Not always in that order, but always at the same time. Sorry in advance for all of the pics of dogs, my kid, food, and socks.

Living in America this year has felt a lot like riding shotgun in a Toonces skit. “What could go wrong?”

He wants to rename Veterans Day to Victory Day.
It was an Armistice. A ceasefire. It wasn’t a victory.
America was barely involved.
He’s just so glaringly dumb.

I’m admittedly VERY late to Wordle.

To the truck bobbing and weaving through traffic, with your matching blue lives matter, Punisher skull, and MAGA stickers… as much as you want it to be 1940s Germany, it’s not. This is the Florida turnpike, not the autobahn. Slow down.
Signed, a guy just trying to safely transport his family.

Is he golfing this weekend? I would encourage every single person who is able to stand outside and ruin his game and day. He should not get to ever enjoy himself when putting us through misery.

DONT SLEEP: we are bogged down with tariff worries, and to be clear, it is crushingly bad.
But don’t forget, next week, Congress will vote on the SAVE act, designed to remove voting rights for almost 70 million Americans (women, military, trans, etc). This is a RED ALERT.

Nobody was as unflappably cool as Val Kilmer. Top Gun, Tombstone, Real Genius, Top Secret!, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang just to name a few off the top of my head. I also cannot listen to the Doors without thinking of him. Absolute legend.

Me after my 5am workout: “yeah I’ll take a box of thin mints…”
Guy behind the counter: “sir those are energy drinks.”
Me: “…so no Tagalongs either?”

Love that ProPublica used the German word “blitz” to describe a sweeping action by this man. They could have said “slew” or “barrage” or even “onslaught”, but when faced with a language choice, they evoked the Nazis.
Sorry I got a word-of-the-day calendar for Hanukkah.

Remember: they’re overwhelming you and that’s the goal. It’s all noise, day in and day out. They want you confused, frustrated, and giving up.
Stay calm. Set news boundaries. Pick trusted sources to aggregate and synthesize stories. Pick 2-3 issues to focus on. Take breaks. Process with friends.

I know it’s selfish of me to say, but I am just grateful I’m no longer teaching civics/government. From 2017-2021, my job was choking back screaming, while teaching through clenched teeth, saying “yeah, no… that is weird what he did…. Yeah you’re right, he shouldn’t be allowed to do that…”

80 years ago, my grandfather, a first generation American Jew, risked life and limb to help liberate concentration camps.
Yesterday, the commander in chief couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge the Holocaust. He was too busy stripping rights and rounding up people.
I can’t stand this.
