A Bloom County comic by Berke Breathed. The characters are watching a TV showing all sorts of terrible news. They turn it off and walk into a field and sit under a tree in a patch of dandelions. The text reads "Mass Dandelion Break."

This album always hits me like an emotional metric fuckton of bricks.

POV: You are a coworker of mine.
Me (balding, glasses, wearing a salmon and white check shirt) sitting in my office. The door behind me is open. Over my left shoulder are blueprint-like renderings of Wrigley Field and books. Over my right shoulder are my diplomas and board games (visible games include Dominion, The Castles of Burgundy, and Azul).

With Dick Cheney dying, time to bring this back - something I wrote in 2007:

thinkingorsitting.blogspot.com/2007/10/war....
To all of those who beat the drums for war - to those vile souls who still think that somehow blowing up bombs validates our national manhood and is something to swagger about. To those whose bloodlust for those who differ from themselves in heritage, or belief, or place of birth and drag us all along on their gruesome crusades. To those who would sacrifice other lives, American or not, in the name of greed and power. To George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, and Colin Powell, and George Tenet, and Alberto Gonzalez, and Rush Limbaugh, and William Kristol, and Bill O'Reilly, and the whole gang over at Fox News, and the Corner at the National Review, and the rest of the 29-percenters who refuse to see what harm they bring to the world every time they speak. To all of you, I wish I believed in a heaven and a hell, and an afterlife where, in a just universe, those who have suffered for your ill words and ill deeds would spend eternity in paradise and where you would burn with the horrible wounds, the crippling nightmares, and the tragic devastation of lives forever changed by your deeds for a time out of time, beyond the death of the universe, spending forever in a cataclysm of pain for a crime for which there is no atonement.

It’s telling that the corruption is so bad right now that @hcrichardson.bsky.social doesn’t get to Trump asking the Justice Department to pay him $230M until the 17th paragraph of today’s newsletter.
7:35 ₫ October 21, 2025 く Devlin Barrett and Tyler Pager of the New York Times reported today that Trump is demanding that the Department of Justice hand over about $230 million to compensate him for investigating the ties between his 2016 campaign and Russian operatives and for violating his privacy by searching Mar-a-Lago for classified documents in 2022. Trump filed the claims in 2023 and 2024. Now his own appointees will decide whether the American taxpayers should pay the compensation Trump wants. When Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about the demand tonight, Trump answered that media outlets had paid him settlements because "what they did was wrong. And, you know, when somebody does what's wrong-now, with the country, it's interesting, because I'm the one that makes a decision, right? And, you know, that decision would have to go across my desk, and it's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. In other words, did you ever have one of those cases where you have to decide how much you're …

He compromises on behalf of others with people he is too cowardly to truly oppose even rhetorically, and he can't even really articulate that the reason why he is doing this is that he is too afraid and too self-regarding to do otherwise.
