GenX white dude all in for a solid, diverse group of Millennials running things. My cohort obviously was no better than the previous couple generations.

Ugh this is so sad. Maybe not her most powerful, but to me, her most moving poem is this one

Tom Cox on Substack I mistyped an email sign off as โ€œall the beesโ€ instead of โ€œall the bestโ€. I reckon Iโ€™m going to stick with it. I canโ€™t think of anything negative that can possibly come of wishing someone all the bees...

He was a great support to me in my own times of trouble. One of those uncommon people who became wiser and more empathetic as he aged. Thank you, Colonel. We didn't listen to your generation, so It's our turn to fight the fascists now. You saw it coming, as did I.

A man who grew up poor in rural Eastern Tennessee, was promoted from private to bird colonel, became something of a financial whiz, unlearned his racism and misogyny, and quit drinking, but still played a mean game of golf and bridge.

He went on to provide Medical Administration support in newly liberated West Germany, and saw a lot of things I don't know how he lived with. He died at almost 101, cogent until the last few months.

Or, in some circles in the Great Lakes region, specifically regarding either a skin rash or a persistent cough, "the Vargas". Which sounds Latin-ish enough.

Chinese ship Yi Peng

Chinese ship Yi Peng

Investigators have found that a Chinese commercial ship Yi Peng deliberately cut two critical data cables by dragging its anchor across the Baltic for over 100 miles.

The Russian captain is now under investigation to determine if he was working for Russian intelligence. #opcanary

Itโ€™s okay to be rude to people who want you to die

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: 

"I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren't you, 
For the world to become good 
And beautiful and kind? 
Let us take a knife 
And cut the world in two -- 
And see what worms are eating 
At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

Looking through Trumpโ€™s nominees my first reaction is that Pauley Shore is really getting left out here. Not fair.
