I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The risk to North American auto manufacturing is North America's auto manufacturers not keeping up with what global consumers want.

You've had tens of billions of dollars in subsidies and supports shovelled at you. Compete or die.
Exclusive: A recent deal by Canada to allow tens of thousands of inexpensive Chinese EVs into the country is a risk to North American auto manufacturing, GM’s CEO says.

Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.
On tonight’s White House agenda:

Trump and guests will get a private screening of MELANIA, the documentary about the First Lady, @thr.com reports.

Attendees include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Mike Tyson, per the article.

This can have consequences for how agents see themselves. If they put on clothes designed for war, they are more likely to see cities as hostile terrain and citizens as enemy combatants, which can increase the chance of violence. Link to the story here:

Also, A Wizard of Earthsea exists and is infinitely better. Highly recommend LeGuin.

There’s also a ton of fantasy written by BIPOC and LGBTQ authors worth reading too.

NK Jemison for adults.

But for an HP replacement, Earthsea hands down.

Do not confuse power for strength. The so-called powerless may have more strength, more courage, and more honor than any autocrat. A true warrior sees to it that the despot will come to fear that strength, and their power will falter before it.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

‘Cancel’ comes from a Latin word meaning “to make like a lattice.”

When people needed to annul or void a document, they sometimes would mark it with crosshatches

XXXXX

which resembled a lattice.

So the document became ‘canceled.’

...we hope this post doesn’t get us that.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.
