The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Heading out of town for interviews.

Made instant buddies with the Uber driver. Will totally hang out.

Then felt weird tipping.

Do we think some people have a certain percentage of daytime hours allotted to simplistic gender-based boolean arguments on unrelated posts?

I cannot convince myself to do scheduled writing time daily. I've been told many times that "this is the way." Yet, it simply doesn't feel it works for me. Instead, I write in clumps. However, I see the need for discipline.

I'm not sure how to add in the discipline without killing the creativity.

I was never on Twitter much; getting used to character limits feels entirely limiting.

They are also simply buzzwords, attacked alongside educational institutions, when it is more important to pay attention to what the people actually want here. They don't understand CRT. So what is it that is actually being challenged? Important to pay attention.

It started with CRT. Now, it's DEI. Are longer acronyms difficult to pick on?

Common denominators, yet the scope broadened.

It wasn't enough to go after anti-racism, now let's throw in all diversity and equity. This means LGBTQ, disabled individuals, etc.
