Buying too many pens, playing too much mandolin. Empty nester with a full head. Chaotic Neutral.

Portola Valley, CA
There's nothing like a cool, windy, rainy morning to make you feel like everything is existentially right with the world.

"As a campus, we’ve spoken a lot about bridging divides ... Nobody will look at this ... and love every piece of it." Today's divided @UWSystem Regents' vote is just one more argument for the type of compromise-based solution @uwchancellor helped broker. news.wisc.edu/compromise-and…

It’s funny how airlines delay and cancel flights at the last minute for no clear reason and shrug it off like “life is unpredictable but you’ll get there eventually!” But if you try to reschedule a ticket six weeks in advance they’re like “The penalty is $250 or your first child”

A Neo-Nazi Live-fire paramilitary training camp called “The Base?” Hmmm ... Know what “al-Qaeda” translates to in English? “The Base.” Their speciality? live-fire paramilitary training. #WhiteSupremacistTerrorism is real.

The president to date has spent 278.5 YEARS of annual presidential salary in taxpayer money to play golf.
I donate 100% of my President’s salary, $400,000, back to our Country, and feel very good about it!

I still can’t believe they stole an election from Stacey Abrams and then let Brian Kemp take office like he was a legitimately elected governor.
In Georgia’s gubernatorial race last year, 100,000 voters’ registrations were cancelled because they hadn’t voted in seven years. Another 53,000, 70 per cent of whom were black, had their registration put on hold for something as minor as a missing hyphen. nyer.cm/7NQvIbo

Trump’s crowd size at his rallies is pathetic. He can’t even fill 12,000 seat auditoriums. He holds rallies at small venues to make the crowd size look large, but for a president it’s just embarrassing. President Obama filled NFL stadiums and the field. Obama rules, Trump drools.

July 2019 was the hottest recorded month ever. The four hottest Julys before that: July 2018 July 2017 July 2016 July 2015 Anyone who does not understand the urgency of the climate crisis and plans to respond accordingly needs to get out of politics right now.

We can’t let this point get lost, South Africa’s government back then denied black members of Congress in the same way Israel is denying Muslim members of Congress. If the agenda or host was the problem, why didn’t they also deny the other member who was traveling with us?

Keep up the drum beat: Why did Justice Kennedy retire so abruptly? What role did his son at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

Never ever forget that Donald Trump was nothing but a real estate d-bag who’d lost millions of dollars he’d inherited before he got hired for a stupid reality show because he was a blustering fool who could be easily manipulated by the producers. Which is who he is to this day.

It’s also kind of crazy that we’re still debating background checks as if Democrats in the House didn’t pass them almost as soon as they took office early this year only to have Mitch McConnell and Republicans sit on their ass and do nothing about guns—again.
I can’t stress enough the importance of Walmart CEO Doug McMillon’s comments on guns today encouraging stronger background checks and a debate to reauthorize the assault weapon ban. It marks a major turning point. Critics may say it is too little, but it’s an important beginning.

Trump stoking the hate right now against Latino immigrants. He's stating they are dangerous criminal aliens. Unbelievable after he inspired the 22 murders in El Paso. Beto is right. Trump will get more people killed. #TrumpRally
