Veteran of the Great Seattle Diaspora of 2000. Also the Great Toronto Diaspora of 1954 (genetically speaking). Syracuse > Bellingham > Seattle > Adamant (VT). Getting kinda old, but apparently never retiring.
As predicted, everything is icing up here (Adamant, Vermont). Cars will crash, people will fall down in parking lots. Or we could all just stay home.

Meanwhile, today the White House unveiled a waste of taxpayer dollars called the “Presidential Walk of Fame,” which is inane, embarrassing, and infuriating in equal measure. (NYT)

Dual US/Canada here. If these performative assholes think this will bind me to the US, they’re wrong. I’m halfway out the door already.
On December 1, 2025, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025. The bill would prohibit any person from simultaneously holding U.S. citizenship and citizenship of another country.
Sen. Moreno’s Bill Seeks to End Dual Citizenship in U.S.
The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would prohibit holding US citizenship and that of another country. Failure to renounce results in automatic loss of US citizenship.

Now that the boundaries of election fraud have been clarified, go-getter Gavin Newsom is placing classified ads in all media markets to hire fake electors, and he’s asking in advance that 11,780 votes be found for him in each state to be set aside in an envelope marked “Gavin”.

I fund Antifa every year during the holiday season, right there on their website. Sometimes I even write them a small check in the summer, when their nice young canvassers come by. Last year I funded them enough that I got a tote bag! FUN FACT! Did you know Antifa stands for ANTI - FASCIST? Love it!

Make it make sense.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable."

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
