It's time to stop pretending DOGE is about efficiency and trimming expenses. The difference between a haircut and a visit to the guillotine matters, and this is all going to be very expensive for all of us (if not for them). Notably gutting CFPB. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Where I live, crows are endearingly inescapable. When they trust you enough to follow you, they remind me of brave children. Especially when only one crow is padding towards you — trepidatious, innocent — and the rest of the murder is still gathered where you usually feed them. Then more crows join.

Nine days to go without my computer or instruments. I’m taking care of an aunt. I’m doing it in a house where the WiFi was hacked, so I’m only using devices without it: Yamaha speaks, Dirtywave M8, Analogue Pocket for nanoloop, my journal, kalimba, phone stand and a radio for NPR, WNYC & WBAI.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
