I’m not Christian in any conventional sense, but I love this thought in John 9:3:
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him.”
A good thought whenever I behold something needing fixing.

Quiet demonstration today. The annual Peak into Peterborough events conflicted with No Kings, so we had maybe half the demonstrators we had in June. (We had nowhere to park!) But more notable was the absence of counterprotestors. No flag-flying monster trucks. Just honking supporters.

I love Slate but this is the second podcast to wonder what Trump has against renewable energy. People, he told energy companies he’d give them whatever they wanted if they’d donate enough money to his 2024 campaign. And they want no competition. This seems easy.

This book is amusing and entertaining me. And goddammit if every now and then it isn’t giving me something to think about.

Let’s just put this out there:
Sarah Schulman quotes Sadir Shafi – “Think about what you can do, not what you can lose.”

“I’m voting for Donald Trump because he’s a successful businessman who knows how to boost the economy.”

I’ve tried to mollify some anger against Chuck Schumer by noting, as he notes, that Democrats could not contest DOGE decisions in federal courts if the government shut down. Nobody cares. But as time goes on, we *might* be glad we have the courts.
