Last night I read the comment section of a song by an Irish punk band with the hook "fuck all Nazi scum" in which most commenters were debating the band being liberal or conservative. The commenters' understanding of those words aside, I'd say most of them missed the plot of the song and punk music.

It's interesting to hear someone defend ICE because they have family in law enforcement. It's even more interesting to see their face when they try to compare it to negative things said about the military and you respond "the only thing worse than a dirty cop is a dirty service member."

I've seen a lot of people trying to downplay ICE by comparing it to what is occurring in Iran. When they do this, they're revealing they would protesters be handled here how they would be handled there.

When this is over, if we survive as a nation, I hope we don't forget that most of the Democrats in Washington need to go too.

For no particularly reason I sometimes wonder if there were any German service members watching what was happening around them and struggling to cope mentally with the question of whether or not they could or should make it to retirement. Again, no particular reason.

I just discovered that GM put the Denali nameplate on an SUV and it looks just as dumb as anyone that tries to call Denali "Mount McKinley".

People will argue that you can't compare American homelessness to homelessness in Scandinavian countries as if homeless people just manifest here and it's not a symptom of systemic failures.

Majoring in a climate and energy related topic gives you an opportunity to look at a lot of graphs about public opinion. No matter what the topic, the politically independent 35-54 group almost always finds its way to 50%.

I am a naturally pessimistic person as it pertains to American politics. While last night's major races seem to show a positive trend, I also look at details I find concerning. Andrew Cuomo, despite prior sexual harassment cases, took 41% of the vote in NYC. How did that many people vote for him?

Registering for my spring classes and realizing there is an outside chance of finishing my BA in fall 2026. This will mostly be dependent on what classes are available over the summer.

This semester has been exhausting but manageable with 19 credits, so I'm going to do it again next semester. 😆
