There is perhaps no more beautiful sound in the world than the faintly audible sound of Glenn Gould vocalizing as he plays the Goldberg Variations. Try as they might, they couldn't sew it out. The little rift remains, threatening to pull you deeper than you thought possible.

Conversation with Nico this morning:

Nico: "Daddy is a big person and Nico is a little person."

Me: "Who else is big?"

Nico: "Mommy and glammy and grandpa and a big tree."

Me: "Who else is little?"

Nico: "Just Nico."

This is genuine secret police shit
What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
