Scottish tunes on the fiddle, and one Italian verb a day. 20 Italian words a day. Wrote a dissertation on George Eliot. Despairing for the future. Resisting by means of one postcard at a time. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

The term โ€œdouble tapโ€ disgusts me. Itโ€™s Orwellian in the extreme, and itโ€™s coming out of the mouths of drunken, out-of-control boys. Then the media repeats it as if itโ€™s perfectly normal and reasonable to talk that way.

Iโ€™ve been reading Simon Schamaโ€™s history of the French Revolution. It has a lot to teach us.

Iโ€™m not a military commander, and Iโ€™ve never seen combat. But it enrages me. Itโ€™s disqualifying for anyone engaging in it, even if all they do is push the button to upload files. Shame on everyone involved, including the idiots who voted for this.

How much more death and destruction is Trump going to cause around the World before Americans do the decent thing and impeach the fucker?

Still crazy that the presidentโ€™s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she โ€œclearedโ€ him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

I donโ€™t think he understands how the government works.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Hegseth is a freak, a very sick one.

We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.

Full of ideas? I donโ€™t think so. Grievance is not an idea.

How could anyone be that ignorant about Orwell, even if you hadnโ€™t read a single line of his work?
