Reading/teaching The Crucible and it's fearmongering inspiration (McCarthyism) in March of 2025 is scary as fuck. People cite Orwell and Vonnegut as prophetic, but holy shit was Arther Miller onto something when he put this play out there.

If you're wondering if there's a bad place to take an edible there is: at the local Maggiano's murder mystery dinner with your wife and her colleagues. Two out of 10 do not recommend.

Not me sitting in my 7yo basketball practice damn near tearing up watching her coach show her the EXACT SAME stuff the EXACT SAME way my dad did for me when I was her age. My dad woulda loved this coach. Wish he was still around to see her play.

Anyone who thinks Biden could go scorched earth with pardons misses the point that he's just a different kind of shitty, corrupt politician who only uses his power for his own interests. He has done so little since he decided to bow out... Why start now?
