About that government shutdown: Remember that Republicans control the House of Representatives. They control the Senate. And the White House. The radical republican right is in complete control. The shutdown is entirely their doing. Don’t let them duck responsibility.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

I'm using AI in my work today. I get pleasure when it (seemingly) works; I get even more pleasure when I ask it to suggest how my instructions could have been clearer.

I read a good book recently. The Future of Another Timeline, by io9 founder Annalee Newitz. I picked it up due to its title, and found a great, engaging story about time travel and gender/reproductive issues, with a fascinating twist in... well, the middle, actually.

Might be getting on time for folks to know about the 3.5% rule.
The 3.5% rule is a theory proposed by political scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan. It says that a dictatorial regime falls nearly every time that 3.5% or more of a population participates in *sustained* nonviolent protest.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

I'm happy to see that s3 of Invincible is out. I'm a big fan of the original comic. It's a smart retelling and deconstruction of superhero stories, and it's a grand story that's distinct, interesting, and touching. A warning, though, it's ultra-violent; I highly recommend, if you can stomach that.

I found today's NYT "Letter Boxed" puzzle to be harder than usual today. I'd be curious to hear what words people used. (I'll post mine in a bit.)

"But if we don’t do this, we have given up our country anyway to an authoritarian takeover. So we have little to lose."
We’re careening toward a constitutional crisis, where the executive branch may refuse to obey federal court orders to stop their illegal actions with departments and agencies. So what now? Read my write-up: https://buff.ly/3QbkDZx
