A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
And he makes an unbearable din

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god

the Big Beautiful Bill is extremely unpopular, fiscally disastrous, callous and cruel and devastating to Americans in need. And still we have national Democrats out on the Sunday morning TV shows criticizing their own party's mayoral candidate.

A real wakeup call. Something's gotta give.

I wrote about it and about him, about the hellscape we’re in, and about trying to be hopeful.
