And oh, you think you're not responsible for the shutdown because you've been voting for the funding measures?

Wrong.

You're a Republican. You voted for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker. You caucus with the Republicans.

As long as you're part of the GOP, you're part of the problem.

New York is having terrible flooding.

FEMA won't help - because of the federal government shutdown caused by House Republicans.

So, thanks to...
- George Santos
- Mike Lawler
- Andrew Garbarino
- Nick LaLota
- Anthony D'Esposito
- Nicole Malliotakis

... for screwing us over.

SCOTUS has more than one First Amendment case on the docket for this coming year.

Leaders who have big ideas, but no capacity to implement them need to realize it and just shut up.

Good morning. 🌞

It's hard to tell the weekends from the weekdays. Except that the neighbor's truck is still in the driveway. When I worked, that was usually the case as well because I often worked 20 days in a row.

40 years ago today: There was no third consecutive night hike yesterday, but I did not miss it by much. At 6:20, the Appalachian Trail passed a small peninsula thrust into an enormous expanse of water. Along the eastern edge, a string of about a dozen aging wooden cabins slumbered beneath giant pines of even greater antiquity along a gravel shore.

From an old wooden chair on my screened front porch, I watched loons drifting upon quiet waters fading into a deepening twilight. When darkness fell like a theatrical curtain ending the show, I lit a candle on an old table inside and began last night's journal entry. Usually, I must write sprawled out on the hardwood floor of a shelter. This was better.

After dinner, I lay back on my bunk and listened to the cries of the loons floating over the lake, accompanied by the mournful song

This week I wrote about what I think will be the unavoidability of using generative AI in both our work and, someday, personal lives.

For this simple reason: It really can make people more productive.

That creates a kind of communications arms race where the rest of us have to participate, or else risk drowning in the output of others.

Maybe I'm wrong. But here it is at length, and a brief thread on the subject.

of a lone coyote drifting down from the hills. The magic I discovered on a similar night at Pierce Pond returned to me, and I grew to love old Antlers.

I just lay in bed for a half-hour after awakening this morning. Loons were still calling, and the rising sun was creating long undulating ripples of gold upon the gently-lapping waters of the lake beyond my screen door. Why get up?

...

In actuality, the Appalachian Trail’s hundred-mile wilderness is somewhat of an illusion.

Happy Saturday to everybody but those who wanted to shut down US government!

Granted a US gov’t shutdown won’t occur until after midnight tonight. But in effect the MAGAts have essentially neutered the gov’t already.

Lots of focus on votes. Meaningless at this point. No one wants to admit that what we once had is gone. And it’s not coming back.

Things ain’t normal.

Things ain’t going back to whatever you thought normal was.

Stop trying to find normal again.

Work the what is. Not the what was.

if a picture is a thousand words, a moving picture is..?

Idk how I missed the video, but it’s pretty …compelling. Not that I need to be compelled, but it might move someone?

GOPers only care if they get paid, not other federal employees.

"When you see the word 'polarizing,' beware. It’s a red flag, these days, for false equivalence. It can be way to avoid identifying what’s really going on with a Republican party that has gone off the rails."
