Mens et manus, indeed. Relieved that my alma mater still thinks for itself.

Finished my 50th book of the year last week, not counting re-reads & books I abandoned unfinished. Most new books I've read in 3 years in an effort to avoid doomscrolling.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

The right ignored the murder of the Minnesota House Speaker by a guy who had a hit list of Democrats he was targeting to flip control of the chamber to Republicans.

Asked about that assassination today, the president said he didn't know who she was and a Fox host said he didn't care she was killed.

My favorite kicker completed a pass for a first down conversion on a fake punt, made his field goal and PAT, AND has better politics, too. #RepThePrep

A football team in black uniforms is lined up for a field goal attempt against a team in white and green uniforms. They are playing under the lights on a blue field.

Just got our kids' bus info for the new school year. The high school starts at 7:20am.
Our kid is assigned a bus route that picks him up at 5:35am.
He is supposed to be at the bus stop at 5:25am.
Driving to the school takes 15 minutes.
