it's been hard to bring myself to do things that bring joy recently, but have got to say I've never appreciated how cathartic it is to play heavy, loud, angry music with my friends more than I have in the past month.

I went to dinner with my dad the other night, who told me he went to law school with RFK Jr. All he could recall about him was that he'd sit in the back of classes chewing tobacco, and never really spoke to anyone other than to try and sell them heroin.

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions. The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

Call me crazy but I wonder if it was some combination of a gradual erosion of worker benefits, declining safety standards, and over-trafficked skies to keep pace with a greater demand for flights amid a steadily growing period of surging airfare prices in some way contributed to this awful crash.
