Was at a conference today so it's taking forever to lie awake mentally replaying every single interaction looking for mistakes, vulnerabilities, and regrets.

“Holy shit, he got a New York Times obit?”—my husband, who used to live with Pableaux and yet never cottoned onto the fact that Pableaux Johnson was so widely beloved. Sure, writers, actors, neighbors would appear for dinner, but no one drops names at Johnson’s table. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/d...
Pableaux Johnson, the Heart of New Orleans Hospitality, Dies at 59 (Gift Article)
As a photographer, cook and writer, he united communities through shared meals, vivid storytelling and a deep love of the city’s traditions.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.
Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.
A tale of two justice systems.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

People love to blather on about how we have to abandon CA when something climate-related happens as if anywhere in the world is safe. Climate disasters now happen absolutely everywhere and there is no escaping it. So.

Universal healthcare isn’t just a pipe dream folks. Early human societies thrived by sharing resources and caring for the sick to ensure collective survival. It’s already in your code!

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
