Pretty open and shut here. Democrats won a critical NC supreme court election but corrupt judges on the same court are overturning the result in favor of the loser. How's that work? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time to start posting books again. I’ve sort of lost track of numbers. My favorite fiction author of my teenage years was Ursula LeGuin, middle years, John Fowles, and now Guy Gavriel Kay. All changed me in their own way.

Honestly, with huge tariffs and mass deportations potentially just around the corner, monthly job numbers tell us even less than usual about the economy's future.
