We have been using something called BoxCast, which is probably a big step up from what many use and we haven't used it in a way that makes it worth it, so I am switching us to an iPad.

the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.

I know there are no silver bullets but I’m more and more convinced that letting algorithms choose outcomes for us is what leads us to our worst selves. Especially YouTube’s though. I know parents have a lot to handle, but this is something that requires supervision until boys’ brains stop exploding.

Happy, by Glamper 12 track album

One of my favorite records this year comes from a long-time friend and his really cool bandmates. One of those bandmates, Keith, is an awesome person and excellent musician. Recently, Keith had a brain aneurysm. Today is a great day to help yourself AND Keith by purchasing the LP on Bandcamp Friday.

You know what's wild is that Connecticut's current governor is wildly popular -- the guy who Lieberman lost the nomination to.

Police reports of accidental fentanyl overdose in the field: Correcting a culture-bound syndrome that harms us all

Just saw a news report out of Charleston, SC that a police officer overdosed from touching fentanyl on a dollar bill in the back of a suspect’s car and no she didn’t because this is 100% not possible.

Either she ingested it or she had heat exhaustion.
