Happy Birthday, Dad (1927-1997). I wrote this for you, and all that I do to help families who are dealing with #dementia, I do for you. I know you would want that in the hopes that the story of your suffering -- and your beautiful life -- might help others. Love you.

Words sounding "rational" being used as a cover for fascism. This semantic nonsense about appreciation & disdain is sickening. We're not talking about taste/manners.

“'It is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens to appreciate their sex & not become disdainful of their sex by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect,'” wrote Judge Julius Ness Richardson, citing the Skrmetti decision.

RE: @ArenaCops@infosec.exchange

Thank you. I have seen the petition. I'm not a medical/mental health professional so wouldn't be qualified to sign it but I am grateful that it exists and really think John Gartner gets it!

RE: @CindyWeinstein@zirk.us

Thank you. I am a big fan of John Gartner, a hero in my eyes.

RE: @gleick@mas.to

Missteps suggests mistakes, as in oopsies. Patel's erasure of #Trump et al is as purposeful as it gets. You'd think the #NYT would understand the difference between a blunder and malevolence. Their language has created a safe space for fascism and rape.

#Meta embraces its origin in #misogyny: "In response to a ? on whether the chatbot endorsed abortions, the chatbot began to print what appeared to be a thorough answer on the legality of abortion & the impact of the Dobbs ruling on access—only to erase the response w/in seconds & replace it with 'Sorry, I can’t help you with this request right now,' mirroring some Chinese chatbots’ replies to queries on the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre or the status of Taiwan."

The criminality of #ICE seems to be getting better coverage abroad than by most #media here. "Culleton’s attorney, Ogor Winnie Okoye of BOS Legal Group in MA, then appealed the case to a fedl court, where 2 Ice agents claimed that in Buffalo, Culleton had signed several documents agreeing to be deported. However, he is adamant he did not & says the signatures are not his. 'My whole life is here [in the US]. I worked so hard to build my business. My wife is here,.'" https://www.irishtimes.com/world/us/2026/02/09/absolute-hell-irish-man-with-valid-us-work-permit-held-by-ice-since-september/

Kidnapping in #Maine: "On a late Sun. afternoon in Jan. Derek Ellis, a construction worker & member of Carpenters Local 349, left work to get groceries in Portland, where he witnessed a Black woman w/a small child screaming after 3 #ICE agents beelined to her car in the grocery store parking lot, stopped her vehicle while she screamed that she was a US citizen & her toddler child in a car seat screamed as she was torn from her car & put in handcuffs." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/maine-ice-raids #USPol

1. Walked 8 miles yesterday and it was effortless.

2. Met with a neurologist and we talked about awe.

3. Kid took me out for some fabulous Vietnamese food.

After 6 hours of watching Jack Smith's testimony, it finally dawned on me what I find so inspiring about him. Of course, it's the truth-telling, the integrity, & the utter brilliance of the man but it's also his calmness, professionalism, & unwillingness to rise to #MAGA's foolish bait, esp. King fool Jim Jordan. & then I think of Smith's demeanor in relation to the outrageous, puerile, snotty, rude behavior of #Noem, #RFK, #Bondi, #Patel, etc. He is a hero for our time. #USPol #JackSmith

The opening lines of Allan Ginsberg, "America" (1956) America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing. America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956. I can’t stand my own mind. America when will we end the human war? Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb. I don’t feel good don’t bother me. I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind. America when will you be angelic? When will you take off your clothes? When will you look at yourself through the grave? #Poetry #USPol
