Folks, please put the TL;DR section at the start of the thing I’m not going to read because it’s too long.

People occasionally ask me what they can do for resistance. Here’s a small thing: Go to your local Planned Parenthood and get an STI (sexually transmitted infection) panel. Let them charge you (or bill your insurance) for it, if you can afford it.

True confession time. Going back to the Maguire novel, in my head, I read the character name Elphaba as pronounced “el-FAH-bah” as opposed to the apparently correct “EL-fuh-buh”.

In today’s heightened tensions in international relations, particularly between the U.S. and Russia, Hollywood is missing a huge opportunity to make a cautionary tale via a big budget drama about Able Archer ‘83.

Today marks another link in the chain of history. The redcaps (cf. “brownshirts”) are once again certified to hold power. Is this what it’s like to have lived through something historically unpleasant, like Watergate? I’m not a historian, but I can’t help but wonder how the story will be told.

Why is nobody talking about how Shamsud-Din Jabbar came from a place with sick and cruel extremist beliefs inimical to American values, a place that poses a constant threat to our freedoms

Yeah, but following President Biden’s lead (per Woodward in “War”), we can still refer to Trump as “That Fucking Asshole,” right? I kinda think we need a ruling on this.

Today was the day that two of my worlds collided. I’ve read (and admired for historical perspective) posts @kevinmkruse.bsky.social since The Bad Place. Today, he quote-posted my beautiful bride. I’m not quite sure how to react to this turn of events.

Now, even as I’ve said this, Strange New Worlds is also, frankly, the closest thing to the original series I’ve seen from the Trek franchise. So you should be watching that too.

If you’re a Star Trek fan, don’t sleep on Lower Decks. It’s funny, and has some deep, _deep_ cuts from earlier series. And being animated, they can often bring back actors from those series to voice characters (or variants thereof) they previously played.

Today, my son, @thechillquil.bsky.social is getting his B.A. degree from the University of South Florida. I couldn’t be prouder.

Aside from the obvious (two non-consecutive terms) I wonder if there are any other parallels to be drawn between the incoming administration and the Cleveland-Harrison-Cleveland years in the 1880-90s. I bet someone thoughtful like @kevinmkruse.bsky.social would be able to provide some analysis.

Don’t mind me, I’m just crashing this random office party at this bar. It’s supposed to be open to the public in an hour or so. What are the odds I get found out?

Fun to see @jaketapper.bsky.social get some non-journalism work in Creature Commandos. Time to update that IMDB page!

As much as violence is absolutely not the answer, it’s kinda hard not to see the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO isn’t some kind of reckoning.
