Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

Loving the third Google review of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland

Three reviews of vineland:
(five stars): I really enjoyed this origami of a story. There are tender & sweet sections, steamy sections, and plain ol' weird sections. Every dog has his day, but, if you're a good dog, you just ...

one star: I gave up on this book about half way through.
While give Pynchon credit for a lot of imagination,it is a disjointed mess! I think author must have been on Hallucinogenics. It skips ...

five stars: Vangie always delivers excellent, fast, And friendly service! Vineland never disappoints for a nice glass of wine and a bite to eat!

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

No inflation was actually high and once prices are up and interest rates are up people simply do not appreciate prices rising less steep.
