Good morning @stevedavis1948.bsky.social I'm doing my best to stay away from news and social media for about a week.

“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” That quote is almost always misattributed to Mark Twain. It was actually Clarence Darrow who originally said it. I mention this for no reason whatsoever.

I have no problem with people saying that politics should be more civil. As long as they also acknowledge that this isn’t a both sides issue. One political party has embraced incivility as its primary MO. The other doesn’t have a civility problem.

Saw “Fatherland,” a four-actor play based entirely on testimony and records from a January 6 case, about a son who turns his father in to the FBI. Tiny tiny theater. Extremely powerful and masterfully acted. It’s going to NY; catch it there if you can.

Good morning, @stevedavis1948.bsky.social I must replace my car. It has served me well. It's a 2006 Honda Civic hybrid. Life could be a lot worse.

I would like to wake up, even just occasionally, without a crushing sense of impending doom.

One of my favourite Art Deco pieces, over the door of the Fulton County Dept. of Health and Wellness. Swole spirit of medicine fights off the grim spectre of death, reminding you that medicine is Cool

Just gave a nice, practically unused, 25' Stanley tape measure to an undergrad. The level of enthusiasm at this gift was higher than I've seen people react to new laptops, particularly since they're moving. Never underestimate the value of a cleanout find. It may be a treasure to someone else.

This is very tough to say. You’ve served us well for many years. But you’re really old now. And lately you’ve said things that don’t make sense or were just wrong. So for the good of the country, it’s time to quit and pass the torch. This is a tweet about the New York Times.

Republicans have just backed a new provision in a spending bill, which is right out of Project 2025: banning pregnant workers from receiving time off for reproductive care. And they’re trying to use it in an unrelated budget bill that allows states to bar patients from having emergency abortions.

Good morning, @stevedavis1948.bsky.social Wild winds all night in Albuquerque. I never enjoyed pulling all-nighters but I sure did tolerate them better in the past. Vive la France, anyway!

So for all the narrative about the inevitable slide into anti-immigrant populism, four of Western Europe's five largest countries now have left or center left governments?
