Very sorry to hear of the passing of Jesse Jackson. A true trailblazer and nice enough to take a selfie with a random dude in 2019.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Gotta love putting a ton of work into maps, miniatures, and handouts for a drop-in adventure while battling the secret fear that no one will sign up.

"Rejects" isn't strong enough. Judge Leon rips Secretary Hegseth a new asshole, even though the one he already has is enormous.

Living on the West Coast is weird. The Super Bowl is almost over and not only is it not bedtime, but I have time to do other stuff.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
