old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I’m constantly trying to make sense of the existence of JD Vance.

In the future I think we will all agree the world would be a better place if Elons dad had loved him.

The better angels of our nature need to up their game.

As I have been saying since before the election, the US has out grown its constitution as written. It’s time to start the peaceful process of dividing and reforming.

There was a reason the authors of the constitution wrote you had to have been born in America to be president. I’m thinking the same should apply to controlling media companies, arguably a more powerful job today. Murdoch and Musk do not have our best interests at heart.

The richest man in the world has bought himself a president. Or at least he is leasing one.
