It’s not that I’m rejecting modernity, it’s just that I believe a human-sized world that allows for all of our silly foibles is better and more colorful than a machine-predictable future. I write and I row in the PNW.

If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

Jeff Landry is the Governor of Louisiana and Commander in Chief of the Louisiana National Guard.

Landry has zero reason to request Trump deploy the guard in Louisiana.

Zero.

If he wants to deploy the guard he can order it himself.

If you still believe that the oaths those guys swore to the constitution will stop them from firing lethal weapons on US citizens then you are more optimistic than I

It’s the magical thinking;

Pray out loud for things because sound waves create reality.

Say I’m sorry because sound waves change other peoples’ feelings.

Say thank you because sound waves demonstrate and prove your inner thoughts and feelings.

Yes.

After many many years I finally got my US citizenship (expressly to vote in the last election (which may it may not hold a double-meaning).

I now carry my US passport card in my wallet so if I’m stopped I can prove my citizenship immediately. Gosh it sucks that it has now come to that!
