Favorite books I read in 2025: number 4

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

My mom recommended this one to me and I really enjoyed it. I still think about Marcellus often. 🐙

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

This accurately describes his behavior. If/when we ever get power back, we need to massively reinvent our government.
The Trump Doctrine is, essentially: “Who’s gonna stop you?”

And some people were worried electing a woman for president.
They should be terrified with Trump and Hegseth now.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Another page out of the Nazi playbook, Trump now wants to weaponize the ability to take away citizenship.

Crowded ICE detention centers will only continue to get filled. we know the goal of these camps, letting history repeat itself will only lead to regrets. now is the time to organize. Fuck ICE

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On a personal note.

I knew Rob Reiner & his lovely wife Michelle. One of my happiest memories was chatting with them in their kitchen, making sandwiches talking politics, and movies.

They were kind people. Extraordinarily normal and very, very kind.

I love & miss them already.
Life is short.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

MK and I cherish the time that we got to spend with Rob and Michele Reiner — we were devastated to learn of their passing.

Titans of the industry in every sense, the Reiners' legacy is secured through works of art that impacted generations.

May their memories be a blessing.

The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.

Only criminals attack the innocent. ICE agents abusing power should be arrested, and so should the man who gave them their orders.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.
