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

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

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 · 1d

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.

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."

My sources indicate she has already found a new love interest.

Vincent Adultman. He’s a regular, normal, adult male. Obviously. He went to the stock market today. He did a business.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I remember when New Yorkers put up posters in a desperate attempt to locate loved ones after 9/11.

Now they are desperately looking for loved ones disappeared by the government of this country.
