We have always been a society that has revered the rich. I’ve never quite understood that, but that’s who we are.
Trump and Musk are a symptom of that.

If you have not yet watched #Brockmire, please get on it. It’s hilarious yet thought-provoking. It’s also frighteningly relatable for me.

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

A man who was beaten on Jan 6th and whose mother had a bag of shit thrown at her in her own yard is getting an order of protection for his family’s safety.
Those orders aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Almost every time they’re only enforced after they’ve been violated.

I am going back to the ways of my youth when it comes to just about everything. Indie bookstores, record stores and pretty much everything else. No more Amazon. No more digital music.
Gonna use my library card!

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.
But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.
We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Just had to post this because it seems so appropriate for anyone in DC right now.

I am not surprised at all. The original show, to me; is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. It’s nearly impossible, though, to recapture the absolute magic that the original cast brought to the screen.

Making the decision to leave that Book of Faces feels like I imagine it would feel to decide to leave the Church of Scientology or some other cult.
