Trump is now going to submit a massive bill for a military appropriation package to replenish the stockpiles he has been drawing down for many months with his bombings all over the world, and naturally he will blame Biden and Zelensky.

You asked for the good ones. Here are 10 books that delivered. After roasting overhyped books, here are the ones that delivered EXACTLY what they promised—and more

I turned off the news. I am reading. I need a break from our crisis creator. The book I am reading is, ‘The Trouble with Heroes’. Angry kid needs to climb 46 Mountains to make reparations for bad behavior. I am thinking that someone we know may have needed this intervention. 😑

How much more can I heart this?

How is he able to do that? Did he write a check? Ask Congress? I did he move it over. How does he control any of our money? Has any other President done that before?

Just leaving this here……..

THE RAIN OF SMALL OCCURRENCES So many things happen; many smaller than a sparrow's fall. It is a long rain in rain country where the flow falls steadily all day and all night long and the next day keeps on falling in an air half air, half water, and a world half gone to dissolution, fluid and almost formless in the rain of small occurrences. So many things happen at a single time, it seems an idleness to note them all, or try to note them all, for who could note them, smaller than a sparrow's fall. A bird flew down the yard and reached a tree. A cricket creaked and creaked again. The star Arcturus moved a million silent miles. It is a rich world, full of minor deeds. Who saw the bird, or heard the cricket creak? Or hearing, seeing, cared to hear or see? The big star moves beyond our sight. All over, the given moment always gives a little movement every way as if to steal a thousand bases at a time. The world is not quite formless; we lean down and feel the massive earth beneath our feet. And passion finds out shapes for its own ends. At certain times, the view for miles is sharply clear and every object has a space

around it as in old pictures in the parlor toy. What happens, happens quietly. There is little change. We learn that even then the ceaseless rain of small occurrences was falling when the scene disintegrates like paper in the rain. Each happening happens in an already moving world. The scene could be a train, with another train on either side, and all three running at changing speeds. We ask, "What happened here?" But movement adds to movement and subtracts. The fact is farther off than all three trains could run on a summer's day on three clear tracks. We ask, and give such answers as we can. We move, and moving, feel the need to act. The happening is all our happiness. We watch to see our lives come true. Not as a dream might come, for who could dream it? More maybe as we say this house is true, true square and plumb. We, angled as no square was ever made, so slight the subtlest plummet cannot line us as it lines the air, on whom the small occurrences rain in until the template of our lives seems made of time, watch for the shape not wholly shaped by time, that one, that shape, almost that solid man.

happy #twopageplustuesday, where you’re invited to share any poems you love that run to 2+ printed pages. I’m excited to continue the William Bronk birthday festschrift with this poem that has one of the most beautiful titles I know:

Wow.

Column: Disneyland just promised electric cars at Autopia. Gas will be gone by 2026 Disney had previously committed to ditching gasoline engines but left open hybrids as a possibility.

Later this year, Disneyland will shut down Autopia so it can replace the 71-year-old ride’s gas-guzzling cars with electric vehicles. ❤️ 👍🏼 ❤️

'It's about the loneliness we all feel': The painful scene that really makes Taxi Driver a classic Martin Scorsese's groundbreaking New York thriller turns 50 this week. It remains a remarkable piece of work – though its truly defining moment is probably not the one you think.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.
