I wonder what they taught you in your PPE degree
I have slept in the sense of napping in the middle of my day. At this rate I might be awake for the eclipse if it isn't rained out.
I called both of my senators and my representative to thank them for writing and signing on to the letter calling for the release of Rümeysa Öztürk and answers in the matter of her Constitution-testing detention. This op-ed from Tufts alumni making a call of their own on their alma mater is urgent and clear. This administration keeps pushing the far-reaching fast-tracked xenophobia of the last of the Alien and Sedition Acts. John, on that one, you really should have sat down.
If I see one more article referring to Chaim Grade's Sons and Daughters (2025) as the last great Yiddish novel, I am going to start demanding that one of my friends write the next great one instead. On that front, if demographically relevant to you, please tell the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston to get their heads into a sharper statement than that sand.
Recent conversation has reminded me once again of just how much of Babylon 5 (1993–98) lives rent-free in my head, often soundtracking the politics I have found myself living through. The heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots never does seem to go out of style, but it looks like the latest diamond-tipped needle-drop is "It doesn't matter if they'd stop! It doesn't matter if they'd listen! You had an obligation to speak out."

I love Bester so much, and Koenig did such a good job on him.
Londo and G'Kar also are deep loves, and we recite a lot of their lines back and forth.

He's who Walter Koenig always looks like to me.

Coming around eternally on the guitar: "Arrogance and stupidity, all in the same package! How efficient of you."
