I have a stone on my desk at work, an old soul whose edges have been smoothed out by the waters of the Timpanogos (Provo) River.

I use it to prop open the pages of books that I quote in my writing.

But sometimes I pick it up and ask, what have you learned from the books on my library shelves?

My alarm goes off at 0530.

I'm on the bus a little after 0700.

One of my colleagues, another early riser, greets me at 0745.

By 0830, students begin to filter in and out of my classroom with questions or jokes. Gen Z humor is weird, at times delightful.

Bell rings at 0900.

I am nostalgic for a time when solidarity felt intuitive but not for the conditions that made it feel intuitive. We shouldn’t have to wait for corporations to become oligarchies before we remember why labor unions are necessary.

I do not think Musk actually believes in the ideology behind that salute.

He just couldn't help himself. He loves being the tech bro provocateur who owns the libs. And he knew the salute would cause liberals to lose their minds.

The problem is the actual fascists who see it and feel validated.

The oligarchy inaugurated right before our very eyes.
