“So tonight, let’s all agree to stand up for seniors. Stand up and show them we will not cut Social Security. We will not cut Medicare.

Those benefits belong to the American people. They earned them.” #sotu2023

If anyone tries to cut Social Security, I will stop them. And if anyone tries to cut Medicare, I will stop them.

I will not allow them to be taken away.

Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

Great #StateOfTheUnion tonight. So far. I do swear I heard Biden say “turducken” though.
First episode of #Witcher #BloodOrigin was decent. Some clunky writing (likely as they’re compressing the story into four episodes), but I enjoyed it and look forward to the rest.
A lovely Washington Post article about Tori Amos and the adaptation of Little Earthquakes into comics form to celebrate its 30th anniversary, with contributions from Margaret Atwood and me.

Tori Amos fought for her songs 30 years ago. Now she’s celebrating them.

Tori Amos is marking the anniversary of her album “Little Earthquakes” with a graphic novel version, which has Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman among its contributors.

Latest release is “Pray Too Hard | God Holds Back,” a bit if an experimental rock-ish song. #music #indiemusic #guitar https://youtu.be/W7scrcgnPMY

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Congress has never, in all of U.S. presidential history, referred an American president to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation and prosecution - until now.
Today is about setting the record for history and lighting a pathway toward justice. But will the DOJ prosecute? I’d like to be optimistic.
I have the sweetest wife and child. I’m sick, recovering, and my wife planned a great vacation I almost had to bail on if I didn’t get better. I’m on the mend, and she drives us up to our home for the night. But there weren’t enough beds (kid in one, wife in one, and me on the floor). (I’m still masking and staying distant when not masked (flu)). Kid suggests, after getting out of bed yet again, that mom sleep with her (unheard of). She does, and I have a bed to myself. ZzZzZz
