Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

"In Stephen Miller, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on him, contest everything he does and says. Because – while this may be hard to fathom – if the US ends up with Miller as its dictator, we are in even deeper trouble than we are with Trump, and it could last a lot longer."

This morning, I stepped outside and was greeted by a crow friend. His name is Gus, I believe. Gus was adamant that I bring out peanuts for the gang. He crowed at me a lot. I have it on video, but having trouble uploading.

Anyway, I put out peanuts at lunch and almost got them to grab them with me still on the patio. They came close. Maybe tomorrow.

This wednesday I spoke at frontmania conference in Utrecht about how to port React applications to vanilla JS. It is a thing that pretty much nobody does for real but that is eminently doable.

If you are just waking up from a 10 year long coma, I have some bad news for you. It's not to late to go back into that coma - give it another 10 years and see how things have shaken out.

I hope this email never finds you.

this adventure is @sam 's fault - he linked to a Dolly Parton cover of House of the Rising Sun (which is awesome) and I got the entire album, and it had a cover of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportee%5F%28Plane%5FWreck%5Fat%5FLos%5FGatos%29 on it, and it struck me, and then I looked it up... and here we are.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions: 1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate 2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition
