Lunatic-in-chief. Tractors handle lighting. Anything. Except wind from windmills. And birds. Tractors can't handle birds. Space lasers are bad for tractors, too. Terrible.

True. DEI is the antithesis of Jim Crow, and some people would argue it's the antidote. Thanks for your reply. I love your columns.

I like about 90% of what you write (and I'm a liberal Democrat), but I have a question. You wrote, "Those diversity, equity, and inclusion policies will not be missed by many of us... " What about DEI do you dislike? Jim Crow laws were the antithesis of DEI.

Buy the books.
Buy the movies.
Buy the games.
Physical media is more important now than ever.

This is Donald Trump. It's who he is as a person, and once again as our president. It's the Republican Party as he remade it, the people who elected him (twice), and the dominant political culture of our nation. It's ugly, shameful, and embarrassing.

The only reason to oppose DEI is to protect white, male, straight privilege and discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ people in employment and education.

I've studied and taught history since the 1970s. Donald Trump is more ignorant, corrupt, unhinged, and dangerous than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or any other leader ever. I'm doing my best to ignore him. I'm tempted to withdraw from social media entirely and focus on my personal wellness and family.

Never forget. Cadet Bonespurs, Liar-and-thief Donnie Dump, is a coward who insults our troops. He's also a fool. Wait and see: the tariffs he's threatening, combined with deportation of alien labor, will wreck our economy and send inflation soaring.

Kudos to Gen. Jennie Carignan, Canadian military commander, for calling out patriarchal, misogynistic Republicans who are questioning the appropriateness of women serving in combat roles.

It's a show of affection that's common to some breeds. I have Great Pyrenees. They never lick people.

Hope in December 2021. While she and Faith were born and lived together, Hope developed a very different personality: shy, polite, and never aggressive. She's always a good girl.

This photo from 23 November 2021 shows Faith's personality: clever, ornery, bold, and fiesty. She was not at all shy like her sister, Hope. Whenever the two of them got into trouble, Faith was always the instigator. πŸ˜€
