"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Bruno waiting for his walk.
The Naligator waiting for her leash as nobody leaves the house without her. She's pretending she will be a good puppy if I let her come with us, and will not try to chase cars.
She lied!

Did I hear RFK jr say there are no autistic Amish people? The religious community who believes there is only one way to do everything and that way has been frozen in time since the 1850s?
I put it to you that there are only Autistic Amish people

This is just stunning. Search out his other work, you won't regret it.

This is from FALCONER’S JOY - published in 2018 and now out of print.
I'm hoping we can get this back on the shelves in 2026, or perhaps include the poems in a larger Selected Works...
I think it's one of my best poems, actually.

There was this time I had acquired a pair if hissing cockroaches, as you do, and was delighted there was a subgroup I could join dedicated to these animals.
I didn't do so when I discovered the name used was Blattodea - the order to which cockroaches belong, and not Cock.(roach) Soc(iety).

What would great is if everyone just acted like he was dead anyway. Publish obituaries. Just act like he isn’t there anymore. Front it out like they did with the whole “We won the election” thing. Think how furious that would make him.

Chicago PD will not cooperate with ICE and federal agents. They will act to protect citizens of Chicago. They will not wear masks and will arrest people (ICE, etc) who assault and attempt to kidnap citizens.
Mayor is signing executive orders as I type this!
