I wish I had necromancy powers so I could turn Walter Cronkite and Ernie Pyle into Liches hellbent on defending journalism. I'd give 'em revenants made from tabloid and yellow press people. Imagine the hilarity at OANN or newsmax.... "hey boss there's an undead old dude at the lobby named Walter"

Tom Waits, but for what, we know not. And he has been sworn to hermetic silence. I still regret that Efrem Jr. died before teaching his one daughter, Stephanie, how to Zimbalize.

When Bezos had the #WaPo put "Democracy dies in Darkness" below the masthead, turns out it was his way of telling us he wanted it to die in the broad light of day, where we all had to watch.

At Craft Warehouse in Gresham Station, Gresham, OR, there is a fine art dept that could stand alone as a complete art supply store on its own. Near the watercolors are a selection of works done by customers and employees (presumably) and they encourage sharing pictures. #PDX #ArtSky #watercolor

Of all of America's astronauts, 25 of them came from Ohio. Vivek Ramaswamy is running for Governor of Ohio, and they elected JD Vance. I used to wonder what the hell it was about Ohio that caused residents to want to flee the planet, but I think I get it now.

NGL, my fave part of the finale season of The American Appresident is where the nazi who's running the government's son picked his nose, wiped it on the Resolute Desk, then told the actually-elected guy to pound sand. This shit writes itself! In other news, I'm dissociating like a madman.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
