kids before they leave:
Are we happy?
Are we healthy?
Are we safe?
Are there any nazis within reach we must deal with immediately?
Good. Now go fuck some shit up.

A thing I'd recommend is taking some time to write a letter to you in six months. Screw a new years resolution: resolve what kind of citizen you'll be in 2026.
Making your decisions now helps in the moment when things will seem confusing. Write down your road map: what is good and valuable?

Round one of soup day went well enough that we have acquired provisions for day two. We lack only the containers, which can be had in the morning.
Y'all are amazing. Keep chipping in, I'll cook until the cash is dry

It is worth reminding you on this Christmas day that the only good Christmas movie is Michael Bolton's Big Sexy Valentine's Day Special
I hope your day is as good as the movie.

It is the annual Making Of The Soup. If you want to feed some folks sleeping rough, I got me two hundred takeout quart containers. And a metric fuckton of tomatoes. And a Vitamix.

I may have phrased this poorly. *I* have enough blankets. I just ran out of ones to give away and spent all my cash buying more. So now I need more cash to get more blankets, and I am asking mutual aid folks to help me out here. Too cold to do less.
Hey folks I've been offline doing some things. Polar vortex, if you wanted to help me help, I've zeroed my balances and ain't got enough blankets.

Hi.
Are you alone tonight?
I'll call you I have grace to spare and I am angry at the local religions for not making a number available in case someone needed something.
How can I help you? My DM remains open.

I haven't been online because I've been writing
but we got another one to raise funds for. A lady needs to see a man about a horse: you know what to do. About $700, housing covered already. Timely.

Some people have noted that I once read Hillbilly Elegy
That was when some prick had written a bad memoir. Now he's the vice president
That prick wrote a bad memoir and he ain't from the goddamned holler and I don't care where he spent his summers until he was twelve
Fuck JD Vance, he's miniscule

I thought about nothingness. Was it Kafkaesque or was it mere pretension?
I came to you with no pretense, said Billy joel.
I thought about Storm Front and whether I had ever visited a sea in which I could find a ship called the Downeaster Alexa.
Then I thought about AI and whether it had hurt me.

Okay I went away and wrote, attn editors:
It is 1704 on a Tuesday and 4782 children have died of Sarah McLaughlin commercials
I think about the dehydration of the children forced to pose with the sad puppies
I look at the sink and consider whether running water makes me feel bad.
Awards, please.

The thing about it is I didn't even care about the ethics of it, who besides people who dream of writing for Harper's thought Nuzzi knew anything about the electorate? Fine, so she proved she's got shit taste in men and is more than a bit naive, sad insider face.
It's the prose I cannot forgive.

Having read the first page of the Nuzzi excerpt
