I was smiling at one of the best signs I saw yesterday: The Constitution is NOT a suggestion. And I loved the great photo of Elvis in West Palm Beach that said “Our Only King.” Mockery is important.

Thank you, Ben Zimmerman. And for the blessing. A 2d posthumous book, a collection of interviews with Stanley over many years, should appear soon.

I too enjoy reading the prose of my late husband Stanley Cavell. It’s grand to find your mention of him on Bluesky—that would please him very much.

Me too—here to celebrate some precious, rare, good electoral news: Mara Dolan will be sworn in today, joined by two more terrific new Governor’s Councillors, Eunice Ziegler & Tanisha Civil, all endorsed by Progressive Democrats of MA. Cheers!
