There are crimes that we’re likely to see this new regime charged with. Then there are the crimes. How about I assemble a list of the crimes? Why not. Let’s begin. Use of the election to incite violence. Aggravated use of hate speech during incitement. Corruption and use of office for personal gain. Including before […]
1) Sneak out, install speakers in the ceiling, and blast (alternately) epic cinematic music and the programmatically generated soundtrack to Portal 2. 2) Redecorate the office softball tournament trophy into a new and meaningful sculpture. 3) Switch all of the desktop computers with one another. 4) Sing the song of my cats’ people to the […]

What comes to mind when you hear, “When they go low, we go high?” Playing nice with the opposition by gently telling them they’re loved and they could do much better than the current outrage they inspire? Probably something like that. It can descend into well-meaning tone policing. Let’s talk about what that phrase. I […]
