In which a man responsible for the deaths of 600,000 so far, mostly children, whines about an octogenarian novelist's observation (which she says was about ultrafiche men in general, not the whiner in particular).

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

This is remarkable. Four giant dams on the Klamath River along the CA-Oregon border were taken down last year. This year, salmon migrated all the way to the river headwaters, a 300-mile journey from the Pacific to central Oregon, for the first time since 1909. A fantastic success.

I looked into public school teaching a couple years ago. I'd have to start at the bottom of the ladder with the recent college grads. Health insurance premiums (family, $6K deduct) were 1/4 of the pre-tax salary. Adj for inflation, salary was less than existing ICE signing bonuses.

Here's a clip from one of the church services — i.e., Prestonwood Baptist in Texas. Reminder: As the pastor, Jack Graham, makes clear, this is not an actual clip of Charlie Kirk. He never said these words. This is an entirely AI-generated fabrication that, nonetheless, garners a standing ovation.
