Well, two days until municipal elections here in Chicagoland. Make sure you vote. Today's tea party library board trustee could be tomorrow's Ted Cruz.

This should not be posed by journalists as cost-cutting measure. This is an attempt to gut civil rights enforcement across the federal government and therefore across American life. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan
Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

Today's episode of the @nytimes.com Daily podcast discussed the Kendrick v. Drake beef. I enjoyed it, along with the question of authenticity. I'm hoping @kendricklamar.bsky.social takes the Bob Dylan at Newport Folk Fest route and pivots. Not Like Us is his Blowin' In the Wind. He's more than that.

A Complete Unknown reminds me that talented people often don't know or care why they can do what they do. They just do it. On the other hand, Inside Llewellyn Davis portrays a talentless loser who should undergo self-examination but doesn't and forges on regardless. Maybe that's why I love that film

Reading some of the analysis of current events, I'm reminded of a quote from Succession: "The money wins. The money always wins."
That's how it feels now. But our fate is not bound to a system that reduces our worth to how much we own. Shiv Roy was wrong: the money will not win forever.

New Year's resolution was listen to more St. Vincent. For some reason, I never could get into her. After listening to her first three albums a few times and then the collab with David Byrne, I think I'm getting it. Side note: is David Byrne the David Lynch of music? They have a similar mien—quirky.

The weaponization of America's most powerful prosecution agency, the Department of Justice, has begun. The rule of law, a bedrock of our democracy, is on shaky ground.

Listening to some of Trump's rambling speech on public radio has me wondering what Putin might be thinking. He must be salivating, thinking how he'll play Trump the way Putin played Yeltsin when Yeltsin was drunk half the time.

I watched the film Master and Commander last night and was struck by the themes of honor and duty. It seems they're classist, feudal values connected to toxic masculinity. Still, the concepts of self-sacrifice and persistence are good, right? How do we bring that back without making it so gendered?

Ashli Babbitt was shot for endangering the lives of members of Congress. It wasn’t a peaceful bunch of grandmas. It was a violent insurrection.

Lots of end-of-the-year lists going on as always this time of year. The most entertaining one I've heard or seen is from today's episode of City Cast Chicago. They discussed Chicago's most viral moments. Check it out if you need a chuckle: megaphone.link/CC9775760731

I saw an Abba tribute band last night @115BourbonSt. They rocked my favorite Abba song, Lay All Your Love On Me. Its diva-esque, desperate quality pairs well with its creepy lover vibe. Is the creepy lover song still a thing in pop music? The Police's Every Breath You Take is one. Some others are...

What is democracy? It is the rule of law. Respect for a process that produces decisions. Decisions which earn legitimacy undergoing the process that we all decided a long time ago was fair: that no one person's interests are above that process. Power from a fair process, not from deceit and force.

If AI could pick—with 100 percent accuracy—the best person to be leader, would we be ok with abandoning the ballot? Is this analogous to the God v. free will paradox? Do people even care about free will anymore? I think about it often. If only Søren Kierkegaard were still around.

Why you should serve on a jury: when's the last time you tried to persuade someone—face-to-face—without the benefit of love or money? Convincing family or friends is based on love. Getting a deal done is about money. When's the last time you didn't have either to influence someone with your ideas?

People who study these things (experts) say that this is the most efficient way to give money: just give the money. People know how to spend it on their needs and goals without all the overhead that comes with giving to a charity. So, this Giving Tuesday consider @give-directly.bsky.social
