Because each night I try to watch the opening monologue of my favorite late-night comedy talk shows, in addition to the Maddow or the Psaki,the various news highlights from the day, I’ve seen the clip five or six times by now of Donald Trump’s interview with Terry Moranwhere Trump insists against glaring evidence to theContinue reading “#578: I See Willy Loman”

A Recrudescence in America
Ain’t that the whole truth. America is experiencing a recrudescence, one that will last four long years, and have repercussions, possibly, for decades to come. I try not to think about it all the damn day. I try not to look at the news. I fail. I check news outlets on my stupid smart phoneContinue reading “A Recrudescence in America”
On the Nineteenth Day of 2025…
…I find that TikTok has already been restored, and I say, WTF. What kind of a bullshit ban was that?
