We are, unexpectedly to me, having weather, today, in Monrovia. With the Solstice passed, longer days should bring warmer weather (I know, California winters but, I've acclimated.), eventually.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

As Trump's gestapo brutalizes Charlotte, NC under a bastardization of E.B. White's book, it's worth looking at the author's thoughts on the subject. Thanks to the Bulwark for bringing this to my attention.
