Trump is doing to businesses what he did to his businesses.

Happy April Trump’s Day!

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Christopher Hitchens died 13 years ago today. I miss him.

Island of garbage

Not trying to brag but I just ran 11.38 miles. Okay, yes, I’m trying to brag.

First rule of Bluesky: If no one asks for your opinion, give it.
