Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…
Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it.
It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who's noticed that ever since trump took over, planes are falling out of the sky, measles and tuberculosis on the rise, billionaires are getting richer, but egg prices are higher than ever.
This administration is DEI as fuck.

I’ll do all but the walk, it’s single digits this weekend. Fireplace and whiskey for me.
It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

For the love of all that’s holy, please PLEASE be like Finland
While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

"The traditional way of flooding hundreds of millions of dollars through a cartel of ad consultants is not working. If Democrats want to be an opposition party — if they’re not going to just roll over — you need to be getting your message out there all the time." — @ryanlcooper.com
How Democrats can win the messaging war
"Liberals trust the mainstream media — foolishly, I think. The trust is not deserved," Ryan Cooper tells us.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
