So I've been looking for work since January. Keep interviewing and applying and applying and interviewing and getting nowhere, and my money reserves are well and truly gone. If you can help, or share, please do.

Jewish American lawyer Samuel Leibowitz, who represented the Scottsboro Boys, in 1933 said, "I am going down there to fight the battle of 14 million colored Americans, and I am going down there to fight for my people because Hitlerism in Germany is Hitlerism in the South only by a different name."

#WolffBites: When past empires suffered economic decline (as all eventually did) and they lost political power, they often desperately tried military power to reverse the empire's decline. It never worked.

The old political Machines did not run on mutual aid. They did not serve as a third place for likeminded people and idealogues. They primarily delivered forms of patronage and graft, and when we made that illegal they fell apart. I swear to god some of you people need to read a book or two

On a snowy moonless night, hike deep into the mountain woods and lay your bait—a sirloin steak bound against your bare leg. Sit under the tree where the raven croaks. Await the beast that stalks out of the cold night to fasten its teeth into your leg, worrying at the flesh. THAT IS YOUR DOG. (1/2)

You guys ever think about how he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty?
![46 And Mary[a] said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked with favor on the lowly state of his servant.
Surely from now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name;
50 indeed, his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones
and lifted up the lowly;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
54 He has come to the aid of his child Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l7dv56pncekkg4atin4vomf6/bafkreigwlhj7s45nlz5zjcdskhrxnnpdmi7kpvqkklbnkrjenjcltdetfm@jpeg)

I know a couple people who made a minor fortune on dot coms, and who then just quit tech and started doing weird stuff that brought them joy. They just didn’t need any more money than they had.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Obviously they can’t get Trump to help, but I actually think it’s very clever politicking to lobby RFK and emphasize that these are traditional foods, because you know what he’s like about those. Dude went away gushing about removing dams and helping the salmon run.

Okay, this causes me physical pain to say, but RFK is (for once) not actually being a total weirdo here. He’s a guest of the Nez Perce at a fish hatchery. The Pacific lamprey and the salmon are culturally important to the Nez Perce people, and they are lobbying to remove dams from the Snake River.
