Despite the cool paint jobs, Air Force One is not actually a specific aircraft; it's the call sign of an aircraft which currently contains the President of the United States. As a fun fact, this means that the number of takeoffs of Air Force One does not equal the number of landings. 1/

I truly believe that the US electorate buys into "let's just move on" more than other countries
Which is part of why so much sucks, because there are no enduring consequences for bad behavior

I didn’t see anything about protests in Boston today but I did just see someone getting off the T with a sign, so there must have been something on the Common. Please note it is extremely cold here today. But people went out.

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean
Hard to watch US TV media discussing how the US might occupy and run a foreign country as if it’s a perfectly normal political development.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Hi, I'm prolonged labor!

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

So, librarians, do you have a contingency plan for when these goons enter your facility? You might not be able to block access to a public building, but how are you alerting your patrons? Do you have a plan to get them out safely? Because you should.
