The More Loving One W. H. Auden Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast.

"Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. So let's just, abide, together. We can do this. "Now that’s just, like, my opinion, but it’s a good one don’t you think?” - Jeff Bridges channeled The Dude on Kimmel.

This is the moment when Trump, while pressing Netanyahu, should demand the release of Marwan Barghouti from an Israeli prison. Any path forward to two states and Palestinian self-rule requires that man and his credibility to both marginalize Hamas and restore the PA. All other roads lead to hell.

“Enshittification” was a term coined by Cory Doctorow, in 2022, to describe how the technologies that dominated our daily lives seemed to be all getting worse at the same time. Now, in a new book, he expands on the word that has become bleakly relevant.

Game 1 won, six more to go. Go Lynx Go!

A deeeep Bridget Carleton 3 gives Lynx a 9 point lead late.

If you love the song “Me and Bobby McGee” you absolutely must read @elongreen.bsky.social on the life of the woman who inspired the song.

The Lynx win & advance. They showed tremendous resolve closing out Valkyries in front of their extraordinary crowd. And listen to that crowd one more time. Final buzzer rings and it is immediate and sustained applause from their fans. Beautiful support from the beginning to the end of this season.
