Red sky at morning, sailors take warning…”
This beautiful morning sky felt rather ominous as in the distance, there was the low mechanical grinding and growling, unseen machines preparing for road work.

And the forgot the first rule of Fight Club...
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Robert Altman asked his teenage son to write the lyrics to the song "Suicide is Painless" for the M*A*S*H movie and wanted them to be "very stupid," but
"The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway"
...is still one hell of a couple of lines.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.
The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

A week inside the opaque court where CT immigrants learn their fate
The courtroom often resembles an assembly line, with many cases taking less than five minutes.

They want to be Aragorn and Edgin when in reality they’re Wormtongue and Forge.
Musk and others on the far right are obsessed with things like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons because they see fantasy worlds as reinforcing their own beliefs about immutable hierarchies of race, gender, and by extension morality www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I just brought this up the other day: “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, high school summer reading. It resonated with me, growing up working class first gen child to immigrant working in construction who was out of the house before 6 am, returning covered in dust.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
