We have become a nation of sheeple at the mercy of those most greedy among us. Falling victim to corporate greed, political ambition, and the lust for power has become common and is destroying us from within. Heroes needed!

This is a far from controversial take, but Muppet’s Christmas Carol is sublime - as Muppet movie, Dickens adaptation and as a Christmas film. It never fails to move and delight, even after the thousandth rewatch. Stick it on a gold disc and launch it into space.

The rule of law depends on our constant vigilance.
Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

American democracy has stage 4 cancer. We had a chance, with this election to administer massive doses of radiation, but instead, chose palliative care.
