Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves. We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves. We will drink Canadian whiskey. True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

I hope a lot of atheists were made this election. I’m so sick of the “Christians” we love unconditionally. They don’t. My family is Pagan now. We really love everything and everyone unconditionally. I don’t care what you believe or about your life choices. You are loved and accepted!!!

Cicero was a very wise man

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

The Onion has bought a bankrupt Infowars with help from the Sandy Hook families. Please let this be the new logo:

It’s called empathy. And I think many of us are just starting to realize how few of our neighbors have it.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

I kinda feel like this picture is maybe our collective nervous systems before we left Twitter and came over here. Yeah?

Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.

Yeah same 😂

I regret to inform you that I do sometimes judge a book by its cover.
