All Your Days returned to a focus on at-home issues this week.
There’s an income-tax streetfight underway, and Tuesday’s look at who’s proposing what breaks down the stakes.
And then, there’s Kansas, where hate is having a holiday.

Kansas is the first U.S. state to take back rights already granted to transgender people—nixing 1,700 licenses and introducing a citizen lawsuit push to pit resident against resident. That's only the beginning.

Mediocrity loves murk.
And parsing this year’s raft of murky income-tax legislation is certainly a leading candidate for highlighting what’s most mediocre in America’s fight against income inequality.

“Is this the interview?” the reporter asks.
“If I say yes, you’ll take out your device.”
“I haven’t turned anything on yet.”
“Well, I would like you to do so,” he says. “I would like you to turn on your little device.”

The idea of All Your Days is to root out the kernels, the underlying mindsets, and potentially surface under-noticed details. This was a big week for both.

This sounds fantastic, man. Really, really great to hear.
The Christian nationalist regime in the U.S., which has appointed Donald J. Trump as its divinely delivered figurehead, has nothing less than a world-ending war on its mind. And Iran fits their bill.

The War Powers Resolution won’t restrain Trump. The real question is whether open-ended conflict with Iran will upend the U.S. midterms.

Down in the dark. Down in the dream of Manderley. Down under the house. Down where there’s a giant dying. These are the days and nights of the end. Marlon Brando drinks some wine.

All Your Days was on the trail of two critical threads of the world story this week:
1. The U.S. regime’s ramp-up to what is, as of this morning, war with Iran.
2. The persistent drumbeat of U.S. election interference.

The SAVE Act is not about election integrity. It is election interference in a crappy blue suit and a shitty orange spray tan. The Senate’s job is to kill the bill. May it conduct itself accordingly.

February comes to a close at Everything Is Useless And Nothing Is Solved.
The unmade films of outcast director J. Skelton Fogglepock dominated the narrative. Readers also discovered a hip salutation to Sam Cucchiara. And Loyola Zhee conducted three melty autopsies.

Puff pastry for this one. I think there’s a loss of height for the shaping, but there’s a gain of drawing up some of the gorgeous brown-sugar-honey-pear juice.
War with Iran will hurt Iranians already trying to wrestle a future from their regime, and it will further destabilize the Middle East. A better strategy backs Iran’s opposition without regional crossfire.

Last night's dessert. Baked pear under a pastry cap, filled with honey, brown sugar, and golden raisins. #homecooking #NYC
J. Skelton Fogglepock tried to give the world the Hollywood movies it actually needed (and deserved). Today, just a treatment for a trailer remains of what might have been the greatest sequel/mashup of the 2000s.

It was a big week for All Your Days: Tuesday’s release of a new topical song on vinyl; Thursday’s clear-eyed look at why America has a measles problem (again); and then, Friday, unpacking the implications of POTUS getting pantsed by SCOTUS.

In what amounts to the first truly great day for democracy since the second inauguration of Donald J. Trump, the U.S. Supreme Court today struck down the sitting president’s absurd global trade war.
