Of all the things I posted during these nightmare years, the one that sticks with me most is the one essayed by a far greater writer than me.

William Shakespeare, “The Stranger’s Case”
And the quote that has occurred to me most often:
The quote that has been my bell-weather and lighthouse.
And my own lesser version of Shakespeare’s conceit.

“What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love."
"Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago."
"I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order."

Every argument against raising the minimum wage involves pointing to some other part of our broken system as if it were a beloved cultural treasure to defend rather than just the next unacceptable thing that needs fixing.
“How is it fair to pay people making minimum wage $30k a year when high school teachers start at that?” as if stagnant wages for teachers were an unrelated matter; don’t worry, Bill, we’ll get to it.
Everyone should have the means to survive and thrive and if the current system doesn't provide for that then nuts to the current system; we shouldn't work for it, it should work for us.

All the bizarre and horrifying things he did are going to come back to us at random moments like half-remembered scraps of dreams. Trump poses in the Oval Office with an envoy from North Kore
"Am I wrong or did the president of the United States sit behind a truck just like a big boy and make honk honk sounds? Was that a real one or did I just ... OK he did? He did. Good. OK." Trump sits behind a truck like a big boy and makes honk honk
Now listen am I off here or did Trump make the joint chiefs pose for a fake situation room photo after all the shit was unplugged and make them pretend he was part of the successful op against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while they all looked like they'd swallowed a live cat—he did! OK. Trump makes the joint chiefs pose for a fake situation room

Pundits: The fact that Ossoff and Warnock are unlikely to both win their elections means Joe Biden needs to court Republican votes rather than push a much-needed progressive agenda

*Ossoff and Warnock win handily*

Pundits: Ah. Nevertheless,
The only way political reporting in this country makes sense is if you understand that the almost universal, almost subconscious default assumption: that conservative white people are the protagonists of any story that's being told, no matter the facts of the story.
Just do the obvious and necessary good things and let the horrid evil people who hate good things squeal and cry about it forever.

Two hour conference call with Christian Interviews leadership team and sign printers on when to stop the hyphens on “m- - - - - bators.”
“Jebediah I appreciate your perspective but I just think that writing “bators” is also an abomination unto THE LORD so maybe take a prayerful look into the matter and add that 6th hyphen.”
I’m the pope.

74 million people desperately wanted to see 4 more years of this absolutely suicidal madness and brutality and incompetence and this terrifying humiliating degradation of all our finer aspirations for ourselves, and they also want to be taken very seriously by the rest of us.
Honestly if you’re still a Republican how have you not perished of shame. Honest question, honestly curious, how are you not simply dead of shame.
I’m just sitting here wondering what we do knowing that over 70m Americans are too either 1) disconnected from reality or 2) comfortable with/enthusiastic about cruelty to be trusted around a plastic spork much less children or traffic.
