Opinions are a conglomeration of stuff people have yelled at me over the years, slightly transmogrified to fit my purposes. (Save yourself the time; it’s 42.)

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Raskin: "What we have is the Trump Justice Department organizing itself not around the interests of the survivors -- the people who were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein -- but rather organizing itself around protecting the perpetrators."

Rather than focus on rebuilding, how ‘bout we focus on eliminating the threat, which then requires rebuilding.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

Just a personal thought, but all of the people who buy this crap really shouldn’t be trusted with money anyway, so perhaps it’s best.

I misappropriated the fake lemon tree from the Lemon Lounge at my university in the late 70s. There were no security cameras back then, but public shaming of my callouses disregard for plastic lemon trees eventually led to my returning it. “The horror…”

It’s just sad. It’s just so sad that we elected such an utterly horrible person who surrounded himself with such utterly incompetent sycophants. So instead of facts, transparency, & honesty, they wrap themselves in the flag & hide behind our troops. Such cowards. It’s just sad.

And as to “national identity,” the idea that all French people smoke is an American misconception, not an ethos of French culture—nor is the belief that French women don’t shave their underarms. By and large, they do—and a few other places, as well.
jacklarson.bsky.social (@jacklarson.bsky.social) reply parent
As a French resident of two decades, this is a question that was posed about twenty years ago when smoking was banned indoors. We’ve been doing just fine…smoking outdoors.
