Congress needs to reclaim its rightful role in declaring war. We all know this and yet somehow we’ve let one man control far too much. 🇺🇸

Podcast: Why men hate the Dems. I tell my perspective of MeToo, and how that imho created enough anti-Dem energy to push Trump over the top. Polls won't tell you how the Dems got the rep of being the party run by women to cancel men, but I'm sure if we could cure that somehow, we could do everything we need to do to get American democracy working again. I did this in response to a Frum podcast where he and his guest conclude that the young folks are making a big mistake, they don't want the same old bullshit people coming back into power. Frum and Miller thought that the young men don't want was democracy, foolishly (I would agree) but there is real anger there, I know about it because I have it too. I still vote for Dems, but I also fear what happens if we snap back to the political correctness of Kirsten Gillibrand.

BTW, I know Al Franken is an idiot. We're all idiots.

Last day of early voting in Texas. Looking at my sample ballot and got super confused for a minute reading the propositions… A few of them are strange, then realized I was accidentally looking at the Republican side. 🤪
I’ve been critical of Instagram forever, and stopped posting on principle 9 years ago, but still it’s good to see Meta’s new work on alerting parents to a teen’s search about self-harm. The way Meta is handling this seems reasonable. Might’ve saved lives if it was in place years ago.
When I write a comment on someone else's blog I want it to automatically be on my blog. It should just appear to be on theirs, the original and only copy of the writing appears on mine. A truly distributed system.
