I'm not sure there is anything wrong with enjoying your life and rollerblading. Normalize enjoying your life and rollerblading. I hope I don't reach my late 70s, and as I'm lying in my hospital bed, think, "man, I could have written more articles." 9/11

Having police violently break up protests and then calling them “violent protests” is an old trick that succeeds only when the press takes the bait which is what’s happening now

We must do everything possible to avert an entirely preventable, human-made famine in Gaza. I again call on the Israeli authorities to allow & facilitate safe, rapid & unimpeded access for humanitarian aid & humanitarian workers, including @UNRWA.

I wrote about how last night, an over-the-air radio broadcast from a tiny FM signal was the sole news source for the most important national news story of the moment. And how that's.... interesting
