“There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute. Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions.”
At nine years old, that quote from Jean-Luc Picard didn’t just turn me into a #Trekkie. It nudged me toward the story I’d finally finish decades later: Resonance.

#Bears fans still don't know if Ben Johnson will be a good HC hire, but at least he's not a half-lobotomized, acronym-spitting, football cliche machine. I was impressed by his intelligence and thoughtful answers at his presser today. Definitely set a tone. I'm optimistic, even if it's cautiously so.

An interesting list of states that (appropriately) sued to block Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s EO designed to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Notably absent is Illinois. Seeing Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and North Carolina is interesting too given their swing state status
