I’ve had two people come to me asking questions about Hadestown before they went to see it, so I’m very clearly building my brand

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

This is a wildly irresponsible headline by NBC News (that I discovered via chyron on our local news channel over lunch). Greenland can’t “cost as much as $700 billion”, because it’s not for sale! Could post “Buying a unicorn could cost $700 billion” because both are equally possible!

The irony of this moment was my favorite part of the movie by far.

This Mississippi trip seems rougher this year - loneliness is hitting very hard, plus the twins need a lot of attention. But the kids are having a good Christmas, and I’m powering through. Might even get back to running in the morning if I can swing the time.

Happy "Wake Up Dead Man is on Netflix Now Day" to all who celebrate!
(It's me, I'm celebrating. You probably should too, I can't shut up about it.)

While I like Verstappen, I think it’s good for him and the sport if his margin losing the world championship is smaller than what he lost by throwing away points hitting Russell earlier this season. #F1

I have truly enjoyed this #F1 season, and I’m also not going to miss waking up early or timing some Sunday mornings around race time for a while. :)

Just saw an early release of Wake Up Dead Man, the next Knives Out movie. That may genuinely be one of my favorite movies of all time. It won’t be everyone’s, but I think it’s one of mine.
I’ll have a lot more to say as I process it, ponder on it, and see it again…but that was truly phenomenal.

I wasn’t present for when the car hit 400k miles, but I am reliably informed that my daughter took this picture, and not the driver. ;) (And she cut off the last digit, so it looks like it’s only 40k miles, but I assure you this Prius has seen more adventures than that!)

If I posted on Facebook for people to see what Trump said about Kirk’s murder, the Enlightened Centrists I know would scold me for politicizing the tragedy, and reserve nary a word for what the President of the United States is doing.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

if we made immigration work how people think it works that would be the biggest liberalization of immigration in American history
Thinking on this point and there really is maybe a golden opportunity in the near future to make immigration radically simpler. Clear out the queues, make green cards easier, etc. Public opinion is sort of pro immigration right now and it might only go up
3. However, this leads to centering punishing ICE rather than helping immigrants (through regularization of status, increasing visa quotas, etc.). There are viral posts here about the need to prosecute ICE members after Trump leaves office. There aren't any about giving immigrants green cards.
