Y'all. I may be smoking the hopium, but this report struck me with an energy about the future that I haven't felt in a while. Read it, if you haven't already. Contact your reps (which in Tennessee feels useless, but still, do it).
And in #TN07, please vote for Aftyn Behn on Tuesday, December 1st!!

Anyone else feel the need to make a timeline chart with swimlanes and milestones to plan their Thanksgiving prep-cook-dress-serve system? Or, if you like your time vertical, I suppose an old Gantt chart would do.
Just me? Yeah, just me nerding.

OK that historical drama about Charles Guiteau and James Garfield was pretty good.

Man, a year ago we were making hot dish and curry, wearing pearls and plaid, and watching TikToks of Republican women casting early voting ballots for the candidates their husbands wouldn’t want them to.
Something very strange and wrong happened on election night. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but 🤷🏻♂️.

Reading through the list of corporate sponsors of the Abominable Ballroom™️ (via the venerable @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s daily letter), and I feel trapped. How to extricate oneself from Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon completely? I could attempt in my personal life, but at work? All embedded.

Mandela effect moment: listening to Steely Dan’s “Glamour Profession” for the umpteenth time and he (Donald F) goes “6:05, outside the stadium”
And I could swear that it was “*behind* the stadium” all this time.
More importantly: Rest in power, Anthony Jackson.

Exact same reaction here. Also, the iOS push notification from @nytimes.com said “posing potential ethical conflicts.”

Oh man. Susan Stamberg and Ace Frehley? These are foundational figures from my youth. Susan more so than Ace, if we’re being honest. But still.
May they rest in eternal peace.
