Out of the hospital now and mostly feeling like I’m recovering from all the inactivity of being in the hospital as much as I’m working on recovering from what had me there.

My stay in the worst hotel continues. Doctor friend came by to say he was here to give me my sponge bath, which I thought was a little cruel not to actually follow up on.
Hanging here for another test and then maybe go home? Which would be nice as I’m almost out of @kbwagers.com books to read.

Delighted to say that my new book of words is out today, in which I explain how ‘sneeze’ was born from a mistake, that ‘window’ is a Viking leftover meaning ‘eye of the wind’, and that the Finns really do have a word for drinking alone in your underwear.

And this isn’t unique to transit folks. Drivers in Metro Detroit will howl about the state of the roads and how bad they are… and then howl again when major maintenance and reconstruction projects start. Like… you can’t have it both ways. Shitty roads or intrusive maintenance, pick one.
The T is a fucking billion years old in transit system terms. It was designed by people who had never done this before. It has *huge* structural problems that you can't undo. It takes sacrifice.
And the people who howl about "not enough transit" are the first ones to scream when the repairs start.

What is this weirdness with the NHL Draft Lottery? Picking random numbers to mean… what?

I realized today that I’m living with a dual fear.
On the one hand, afraid of the pain and suffering in store when all of the evil and chaos being unleashed in the current regime finally causes it all to burn down.
And on the other hand, afraid that “just enough” will again prevail.

The operative word here is "ashes."
Some shit needs to be set on fire first.
Some shit needs to be set on fire first.
America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.
