Once placed third in an apple pie eating contest. War Eagle - lives in Huntsville, Alabama but leans hard left.
Same. I’m reading it now. The chapter on Haiti absolutely floored me.
Just finished reading "Black AF History - The Un-Whitewashed Story of America" by Michael Herriot and can't recommend it highly enough. I knew I got the "Disney" version of history in grade school, but learning the true extent of it was astonishing. We got some 'splainin to do. amzn.to/4bNyUG2

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

Better. You should expect better. And demand it. Cynicism keeps things broken.

My daughter has discovered Chet Baker. I wonder, when he was sitting in Paris in 1955 writing these songs did he think that one day a girl in Alabama would use them to study by?

The eleven year old asked me for an overview of the religions today after school. After I did Buddhism she said ‘I think that’s the one I’ll go with.’
So…there we go. Apparently she’s Buddhist now.

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

My goodness. I love hearing smart people talk. Look at the comments, y’all. It’s all Charlie Brown grownups to me but I so appreciate the passion and knowledge they bring to the table.
This picture is concerning. The planet is much closer to us than I thought.

But don’t you just get so freaking happy when you go into a meat and three and it’s on CNN or, heck, ESPN - just anything besides Foxnews or OAN?
This is on in the restaurant where we’re eating, and I cannot get over the public access aesthetics on display. Clearly there are people who watch this but I really don’t understand why.

It’s a real unearned W for all Gen-Xers that the teens use both “boomer” and “millennial” as shorthand for old people but have completely forgotten about us, the worst generation of them all.

Every year at this hour, we walk down to the marker where the British boats landed on 18 April 1775 (inland now, because the river is narrower) and read the Longfellow poem.
I offered the children the option to walk the British route to Concord in time for the shot, but they declined.

How about letting us know about things we can actually CHANGE that we can worry about?
When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Actually, I’m not defending anything, I am attacking the practice of dumping buckets of jaded misery on moments of goofy joy and I will absolutely die on that hill.
