The church a few blocks from my house has a sign that shows a different inspirational message every week. The current one: WHOEVER IS PRAYING FOR SNOW PLEASE STOP.

But his father’s father was expelled from Germany for evading the draft in Bavaria, so he came here. I didn’t know there was a gene for that.

This is a pretty grim comparison, but it has the ring of truth.

Tr*mp has already lost interest in the war he started. He had no plan in the first place, but now that gas prices are going up he wants us to focus on his ballroom drapes.

I’m in NY, but I have two kids on the left coast (Palo Alto and Portland), so I pay a lot of attention to the Cascadia subduction zone. I’ve read the New Yorker article (β€œThe Really Big One”) several times and will read β€œCascadia’s Fault” next. Oy vey.

If they use anyone’s power and poison anyone’s water, that’s not OK.

Neither construction creates many jobs.

So far they’re not constructing, as far as I know β€” just buying old warehouses. They’re planning to store humans in them.

Doodlebugs, when I was growing up on Long Island, NY.

I’m thinking today of all the people who were sure that our military would never obey illegal orders.

Come and take some of ours. In northern Westchester County, NY (north of NYC), we’re living in 28” of permafrost.

That’s a lot of people’s lives badly hurt or destroyed.

I pause the TV for an hour, and then I can fast-forward through the fifteen minutes of ads per hour for four hours.

There’s always been lots of eminent domain abuse in the US. It really took off around the 1950s when the government decided it could take property to benefit a private entity for β€œredevelopment,” e.g., when the property was β€œblighted” or harmed the interests of other property owners.

Nobody wants big data centers in their neighborhood. Nobody wants concentration camps in their neighborhood, either. What’s a big resource-sucking company to do??

We need someone with an advanced degree in unscrambling omelets and putting toothpaste back in tubes.

Much better than the long, tedious, deranged version.

Do all government employees realize that they must refuse to follow illegal orders?
