The most tragic form of loss
isn't the loss of security.
It's the loss of the capacity
to imagine that things
could be different.

Columbus bragged in letters about raping 9-year-old girls & selling them into slavery.

So of course, Trump is using him to replace Indigenous Peoples' Day,
calling Columbus the "first American hero."

Maybe he can rename it, Trump-Epstein-Columbus Day. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

If you’re a parent of a Special Education student & voted for trump, you’re about to find out. Your schools & programs are going to be either eliminated or extremely underfunded. We warned you & now your child will lack the resources they had and need. You literally voted against your own child!

Deforestation and climate change have pushed the Amazon rainforest toward a tipping point. If crossed, it will lose its ability to regenerate and turn into a savanna.
The Math of Climate Change Tipping Points | Quanta Magazine
Tipping points in our climate predictions are both wildly dramatic and wildly uncertain. Can mathematicians make them useful?

Olivia Hussey's face

which is why I've referred to it
so frequently in videos

I borrowed my cousin's 8-track of Selling England and played it incessantly for the next 3 months whilst driving to gigs in a disintegrating '71 Ford Econoline with a leaky gas tank.
