dishonest assange
Julian Assange, who is most infamously known as the founder of an internet clearing house for “leaked” data, appears in an interview broadcast on mainstream media to warn us all that the U.S. media is very dishonest — more dishonest than anyone knows. Trump live-tweets the show, also using U.S. media. There isn’t enough gin Read.

the weirdest tweets
For the longest time I would read Trump’s tweets, shake my head and think to myself, “Well, he can’t write one any weirder than that.” I still shake my head, but after reading a couple hundred of them, I’m a firm believer that he’ll always be able to write something more outrageous than the one Read.

faithless
There seems to be a lot of talk in the media (social and otherwise) about the electors and how they can “save” us from Donald Trump. I want this to be a nightmare I will somehow wake up from, too. I’d like to say I want to wake up from it *way more* than other Read.

California Day 6
Woke up this morning, rubbed the sleepers from my eyes, tumbled out of the van and went staggering up the road to the office-slash-general store to get a cup of coffee. Halfway back to our camp site I slowed to a stop as I caught sight of B standing just outside the van, binoculars in Read.

There are lots of reasons I’d rather not argue about guns — excuse me, sorry, I didn’t mean to say “argue,” I meant to say “join the conversation about guns.” It’s not that I don’t like guns. I do. I’m a gadget geek all the way down to my bones. As far as I’m concerned, Read.

differences
Peter Sagal: I want to hear your observations, diplomatic as I’m sure they will be, about the differences between the British and the American system [of politics]. Sir Peter Westmacott: Well, you did set up a political system all those years ago which I think was probably designed to ensure that something you rather unkindly Read.

debates
I watched the presidential debates Tuesday night, not because I was interested in listening to the same old crap coming out of the mouths of the candidates but, honestly, because I felt guilty about not taking a more active part in the democratic process. What did I learn? Something very important, really. It turns out Read.
