"As I made my way down the interminable list, the strangest thought occurred to me: What if I really was this fictional person the emails think I am? The kind of woman who buys Daft Punk tickets and eats 'Really Raw Honey, Straight from the Hive?'"

Thanks for saying it out loud: the more we insert AI everywhere, the more we communicate “Hey, it’s okay to avoid the hard things.” I think this point specifically needs more discussion.

"Finally, I had to face the facts. I had tried, and I had failed. We weren’t going to make it to November. We weren’t even going to make it another week. Operation Delta Dog was done."
Please take a moment to read this short post about an incredible man. 💙

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

You want to know what non-compliance looks like? It looks like whatever the hell you want it to look like. It’s not about heroism or martyrdom. It’s about being a magnificent, ungovernable pain in the ass. It’s about weaponizing inconvenience, absurdity, and joy against a system that demands fear and obedience. Throw a wrench in the works—everywhere, all the time. Fill their inboxes with existential poetry. Tape absurd messages in public places: “Authoritarianism gives you hemorrhoids.” Get petty. Get weird. Flush their toilet paper. Release crickets in inconvenient places. Spoil their scripts, trip their rhythm, yank the narrative from their hands. Because here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to hear: authoritarianism only works when the people allow it to work. It’s a performance, a bluff, a collective hypnosis. Break the spell. Mock it. Undermine it with your refusal to kneel. But here’s the thing—this has to be everywhere. Everyone. We need resistance so widespread, so creatively chaotic, so utterly unmanageable, that the regime cracks under the weight of its own overreach. Be bold. Be clever. Be feral. And above all—DO NOT COMPLY.

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

Congratulations to my husband Scott and the rest of the team at Evoloh Inc. for receiving the Bronze Award from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the MassEcon 21st Annual Economic Impact Awards!!! And yes, that is Governor Maura Healey peeking over his shoulder. 😊😊😊

Zion, Zion, Zion. Amazing. It's like walking through a cartoon drawing.

And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome.

Brian Kilmeade: "But I also think it's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people."

What You Do the Day After Your Dog Dies The day of, shock and trauma reign. The day after, something less definable starts to seep between the cracks.

Opinion: There is more than one valid way to be a person President Trump's black-and-white thinking may erase from our society those who have a tremendous amount to give.

Thanks to @pressherald.bsky.social for publishing my take on the destructive power of close mindedness.

Happy Birthday Dad! ❤️

Pleases accept our deepest apologies for the criminally sick old man who hijacked our country by orchestrating a coup…👇

He is an embarrassment to us all.

Sorry.
