Something unsettling happened at a local elementary school this week. Now's the time to have those tough conversations about personal safety at home. Continue reading…

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Faked symptoms still point to infections that antibiotics don't treat.

Great Art Explained: Henri Matisse’s The Red Studio. “Even Matisse wasn’t entirely sure what he had created and nobody wanted to buy it.”

A win for accountability! The federal judge overseeing the fight over Trump’s East Potomac Golf Links renovation announced today that she is appointing a special master to investigate possible misconduct by Justice Department lawyers.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan responded to Donald J. Trump by offering to walk through a metal detector daily if Trump agrees to take a single lie detector test. Just a hunch: Only one of them will pass, and it won't be Trump. El-Sayed just w...

The morning begins with titles floating like single leaves or bits of branches down a stream; some parts of the riverine flow are rapids, some are quiet near the glide around a bend. For the former, I try and catch them but they often move swiftly out of reach, and soon disa...

Trump on Iran: It's a war but it's... not a typical war. We've been there for 7 months. We're spending very little money, relatively speaking

Trump gets distracted mid-sentence: Is that a helicopter? Ooh! You want to see a nice helicopter? How about the helipad?

Trump: I think we're doing well. Typically, presidents lose the midterms. Nobody's ever explained why. But we're doing very well.

Highly recommend the interview between Scott Galloway and Heather Cox Richardson. Quite a combination of minds. Don't skip to the end but don't miss it, they explain how blogging allowed them to route around the gatekeepers. That's the point. But imho you have to leave the door open to those who are inspired by you, and Substack isn't the best place for them. Please keep your ears open to new less tech industry ways of getting your ideas out. The bigco's haven't just screwed up the political system, they've also screwed up the web. The web needs all our help as does democracy, and the two imho are closely related.
