"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." - Valery Legasov, "Chernobyl"

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...
The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

So I was informed via email from FedEx that a package I was expecting would be delivered yesterday between 9:50 a.m. and 1:50 p.m. Nope.
Update: Before 8 p.m. Nope.
Another update: Before the end of the day. Nope.
This morning, another update: Before 8 p.m.
Sigh.

The Dept of Education's plan to downgrade the classification of nursing to "nonprofessional" is the latest step in this regime's attack on women. The move will impact student's ability to receive federal student loans, thus dissuading many from entering the field. Consequences will be widely felt.

Go see Nuremberg: not only will it teach you about the Nazis’ many, many crimes, including the Holocaust which is (rightly) the one thing people know about the Third Reich.

1/ Today I had the pleasure of meeting two very nice veterans. One who has been laid off without pay from the govt job he took after military service. Two tours of duty in Iraq. Now doing food delivery to pay his mortgage and buy groceries for his family.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need.
