This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

The origins of the one-day boycott are dubious to say the least, but as a society we need to start exercising the organized boycott muscle, so I’m in. I’ll keep interrogating the motivations of the “leaders” of organized protest. We should get used to experimenting and coordinating on a larger scale

We could have had high speed rail and instead we got wars in the Middle East and useless AI. Every day lately I think about the fact that China has built 28,000 miles of rail since the mid-2000s, with trains that go 150-250 mph. We should have devoted resources to building real stuff.

William Pester, the Hermit of Palm Springs ca. 1917. He is playing a Knutsen Hawaiian-style guitar. An early hippie. There are some potential problematic details if you dig into his biography but the photo is striking. This is the vibe I’m going for if I survive the apocalypse.

I’m learning all these old Hawaiian tunes from Alan Akaka, and the Newman name keeps coming up. I checked and these are Randy Newman’s uncles. The history of Hawaiian music in the US is endlessly fascinating and full of surprises.

So… if a government employee takes the Elon “Deferred Resignation” agreement and congress doesn’t appropriate the funds to uphold the terms of the agreement, the employee has no legal remedy to sue and get paid what was promised by the executive branch. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.
