How Are You?

Hey folks. I’m gonna take a break from KDO for the rest the day today (unless we invade Canada this afternoon or something) — I worked for much of last weekend and need a breather.

But I wanted to open up the comments here and ask: How are you doing? What’s your attention on these days? How are you coping with all of this uncertainty? What’s the view from your community? If you’d like to share, the comments are open.

I’ll see you tomorrow, hopefully with some Friday Foolishness.

Glass Onion

I recently rewatched Glass Onion and had a couple thoughts about it. 1. Before settling in to watch, I’d remembered that Edward Norton’s mega-billionaire character Miles Bron bore some resemblance to Elon Musk, but I’d forgotten that the whole plot of the movie revolves a...

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

a book cover that reads 'One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this'

I love the international cover for Omar El Akkad’s new book, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (Bookshop, Amazon). It uses the original text of El Akkad’s tweet about the war in Gaza:

One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

The US cover, like many American things, is somewhat less subtle & elegant.

Doechii Officially Releases Anxiety (the Song, Lol)

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a YouTube video of Doechii singing and rapping about anxiety over Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know from 2019 that was going viral on Insta and TikTok. Well yesterday, Doechii officially released Anxiety as a single, so you can find it on YouTube (though I prefer the original video), Spotify, Apple Music, and anywhere else you stream or buy music.

P.S. Here’s Doechii doing a CATFISH / DENIAL IS A RIVER medley at the Grammys last month:

And of course, you can check out her Tiny Desk Concert too.

Blogging for Democracy

This is a great post from Mike Masnick about why Techdirt is writing more or less full-time about the Trump regime’s attack on democracy: Why Techdirt Is Now A Democracy Blog (Whether We Like It Or Not). I agree with every word of it. One of the points he makes is that medi...

On Public Service

Lisa Re Dale recently retired after 20 years of federal service. She worked for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program (which she says returns 10x on its investment) and wrote about what she did at work and why it matters: I am retiring today after 20 years of fede...
