Every time this comes up on a playlist I'm reminded of when I saw José González with The String Theory in Prague on my first trip to Europe and I was on my own, immersed in language and culture I did not understand at all and yet felt an incredible sense of being exactly where I was meant to be.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Really interesting to see Pritzker emerge as the opposition here. I left Illinois in part because of that gutting and it’s been great watching him fix things.

Good on the Dems. (The reason why these restrictions on presidential powers aren’t typically done is because the president doesn’t typically try to end constitutional government.)

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I just hope Amazon puts the focus back on classic James Bond storytelling elements. Like the long history of villains that are grossly wealthy, insecure egomaniacs desperate to validate their fragile egos with wild schemes to control the media, governments, and space itself.

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Your periodical reminder that the UK has a peerage family named Cholmondeley which is pronounced like "Chumlee" and that is why the UK isn't a real country. I think we should give temporary guardianship over it to France. Or Poland. God knows there's enough of us there already. We could do it.
