I have a lot to say about politics but I also just saw a neighborhood outside cat tangle with a black racer in the fern patch in the backyard.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Really great to see the big liberal news networks covering “American consumers brace for tariffs” and “what’s Biden wearing today” instead of what seems to be a pretty consequential day of action out there.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.

I’m looking for a female singer (any kind of female- I mean a voice a little higher than my own) for a low impact remote recording project. Enthusiasm over skill, weirdness is a plus, zero stakes beyond making things. DM me!

Pete Hegseth insists on using the term “warfighter” I guess because the previously serviceable term “soldier” doesn’t sound enough like “office schlep controlling a drone from next to the Keurig machine”.

I’ve had two colds and one Covid since 2017. I’m a huge baby when I get a tiny bit sick, like yesterday, and I’m very fortunate to have a great immune system. All my love goes out to people who have to live like this more often than not.

Had to unfollow the deep cuts account, only for its prolific prolificness. I’ll make a point to listen to its website.

Went to see the Led Zep doc, and was as always pummeled by the excess of talent possessed collectively and individually by the band. I’m heartened though, that I’m a better lyricist by several miles than the band as a whole. At least there’s that.

Whoa, so I guess Trump is doing an executive order to change the name of our language to “American”? And he wants to eliminate every other vowel?

I promise, there are similar stories for every major sports event (see also: Atlanta shipping away unhoused people ahead of the Olympics) This is the incredible cruelty that ensures that the twin problems of income+wealth inequity & poverty are less visible to tourists.

I know we have much bigger problems, but is anyone else seeing this insanity? Is it Katy Perry’s fault?

1. Part of a journalist’s job description is indeed to expose monstrous behavior of public monsters 2. I reject any elected official publicly using the phrase “bad dude”, especially when it means “demonstrably racist”.

Israeli forces conducted an unprecedented escalation in the West Bank over the weekend by detonating 20 apartment buildings in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The move constituted the largest single demolition operation in the West Bank since 1967.

Past Waldo would say "there is no reason to believe that yesterday's crash is in any way rooted in any of this." Current Waldo sees no reason to provide the Trump administration with the benefit of the doubt.
