One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Things to look forward to beyond January. A new season of White Lotus. Escapism in small does will become more and more important.

Nobody prepared me for Resident Alien's arc with the Sheriff. Literally BoysIIMen throwback vibes. And Darcy's reaction - chef's kiss.

A fight broke out at my son's school yesterday. One side called the girl a racist slur and that she should go back to her country. She in turn called the girl a racist slur. The kids are listening. Aside from dismantling institutions, the effect on our kids deeply saddens me.

Is Trump really intent on destroying the United States? 4 nominations suggest that: 1. Matt Gaetz = lawlessness 2. Tulsi Gabbard = Russia + Syria: betrayal of US intelligence 3. Pete Hegseth = attempt to destroy the US military 4. Robert Kennedy = madness

For many current and former military this SecDef nominee is a gut kick. First to constantly belittle veterans and their service. Now to nominate someone not even as a peer to a 4 star general. Who doesn't believe in Geneva Conventions. Or women serving.

Seems like a good day to listen to Cat Power's most recent music. To fight the news cycle from taking over my life, again - each day I will also find something from the arts to focus on, a book, music, or a movie.

Magical lines, the ones that stop your reading. If I wrote just one magical line would sigh in joy. "Indeed, you are the poem I penned from heart, and like lines that are never forgotten, you were meant to outlive me." Pg 253, By Any Other Name, Jodi Picoult
