A year without my brother. Three weeks with my daughter. Wrote about life and death and grief and art and some really great memories.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Just drove by one of those 12-foot skeletons holding a RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES sign.

Ow, the ball hit me. That hurt.

“He’s not bunting, he’s hitting fourth!” If you like the bunt play why would batting order matter? Shut up AJ, learn about run expectancy.

Adam Amin is calling a great game and AJ Pierzynski is going to have a stroke yelling at everyone to bunt.

They should let Ichiro pinch hit. Let’s get crazy.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

This game rules. One of those good ones where you’re glad your team isn’t in it.

Phillies eliminated. Eagles losing to a guy whose first name is spelled Jaxson. The city might burn tonight.

crit @anecdoche.com · 2d

I didn’t really care who won Dodgers Phillies (other than I always want Mookie Betts to be happy because he’s the only perfect human being) and still yelled OH NOOOO at my TV. Horrible way for any series to end.

Sorry my friend. That was brutal.

Wow this is a lot of “my dad said so and he’s the boss, so hmmmph!” Gross.

When anything happens it really doesn’t even matter what the real story is. They (from Twitter trolls right up to the President) are going to make up their version of it, and their fans will eat it up like pigs at the trough and say “thank you sir! more!”

crit @anecdoche.com · 3d

Any long term strategy that involves sacrificing any marginalized group is a non-starter. Not only because they won’t stop there, but it’s the decent and moral thing to do. These are real, innocent humans we’re talking about.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 3d

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Postcard From Chicago: There’s an ICE Facility in My Backyard by @moryan.bsky.social www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Being in this city right now feels like living inside a David Lynch film: Underneath a veneer of normality, something profoundly disturbing lurks, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Or maybe were in a version of Andor, but replace the storm troopers with beefy cops holding long wooden billy clubs. As Alex Lawther's Karis Nemik said on the show, "The empires need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."
