What can you expect from me? Less politics than before--it's like screaming into the void. Theatre. Puppies. Jokey-jokes. Gay stuff. "My eyes are fully open to [our] awful situation..." (with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan)

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

It is a canonical fact that in the X-Files universe Fox Mulder dies from autoerotic asphyxiation and I think that's beautiful.

Older folks are constantly complaining to me about how young people don't use maps.
Of course, I tell them. What would a kid need a map for? We don't let them go anywhere.

If you love maps, exploring and childhoods that are full of adventure, independence and curiosity, we must protect mobility.

Hopefully it doesn't cost too much science, or require mid-game elements to build (treated planks, metal, catalyst, etc).

10 days til we find out.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.
