This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

First bevel ever. Used a Temple Tools ryoba and my Veritas jack. Took at least an hour.
Front jaw of a Moxon vise I’m making. Walnut and maple.
Maple is such a pain in the ass but I keep using it for everything.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

In some ways Johnson feels worse than even Trump and Vance, who are just a narcissistic criminal and a narcissistic striver, respectively. They may be awful people but they still feel human. Johnson feels like a walking representation of the uncanny valley, like a ski suit being operated by ants.

Actually giving everyone learning accommodations would remove both the burden and the stigma of seeking them from anyone who needs them, and would be a big positive step in education policy, just like free school lunch helps all kids and all their families. Gatekeeping hurts everyone.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

This is a wild, disturbing, & generally fantastic story & if you're voting on awards please give it a read/listen.
It's December and people are reading for awards.
I only had one publication this year, and it's about loneliness and gender and sexual assault and girlhood and Americana and carnivorous plants.
