Darrel PlantMy long-time online friend Jon Schwarz quotes my newer friend @sethcotlar in his latest Intercept article on the historical failure of Josh Hawley, student of history.

From her doorway, Clark said she heard the worker tell Amato, “‘Well, I’m going to call the cops and I’m going to tell them you assaulted me.”
Nguyen said he was inside his store when he also heard shouting and went to the back stairwell.
“I came out and told the gentleman, ‘Ronny’s OK to be here, I own the building, we allow him to be here,” he said.

It’s been 22 years since the sheriff’s office blew off the violation of a restraining order against the ex-boyfriend of my grandmother’s caretaker. He showed up at the house and killed my bed-ridden 82-year-old grandmother with a shotgun.

Thomas RidWas largely offline for a few days. This evening I spent about an hour reading on Mastodon, Twitter, and Post. Hard to put my finger on it, but I just don’t feel as well informed as I used to.

Not great.
