I really need to figure out the right way to get this poem tattooed on me because it has gotten me out of the hole that is not my grave entirely too many times and I think everyone needs to read it this week billmoyers.com/story/poetry...
Poetry Month: WHAT RESEMBLES THE GRAVE BUT ISN’T - BillMoyers
Always falling into a hole, then saying “ok, this is not your grave, get out of this hole,” getting out of the hole which is not the grave...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
Bridget with The Beatles on Abbey Road. Bridget hanging out in Grant Wood's American Gothic. Bridget in Bruegel's Hunters In The Snow (with a freshly caught mouse). The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

One of the things about the time Trump, et al ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office is Trump kept telling him, "you don't have the cards." He truthied this about China today, what do I see here? Zelensky doesn't have "cards" & China "played it wrong"? A telling "game" metaphor.
Trump: “You’re, right now, not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position –”

Zelenskyy: “From the very beginning of the war —”

Trump: “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.”

Zelenskyy: “I’m not playing cards. I’m very serious, Mr. President. I’m very serious.”

Trump: “You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III.” trump truthie: CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED--THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

🧵I think there are many members of Congress who either don't understand, or don't care to understand, how central it is to their job description to show representational leadership even if there's few to no good policy outcomes that can result.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Anyone get transferred from Blue Cross to Regence when the state switched over last year? Anyone all of a sudden having a lot of basic, run of the mill claims denied on what seem like absurd grounds? Just curious
