It's bitter cold this morning,
but I saw an easter bluebird
and a gray squirrel.
My nannyberry bushes,
toothy with coming leaves,
have lost their winter-smooth silhouettes.
I can feel the world moving on.
Just beneath the soil's surface
the dandelions are losing patience
with the dark.

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host docs securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing.

Someone emailed me about the DEI column asking if I was aware that "no other country … emphasizes DEI efforts quite like the U.S.?"
Uh, well, show me a country with a similarly diverse population and a few centuries of forcing one racial group into involuntary servitude and we can discuss.

Important tip to anyone living in New Jersey: an N95, KN95, or KF94 filter mask will protect you from the Drone Spores. Wear one anytime you're in a crowded space and you'll be a lot less likely to develop the Mysterious Cough.
Y'all, people in New Jersey are getting sick from just reading about the drones

There is no bigger fiction in American life than the idea that “government just needs to run like a business.”
